In particular, the invention pertains to an amphibious allterrain vehicle including a novel engine and transmission mounting means, drive system, and vehicle operators control means which renders the vehicle more reliable and easier to operate. Our new address is 10501 Winnetka Ave N, Brooklyn Park, Mn 55445. However, the transmission ratio selector device 177 is already in its most forward position corresponding to a maximum forward speed, it cannot be further displaced forward. Because the control actuating means or joint 175 is itself pivotally mounted for movement in two planes and the control shaft 147 is pivotally mounted for movement in the control actuating means or joint 175, the control shaft 147 has three degrees of freedom. An amphibious all-terrain vehicle as defined in claim 3, further characterized in that: said axle shafts protrude through said side walls, and are journaled in first bearings structurally attached to said side walls; sealing means are disposed at each of said first bearings to prevent the ingress of contaminates into said bearings; and said axle shafts extend through said box beam structure and have their ends journaled in second bearings attached to said chassis side rails at a position interior to said box beam. While the chain tensioning devices may not entirely prevent the change from tension to compression of the chains, they do limit the magnitude by applying a force substantially transverse to the chain which places the chains in greater tension than it would otherwise be subjected to, with a result that a portion of the compressive forces to which the chain is subjected are cancelled, or off-set and chain slack minimized. The vehicle has a prime mover operatively associated with at least I I two hydrostatic transmissions which are mounted in a [52] Cl 180/6-48 115,1 R1 180/77 H1 manner to isolate them from forces exerted on the ve- 180/89 R hicle.

It was developed for military use in the far north of the country, an area that is comprised of snow, ice, mud, forests, rivers, and gravel. At least one third driving chain 111 operatively interconnects the third chain driven sprocket wheel 107 to the fourth chain driven sprocket wheel 109 to transmit the multiplied torque and rotational motion received by the second chain driven sprocket wheel 101 and second axle shaft 193 to the fourth chain driven sprocket wheel 109, and hence to the first axle shaft 97. 4. 6. FIG. FIG. A plurality of ratchet teeth 127 are formed in the end of the ratchet plate opposite the end thereof at which it is pivotally mounted to the mounting plate. The floor pan, end walls, side walls and chassis side rails are structurally associated with each other thus forming a unitized water tight structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. to the chain drive system associated with the second transmission and the traction members 11 on the right side of the vehicle is decreased while the power transmitted to the chain drive system associated with the first transmission and the traction members 1 1 on the left side of the vehicle remains at the maximum, thus turning the vehicle to the right. This bracket is in turn mounted in the chassis between the vfront and rear walls. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides an amphibious all-terrain vehicle having chassis and a body, with at least one passenger compartment, extending substantially the entire width and length of the chassis and affixed thereto. 22. In a second embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. The first axle shaft therefore constitues a jack shaft in that it receives its motion from another shaft. The transmissions supply the power generated [51] Int. Such a movement would be cuased by the tensioning forces exerted on the chain 131 by the driving forces supplied by the prime mover 53 to the various sprocket wheels of the drive system. Well-Equipped All-Terrain Vehicle. Referring to FIGS. 9. a second control rod pivotally mounted at one of its ends to an end of said second control lever opposite said end of said second lever which is pivotally mounted to said control actuating joint and pivotally mounted at its opposite end to a ratio selector device of said second transmission. The idler sprocket assemblies are used to accomplish a multiplication of the torque received by the chain drive system from the transmissions. Driving Time: 20min. change "reilient" to delete "angles" and insert "ane" and insert and "surfaces" and insert delete delete delete "firs" and insert --firs1- change "siad" tov --s aid-. 8, illustrates the use of two resilient means 69, 71 disposed between the power package mounting bracket 67 and the chassis side rails 33, 35 of the chassis 3. 6. In the 1960s and 1970s the company made amphibious all-terrain vehicles that had six wheels known as the Terra Tiger . In the preferred embodiment, best illustrated in FIGS. At least one idler sprocket assembly 89 having at least a first 91, second 93, and third chain sprocket wheels is rotatably mounted on afirst axle shaft 97. FIG. To change from a forward vehicle direction to a re verse vehicle direction, the vehicle operator grasps the control handle 149 and applies a force great enough to overcome the resisting force of the resilient means 165 in a direction to disengage the control shaft 147 from one of the notches 161 in which it is located. This causes the driving ratio of the first transmission to increase resulting in a transmission of more power to the drive system associated with the first transmission which increases the speed of the traction members on that side of the vehicle.

A prime mover (11) and control center (22) are positioned on a deck framework (19) above the pontoon hull (2). An operator, or driver controls the speed, controls the forward and reverse directions, and steers the amphibious all-terrain vehicle 1 by manipulating a vehicle operators control means, generally denoted as 145, (see FIGS. Working fluid is thus prevented from circulating through the hydrostatic transmissions, and as a result hydraulic pressure is produced which prohibits the transmission output shafts 81 from rotating.

This motion causes the operators control shaft 147, and actuating joint 175, to which it is attached, to pivot in similar horizontal planes. Sis a side view of the power package mounting bracket shown in FIG. To turn the vehicle while it is moving forward at less than maximum speed, for example to make a right hand turn, the vehicle operator grasps the control handle 149, and without removing it from one of the notches 161 in which it may be located at the time, turns it in a clockwise direction, thus pivoting it in a plane substantially parallel to the horizontal plane through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. 17-19 & 21-22) which is pivotally mounted to the chassis 3 for motion in two planes generally perpendicular to each other, one plane being substantially parallel to a vertical plane along a longitudinal axis of the-vehicle, and the other plane substantially parallel to a horizontal plane through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
