Abstract

A gear driven oscillating sprinkler head includes a shifting gear train for transmitting drive from a drive motor to the oscillating sprinkler head with a shifting mechanism for shifting alternate driving pinions into driving engagement with an internal ring gear with the pressure angle of the engaging teeth being different for the different drive pinions to thereby balance the shifting force applied by the shifting mechanism.
