Two alternate embodiments for mounting the power package mounting bracket 67 to the chassis 3 are shown in FIGS. 10. This effectively prevents any distortions of the chassis 3 produced by undulating terrain from reaching the transmissions 55, 57 through the transmission mounting means 79, the distortion being dissipated in a pivoting motion of the transmission mounting means 79 about the trunnion-type mounting configuration. An added safety feature is the units ability to float. 6 is a top view of the chassis of the vehicle shown in FIGS. with twin-differential or epicyclic gears differential power outputs being effected by additional power supply to one side, e.g. For example, any number of prime movers such as Wankel, Otto cycle, Diesel cycle, Vapor power cycle engines or compound power plants incorporating a number of these cycles may be used. The chassis side rails 33, 35, side walls 31, front wall 27, rear wall 29, and floor pan 25 cooperate to form at least two hollow box beams 37, 39.. The vehicle has a prime mover operatively associated with at least two hydrostatic transmissions which are mounted in a manner to isolate them from forces exerted on the vehicle. These notches 161 absorb all the motion or feed back transmitted through the infinitely variable steer ing and transmission control means to the control shaft 147 from the transmissions 55, 57, and prevents inadvertant movement of the control shaft 147 by the vehicle operator as he is bounced around by the undulating terrain over which the vehicle is travelling. Amphibious Function Body Material: ABS Plastics. As is best shown in FIG. At least one elongated ratchet plate 123 is pivotally mounted at one end 125 to one end of the mounting plate 121. FIG. 13 is a top-view of the drive chain tensioning device shown in FIG. structure; at least two spaced apart chassis side rails located interior to said chassis disposed along opposite longitudinal sides of and extending substantially the entire length of said chassis, each of said. This movement is accomplished by applying a bending force to the operators control shaft 167. 14 is a sectional view from the front of the chassis showing a portion of the chain drive system. 1'7 is a vertical sectional view of the vehicle operators control shaft console showing the preferred embodiment of the vehicle operators control shaft, the vehic'te operators control means, acutating means, and lost motion means. Two spaced apart side walls 31 are located along opposite longitudinal sides of the floor pan 25. 2, I4, 15 and 16) extend outwardly from opposite chassis side walls 31. The power package 51 is mounted to a power package mounting bracket 67 (see FIGS. FIG. FIG. 1 and 2, preventing any lost motion in the first control rod lever 181. 1, 2 and 3.
