An example embodiment of a turbine engine assembly includes a low spool including a low spool accessory drive gear driven by a low rotor shaft, a high spool including a high spool accessory drive gear driven by a high rotor shaft concentric around a portion of the low rotor shaft, and a differential gear assembly adapted to offtake power from rotation of one or both of the low spool and the high spool to drive one or more accessory loads. The differential gear assembly includes a differential bullgear and one or more idler gears each including a plurality of teeth meshed with the low spool accessory drive gear and the high spool accessory drive gear, and a bearing surface. The differential bull gear includes a plurality of teeth and a corresponding at least one bearing surface engaging with the bearing surface of each of the one or more idler gears. The plurality of teeth are adapted to mesh with an accessory drive system to transfer the power offtake and drive the one or more accessory loads.
