ABSTRACT:
A wheel mechanism is adapted to move between a stored condition and a use condition on a snowmobile. The wheel mechanism is located adjacent to the front end of the vehicle so the ski runner elements on the front end of the vehicle can be lifted off the terrain when the wheel mechanism is deployed. This will permit the vehicle to be operated on both snow and/or ice covered surfaces and on dry surfaces, such as roads. The wheel mechanism can be altered to adapt to the particular terrain.
