A transaxle assembly includes an output shaft which drives a differential assembly. The differential assembly includes a first gear comprised of a spur gear which is adapted to be driven by the output shaft, a sun gear movable with the first gear, a non-movable ring gear, a plurality of planet gears adapted to be drivingly connected to the ring gear and to be driven by the sun gear orbitally thereabout, a planet gear carrier for rotatably supporting the plurality of planet gears and movable therewith, and a differential carried by the planet gear carrier. The differential is adapted to drive an axle on which two wheels are mounted.
