The final drive reduces the rotating speed of travel motor (10). Output shaft (27) is splined through coupling (25) to sun gear (16) of the final drive.
The final drive consists of two groups. The first group consists of the three stages of the planetary gear reduction. The second group is the output group.
- The first stage reduction group consists of the following components: sun gear (16), planetary gear (15), planetary carrier (19), and ring gear (18). The group for second stage reduction consists of the following components: sun gear (20), planetary gear (11), planetary carrier (21) and ring gear (22). The third stage reduction group consists of the following components: sun gear (23), planetary gear (3), planetary carrier (24), and ring gear (22) .
- The output group is described in the following manner. The rotation of drive sprocket housing (28) provides the output torque that is necessary to drive the track. Drive sprocket housing (28), ring gear (22), and cover (17) are connected by bolts (1). The drive sprocket housing, the ring gear and the cover are supported by roller bearing (8). This planetary assembly rotates with ring gear (22) .
The planetary gears reduce the travel speed. The travel speed is reduced by the ratio of teeth of the sun gear and the ring gear. The compact final drive offers a greater reduction ratio when the sun gear is incorporated inside the ring gear.
Operation
Rotation of travel motor output shaft (27) is transmitted to first stage sun gear (16). Sun gear (16) is splined to output shaft (27). When sun gear (16) is viewed from the motor side, the description below details the operation of the travel drive assembly as sun gear (16) rotates clockwise.

In the first stage reduction group, planetary gears (15) are meshed with sun gear (16). Planetary gears (15) rotate counterclockwise as sun gear (16) rotates clockwise. Planetary gears (15) are also meshed with ring gear (18). Planetary gears (15) walk around the teeth of ring gear (18). As planetary gears (15) rotate, the planetary gears circle around sun gear (16) clockwise. Planetary gears (15) are mounted to planetary carrier (19) by planetary shafts (13) and roller bearings (14). The assembly of planetary carrier (19) rotates clockwise.

Rotation of planetary carrier (19) is transmitted to sun gear (20) of the group for second stage reduction. The group for second stage reduction is splined to planetary carrier (19). Sun gear (20) rotates clockwise. Clockwise rotation of sun gear (20) rotates planetary gears (11) counterclockwise. Planetary gears (11) are meshed with sun gear (20) .

As planetary gears (11) rotate, the planetary gears circle around sun gear (20) clockwise. Planetary gears (11) are mounted to planetary carrier (21) by planetary shafts (12) and roller bearings (2).

Rotation of second stage planetary carrier (21) is transmitted to third stage sun gear (23), which is splined to carrier (21) .
Splines on planetary carrier (24) engage with teeth on the outer circumference of motor housing (9) through gear coupling (6). When the housing is held to the track frame, planetary carrier (24) cannot rotate. The first stage and second stage planetary gears turn around the first stage and second stage planetary gear's own sun gears. In contrast, each planetary gear (3) will rotate on the planetary gear's individual axis from the planetary gear's original mounted position. This causes ring gear (22) to rotate counterclockwise.
Ring gear (22) and drive sprocket housing (28) are held together with bolts (1). The sprocket wheel is bolted to the housing. The torque of sun gear (23) is transmitted to the housing. This causes the sprocket to rotate counterclockwise. The right track rotates in the forward direction.

The spline of second stage planetary carrier (18) meshes with third stage sun gear (22). The rotation of planetary carrier (18) is transmitted to sun gear (22). Sun gear (22) rotates clockwise.
In the third stage reduction group, the spline teeth of planetary carrier (21) mesh with teeth on the outer circumference of motor housing (10). Since motor housing (10) is fixed to the track frame, planetary carrier (21) does not rotate.
Planetary shaft (8) is stationary. The planetary gear (third stage) (6) rotates around planetary shaft (8). Since planetary carrier (21 ) is attached to the track frame and the planetary carrier does not move, ring gear (20) rotates counterclockwise. Since ring gear (20) and drive sprocket housing (9) are held together with bolts (3), drive sprocket housing (9) rotates counterclockwise. This causes the right track to move in a forward direction.
