       BACKGROUND OF INVENTION  
       [0010] This invention relates to the manufacture of a snowmobile shop dolly that rolls easily and can roll over a curb when entering a garage, dealership repair facility or other buildings. The Snowmobile industry has had snowmobile shop dollies for years but they have wheels that are too small in diameter for the surfaces they are intended to roll. In addition, all garages, repair shops and most other buildings have a small to large curb or vertical area that keep rain and snow out and increase the elevation of the building. These curbs are usually adjacent to the door opening or entry. Many times these older dollies will roll on dry surfaces but not easily and when snow is on the surface they roll poorly. They also roll poorly over curbs and generally need a powerful push by 1 or 2 people.  
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0011] The Big Wheel Snowmobile Shop Dolly has a wheel diameter of 19 inches or larger and a width of between 1.5 inches and 3 inches. This gives this shop dolly the ability to roll easily with the weight of a snowmobile on a dry surface or when snow is present on that surface. The larger wheel also gives the ability to roll over curbs upon entering buildings. The Manufactured Shop Dolly&#39;s are references in 10A, 10B, 10C, 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
     [0018] The disclosed invention has a noticeably larger wheel that existing snowmobile dollies. It is much easier to enter building and roll in various conditions of the surface. Because of the large wheel the conditions of a surface may vary without a noticeable ability to roll. Such as snow on the surface or wet surfaces. In addition, with the larger wheel the body can roll over curbs, within an entry, easily without assistance of another person or existing extreme force. This invention is the combination of commonly available items. Snowmobile Shop Dollies and 20 inch diameter wheels or larger with a width of 1.5 inches to 3 inches. The shop dollies commonly available in the snowmobile industry and the wheels commonly available in the bicycle industry.
