Tote gote drive train

[Emerica1975!!]

I’m new to this site so I’m not sure where to post this question. But I’m trying to figure out how my tote gote transmission goes back together I have two bikes and purchased them as basket cases. And just was hoping to find some good pics or diagrams to work from.

Do you have the original 'climbaway' clutch?

The bikes bikes came with 2 very different styles of drive trains. One using 2 different jack shafts and the other is with a two speed transmission unit and spring loaded pulleys somewhat like the diagram you posted. I will try to upload some pictures to show what they are.

We like pictures. To make things easier I think we should start with the frames. That way we can start making piles of parts that fit one frame or the other. It would also help to place a 3 inch tall number next to each part so we can call out each part. You know frame one and shaft 3 and so on and so on. This could be fun

Desert Rat is right. Tote Gote became a general term for most trail scooters. To give you good information, we need to determine just what you have. A picture is worth a thousand words...

I have three that are all different. The one I have taken apart right now is the one I am betting is NOT a Tote Goat but a Pak Pal. Then there is the Trail King I think it is, all get called tote goats but not all are. Richard is the king on these.

Here are a few photos of the bike frames and the transmission/ drivetrain pieces that came with the piles. Thanks again!!

My chains are off in this first shot. This is the shaft arrangement. Not the same frame. I do not have a two speed to take pictures of for you so that one is out for me to help you. I will get better pictures tomorrow. The tank is for a briggs front mount

Thanks desert rat for the pic!!

One of your scooters is a Blazer, the version that was built in Japan.

One is a Sherpa, made by Circle Corp in SLC

Thankyou for those pictures Richard. Those are great and very helpful. You guys are great on here!!

The master. I missed the "hoop" in the lower front of the frame.

I can’t get all of desert rats picture to load when I open it. Is there something different to that particular picture I need to do other than click on it?

 

[desert rat]

There should not be a problem. Richard's are better than mine , his are correct for your bike that's why he is the TG king.

Thanks for the help I’ve started putting pieces in the right areas , but now I’m wondering what size and type of engine is recommended and also what is recommended for a drive clutch and belt? Thanks again for the help.

Both of these scooters used a Briggs model 140000 6hp motor (142300, 146400, 147400, etc). A model 170000 7hp or 190000 8hp will also fit. Make sure the motor has the right shaft. The Blazer used a 'Marco Klymomatic' clutch, the Sherpa used a Salsbury 500 (Comet 500). Not sure about the belts.

 

[Emerica1975!!]

Thanks Richard!! You are a mountain of info.

 

[Emerica1975!!]

I’m wondering if there’s diagrams and parts list for the Klymomatic clutch I think I have most if not all the parts but they were scattered about in a tub when I got the pile and I’m having trouble seeing how it all goes back together. Thanks!!
