ABSTRACT:
A snowmobile track drive system wherein the track drive sprockets and idler wheels are mounted to a hollow framed enclosure interior to the track. Slide rails are also mounted to the edges of the enclosure and about which the endless track revolves. The hollow enclosure is further pivotally mounted to the front of the snowmobile chassis, while the back end of the track assembly is pivotally mounted to the chassis via a pair of shock absorbers. Snow and ice buildup interior to the track and encountered shocks are thus reduced.
