I did it much easier. I found a used 4 speed transmission that I mounted on a 2 wheeled dolly I could run with either a gas engine or an electric motor. The electric motor worked the best because I could control the power wherever I was operating the elevator from. The beauty of my setup was I had 4 speeds that I could operate the elevator and it was a power source I could use in other places. I could ruin the elevator from either side by just reversing the motor.

Thanks so much, Steve! I hope you had a good 4th celebration.

That is going to work great. I'm excited to see the next step, which will probably be lining up the engine and the two pullies. Will there be a tensioner on the belt, or will the engine have a slide adjustment for belt tension?

[@ssprofirewood]

Thank you, Kenny! I didn't add a tensioner, but I bought an engine mount that allows the motor to slide. This is way out of my wheelhouse, so I am sure some of it is comical 😂
