Hello everyone,
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major tasked with the design of a gear reducer using spur gears. We haven't studied gears in-depth up to this point and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions regarding initial design considerations or a possible starting point. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Design Requirements:
1.) The reducer must transmit 22HP
2.) The input is from an engine with a rotational speed of 1800rpm
3.) The output delivers power at a rotational speed in the range of 330 to 335rpm
4.) The output is connected to the drive shaft of a tractor (Moderate Shock)
5.) Input/Output shafts must be in-line (as illustrated)
6.) Reducer must fit in a space no larger than 22x22in with maximum height 25in
