Abstract

A forward frame is provided that includes a first side that includes an inner perimeter that defines a first side opening, and a second side that includes an inner perimeter that defines a second side opening. The first side and the second side define a rear opening therebetween at the rear of the forward frame assembly for receiving at least a portion of a heat exchanger assembly, a tunnel, or both therein.

Claims (41)

1. A snowmobile forward frame assembly, comprising:

a steering column mount component configured to secure an upper portion of a steering column;

a rearward leg extending rearward from the steering column mount component;

a forward leg extending forward from the steering column mount component;

a lower member positioned below the rearward leg and the forward leg;

a front member extending forward from the forward leg; and

a pivot mount joint extending upward from the lower member to the front member, the pivot mount joint including a first steering column mounting point configured to pivotally secure a lower portion of the steering column at a first location on the forward frame, a second steering column mounting point configured to pivotally secure the lower portion of the steering column at a second location on the forward frame, and an A-arm mounting point configured to secure an A-arm suspension member.

2. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second steering column mounting point is positioned forward of the first steering column mounting point, wherein the second location is different from the first location.

3. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the lower member includes a plurality of lower tubes, the plurality of lower tubes forming a V-shape, wherein the pivot mount joint is positioned at a forward tip of the V-shape.

4. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 3 , wherein the lower member includes a bottom plate extending across the plurality of lower tubes.

5. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a metal plate component extending between the rearward leg and the lower member.

6. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 5 , wherein the metal plate component includes a bottom flange configured to secure a lower tube of the lower member.

7. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 6 , wherein the metal plate component includes an upper flange configured to secure a horizontal member extending between the forward leg and the rearward leg.

8. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 7 , wherein the metal plate component is positioned outboard from a heat exchanger end cap.

9. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pivot mount joint includes a ball joint receptacle.

10. A snowmobile forward frame assembly, comprising:

a steering column mount component configured to secure an upper portion of a steering column;

a first rearward leg extending rearward from the steering column mount component along a first outboard side of the forward frame and a second rearward leg extending rearward from the steering column mount component along a second outboard side of the forward frame;

a first forward leg extending forward from the steering column mount component along the first outboard side of the forward frame and a second forward leg extending forward from the steering column mount component along the second outboard side of the forward frame;

a first lower tube positioned below the first rearward leg and the first forward leg;

a second lower tube positioned below the second rearward leg and the second forward leg;

a first metal plate component extending from the first rearward leg to the first lower tube; and

a second metal plate component extending from the second rearward leg to the second lower tube,

wherein the first metal plate component and the second metal plate component are positioned outboard of a heat exchanger assembly,

wherein the first rearward leg is secured to a tunnel and to the first metal plate component and the second rearward leg is secured to the tunnel and to the second metal plate component.

11. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first metal plate includes a first bottom flange configured to couple with the first lower tube and wherein the second metal plate includes a second bottom flange configured to couple with the second lower tube.

12. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first metal plate includes a first upper flange configured to couple with a first horizontal tube extending between the first rearward leg to the first forward leg and wherein the second metal plate includes a second upper flange configured to couple with a second horizontal tube extending from the second rearward leg to the second forward leg.

13. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 12 , wherein the first horizontal tube is removably securable to the forward frame assembly to allow insertion and removal of an engine from the forward frame assembly.

14. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first metal plate component includes a first aperture configured to receive a track drive shaft therethrough.

15. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 14 , wherein the first metal plate component includes a second aperture configured to receive a caliper in a first caliper position therethrough, and wherein the second aperture is configured to receive the caliper in a second caliper position therethrough.

16. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first metal plate is configured to be secured directly to a first heat exchanger end cap and the second metal plate is configured to be secured directly to a second heat exchanger end cap.

17. A snowmobile forward frame assembly, comprising:

a plurality of vertical members, including:

a first rearward leg and a second rearward leg,

a first forward leg and a second forward leg;

an upper steering column mount including a plurality of channels, wherein the plurality of channels are configured to receive an upper portion of the first rearward leg, the second rearward leg, the first forward leg, and the second forward leg, the upper steering column mount configured to secure an upper portion of a steering column; and

a lower steering column mount configured to secure a lower portion of the steering column, the lower steering column mount including a first steering column mounting point and a second steering column mounting point positioned forward of the first steering column mounting point.

18. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 17 , wherein the snowmobile forward frame assembly is configured to secure a first steering column assembly at the first steering column mounting point and a second steering column assembly at the second steering column mounting point.

19. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 17 , wherein the upper steering column mount is configured to secure to a mounting block on the steering column.

20. The snowmobile forward frame assembly of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the plurality of vertical members is removably secured to the forward frame assembly to allow insertion and removal of an engine from the forward frame assembly.
