ABSTRACT:
A two piece shovel mounted on a vehicle such as snowmobile. A mounting cover extends over part of the vehicle's transmission and serves to support the shovel head and its attached upper handle section and the lower separated handle section. Cover prongs may engage holes in the handle sections along with several fasteners to provide this support. The shovel's head also overlaps and protects part of the vehicle's transmission. A series of holes in the upper handle section serve as receptors for a spring biased pin located on the lower handle section. By selectively engaging these holes with the pin, the total assembled handle length may be adjusted. Additional features include a lower handle compartment for emergency items and inscribed emergency procedures on the shovel head's back.
