Have a Bombardier KD.
Its designers offered a choice of various engine/gearbox combination and the chosen one was the Detroit Diesel !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! attached to an Allison !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! gearbox. The two were ideally suited, but not in the way one would have wanted. The two stroke used diesel as if it was going out of fashion and the transmission (mission statement: the lowest possible gear always) ensured that it ran as thirstily as possible by hanging on grimly to first gear. Added to that noise, smoke and the fact that all the parts had to come from somewhere in America and you see why neither has been seen on our roads since.
They did last a long time though which is why they were chosen in the first place.

That looks nothing like a snowmobile. With Bombardier building it, I’d expect it to have tracks.
(Yes, I know they also build trains and airplanes, along with boats, ski-doos, and sea-doos.)
