Abstract: A wheel system for a snowmobile ski provided with an adapter plate secured thereto is provided. The wheel system includes an actuating assembly having a support plate removably connectable to the adapter plate to enable connection and disconnection of the actuating assembly from the adapter plate and from the snowmobile ski. The wheel system also includes an actuator pivotally connectable to the support plate and operable between an idle configuration and an engaged configuration. The wheel system further has a wheel coupled to the actuator and adapted to be positioned in a raised position spaced from a ground surface when operating the actuating assembly in the idle configuration, and a lowered position in engagement with the ground surface when operating the actuating assembly in the engaged configuration.

Abstract: An accessory mounting system for mounting an accessory on a vehicle is provided. The accessory mounting system includes a mounting assembly which has an elongated rail removably connectable to the vehicle. The elongated rail is provided with a slot extending therealong and which opens on a top surface of the elongated rail. The mounting assembly also includes a connector having a head portion slidably mounted within the slot, and a shank portion extending from the head and vertically above the top surface of the elongated rail. The mounting assembly also has a mounting fixture connectable to the connector and adapted to selectively have a portion of the accessory be connected thereto, the mounting fixture is connected to the connector in a manner such that moving the connector along the slot correspondingly displaces the mounting fixture along the elongated rail to adjust the position of the accessory on the vehicle.
