While the following description refers to only the first hydrostatic transmission 55 and first series of axle shafts 41 for clarity, it holds true with reference to the second hydrostatic transmission 57 and second series of axle shafts 43 also. 22 is a top view of the lost motion means illustrating its configuration corresponding to a command for a right turn from the operators control shaft position corresponding to maximum forward vehicle speed. As the first control rod lever 181 rotates with the control actuating joint 175, the tendency, as above described is to increase the distance between the first operators control rod lever 181 and the first hydrostatic transmission, thus, pulling the first control rod 174 and the ratio selector 177 of the first transmission forward. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that two resilient means, each affixed to a different control rod lever could be substituted for the reilient means 189, and that such a modification is within the scope of the appended claims. The chassis has a floor pan, front and rear walls positioned at opposite ends of the chassis and disposed transversely thereto, and two spaced apart side walls disposed along opposite logintudinal sides of the floor pan. 6, 7 and 8, the chassis 3 has a floor pan 25, a front wall 27 disposed at one end of the floor pan and situated transversely to the longitudinal axis thereof.

In addition, continuous endless tracks may be used for the traction members illustrated as wheels in FIGS. The opposite occurs when a command for a left turn is executed. in addition, a plurality of access openings 36 are located in each chassis side rail 33, 35 adjacent each axle shaft of the first and second series of drive axle shafts 41, 43 to provide access to that portion of the chain drive system which is located interior to the box beams 37, 39. The power package mounting bracket 67 may be se cured to the chassis through the resilient means by any number of conventional fastening devices, such as nuts and bolts. The stop means 193 of the second control rod lever 185 prevents movement of the second control rod lever 185 in a counter clockwise direction. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION With reference to FIGS. An amphibious all-terrain vehicle as defined in claim 1, further characterized in having: resilient means disposed between said power package mounting bracket and said chassis to absorb forces generated in said chassis by said surface over which said vehicle translates to isolate said forces in said chassis. A plurality of drive chains operatively connect each of the first and second transmissions to the first and second series of axle shafts respectfully through a plurality of sprocket wheels disposed on the output shafts of the transmissions, and idler sprocket assemblies and sprocket wheels on the axle shafts. FIG. The invention relates to an amphibious all-terrain delivery platform. Description of Prior Art The prior art amphibious all-terrain vehicles experience a number of drive system problems such as short chain drive system life due to a lack of lubrication, drive chains disengaging from their mating drive system components upon a sudden change in direction of the driving forces applied to the drive system by the transmissions, inadequate driving torque due to low, or no multiplication of the engine torque as it is transmitted to the drive system from the transmissions, and failure of the engine and transmissions due to rigidly mounting them to the vehicle, thus subjecting them to the forces exerted on the vehicle as it translates over undulating terrain. 1 v Column 17," line 21, --second-. 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.. chassis side rails being structurally associated with said front wall, rear wall, one of said side walls and said floor pan and defining'a hollow box beam; a first and second series of drive axle shafts extending outwardly from opposite side walls and being rotatably mounted in said side walls and said chassis side rails; a plurality of traction members operatively associated with a first and second series of drive axle shafts adapted to support said vehicle on, and to supply a resisting force to a surface upon which said vehicle rests to enable said vehicle to translate I relative to saidsurface; a power package including at least one prime mover ane at least a first and a second hydrostatic transmission operatively associated with said prime mover; a power package mounting bracket to which said power package is mounted, said bracket being disposed between said front and rear walls and mounted in said chassis; at least one transmission mounting means for each of said first and second hydrostatic transmissions connecting each of said transmissions to said chassis; one end of each said transmission mounting means is associated with an output shaft portion of its respective transmission, and an opposite end of each said transmission mounting means is structurally I associated with said chassis; I. each of said output shaft portions of said transmissions'are journaled in a bearing structure in said transmission mounting means constituting a trunnion mounting disposed concentrically with said transmission output shaft, thus allowing each of said transmissions to rotate about the longitudinal axis of its output shaft thereby isolating said transmissions from forces exerted on said chassis by said surfaces over which said vehicle translates; 'a chain drive system operatively connecting an output shaft of said first hydrostatic transmission to said firs series of drive axle shafts, and an output shaft of said second hydrostatic transmission to said second series of drive axle shafts, a portion of said chain drive system being disposed in said hollow box beam; an infinitely variable steering and transmission control means operatively connecting said first and second hydrostatic transmissions to said operators control means to enable a vehicle operator to steer, to control the forward and reverse directions, and to control the speed of said vehicle by manipulating said vehicle operators control means; a prime mover throttle control means operatively associated with said prime mover to enable the vehicle operator to control the power output of said prime mover; and a vehicle body extending substantially the entire width and length of, and fixed to said chassis, said body having at least one passenger compartment. FIG. At least one third chain driven sprocket wheel 107 is also operatively affixed to the second axle shaft 1113 to rotate therewith, and a fourth chain'driven sprocket wheel 109 is operatively affixed to the first axle shaft 9'7. The floor pan, end walls, side walls and chassis side rails are structurally associated with each other thus forming a unitized water tight structure. By restricting any undeisred motion of the control shaft 147, the transmissions 55, 57 are maintained in speed ratios consistent with the operating conditions required at that moment. 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. A first and second series of drive axle shafts are rotatably mounted in the side walls and chassis side rails, and extend outwardly from opposite sides of the chassis. as viewed in FIGS. The sprocket wheel 129 thereby contacts the chain 131 and applies a constant force against the chain in a direction substantially transverse thereto, hence subjecting the chain to tensioning forces. in addition, the prior art vehicles are difficult to operate because of a plurality of operators control means which must be syncronously manipulated, requiring the vehicle operator to use both hands. FIG. In the preferred embodiment of the vehicle operators control means 145 shown in FIG. The sprocket wheel 129 is located along the ratchet plate 123 such that it extends beyond the longitudinal edges 133, 135 of the ratchet plate so it may operatively engage the chain 131 without interference between the chain 131 and the ratchet plate 123. Two chassis side rails are located interior to the chassis disposed along opposite longitudinal sides, and extend substantially the entire'length of the chassis. 21 and 22, these stop means 191, .193 are angled edges formed in each of control rod levers 181, 185. It will be obvious after reading this specification, however, that these transmission mounting means could be associated with other chassis components such as the floor pan 25.
