A snowmobile hitch has a U-shaped mounting bracket for mounting to the tunnel and grab bar of a snowmobile using existing bolt holes in the grab bar. The mounting bracket aerodynamically and aesthetically fits the snowmobile and does not protrude from the snowmobile except when a hitch is attached.

[ what is claimed is:] [1.] A snowmobile hitch comprising:a U-shaped mounting bracket formed from one piece in unitary construction defined by a closed end having a rear edge and a rearward facing surface and by two mounting arms having side edges, with the closed end extending between the two mounting arms forming a substantially vertical U-shaped outer wall with the arms, each of said mounting arms and said closed end having a top surface projecting inwardly and projecting substantially horizontally from said U-shaped outer wall and wherein the top surface and the U-shaped outer wall form a substantially inverted L-shaped structure on all three sides of the mounting bracket and whereby the top surface overhangs a hollowed-out interior on all three sides of the mounting bracket and wherein the mounting bracket has only one substantially vertical wall and wherein the only substantially vertical wall of the mounting bracket is the U-shaped outer wall and wherein the substantially inverted L-shaped structure allows the mounting bracket to be mounted substantially flush with the sides and rear of the snowmobile; and,means for receiving a ball mount comprising an opening extending through the rearward facing surface of the closed end and a hollow stock receiver attached to the opening, wherein said opening and hollow stock receiver form a passage through the closed end, projecting forwardly therefrom substantially parallel to said arms; and,a ball mount having a ball mount shaft which removably and snugly engages said ball mount receiving means and hitching means attached to said ball mount.
