Selling this bike for use as is or restoration. Complete at 99%--air cleaner is missing, rear seat added by original owner and pull starter needs work. 6 HP Tecumseh and appears to be Climb-Away clutch with shaft drive. Came from State College, PA and was local Tote Gote dealer's personal bike...

Jason, Was reading through this thread again today and remembered a book I used to have when I was still collecting and restoring military vehicles. Don't have the book any longer, but pulled up second edition on B&N website. The attached screen shots are of the motorcycle pages. You may have...

Thank you both! Sounds like the engines with 2-5/16" straight shafts will work with either a Climbaway or Comet on a 670. Can't remember if both a Climbaway and any aftermarket driver have to be reversed for the 670, or it was just the aftermarket. I'm at a disadvantage as without an engine or...

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Trying to pull the trigger on a new engine for my Nova--original was missing. What shaft length and diameter is best for an OEM Climbaway drive clutch? Can't find any data or guidance for the Climbaway and what I've read on a Comet 40 series leads me to believe the...

Jason, Seems to be everyone's consensus--fun, but frustrating at time! Sold all my project cars and trucks for the move from Colorado, so it looks like my "tinkering" is downsizing along with our home. Need to keep busy though! Dave

Thank you! One frame feature that confused me is the length-wise flat bars welded between the most aft cross braces. Did not know if this was factory design or done by an owner. Bike is fairly complete with the missing air cleaner being something I will address first.

Just acquired this bike from a Cushman collector and expert in Florida. He advertized as a Tote Gote 600, but sure looks like a model P to me based upon frame. Also had a very nice 750 I considered buying, but passed due to other projects. Will have the bike here in early December, so have to...

Richard, Dave, Another question you may or may not be able to help me with. I've heard of a CD-ROM for sale containing Tote Gote information, but have had no luck finding someone to purchase same from. Any suggestions? Thank you... Dave

Dave, Richard, This is a wonderful forum and you both are awesome! I will read the thread as suggested, and I would also prefer to keep this TG as original as possible. May have to do more research and possibly searching locally for some OEM parts. We just moved from Colorado to upstate NY...

Dave, I can't thank you enough--your explanation makes perfect sense!! I'll start looking at possible engines (amazing at what's out there) and also a Comet 40. Assume a 7/8- or 1-inch-wide drive belt, but will verify with the Comet web site. As you mentioned, the OHV engines look very...

Dave, Thank you very much for the detailed reply--it helps a great deal! So, given a climb away will be hard to procure, sounds like the Comet will perform well as a surrogate. The caution on engine mounting makes perfect sense as well--I have no idea what brand or horsepower came OEM. Can...

All, Brand new to this forum and I'm looking at the purchase of a worm-gear-drive 1965 (according to seller) 670 frame with engine, drive clutch, seat, and screen covers missing. Appears to be in decent shape and I would like to take it on as a project and return to operational use. My major...
