ABSTRACT:
A snowmobile stud (12) having a tip (18) which permits adjustment of the degree of protrusion of the tip beyond the bottom surface (10) of the track (1). The stud (12) can be installed with the aid of a nut (20) placed within an oversized bore (19). Alternatively, the stud (12) can be mounted within an undersized bore (27) without the use of a nut. In either method, an undersized hole is drilled in the existing laterally extending track stiffening bar (7), the hole being enlarged and self tapped by the advancement of the stud (12). The stud (12) may be fully retracted for use on snow or extended to the desired extent for use on ice.
