Looking for info on Calaveras Climber

[Dick DeBuse]

A friend picked up a Calaveras Climber at Portland and would like any information available. Square tube frame, made in Arnold Calif, has a fluid drive clutch, probably a Bowlus. Thanks

I have no info for you, but I have looked for one of those for a couple years now! I was a cheap a$$ and did not buy the one on eBay last year! Kickin' my own backside now!
I went through my "deformative years" in Arnold, Ca., and still have many friends in the area. My family moved there in 1976. As an avid dirt bike rider, I never saw nor heard of anyone making these minibikes. A quick Google search did not help. Good luck and keep us posted!

I don't have much info, either. Your lucky to have the motor and drive. I do have these pics of one with the rear tire.

wow that one must be rare not even a google pic. good thing richard has that pic, we would have no idea what the rest looked like haha

looks like now all you need is a tiller tire and wheel and a sprocket
