A planetary final drive having an output shaft journaled in a two-part housing with a compound gear consisting of a sun gear and a spur gear supported by a bearing on the output shaft. The spur gear engages and is driven by a powered pinion gear, and the sun gear engages and drives the planet gears in the planet carrier; the latter gears engage a ring gear grounded to the housing. Spacer means carried by said output shaft locate the bearing and maintain it under the spur gear, and preclude relative axial movement of the compound gear relative to the carrier.
