I once used a BIG concrete drill on an HDX-572.  Took off the crank handle,
chucked it up, and let it spin at slow speed.  Worked great.

Ok.... i just hand cranked my TX-472 up, its 80F and 60% humidity and am now
soaking wet... i am also a little overweight , lazy and short on cash . so
whats the most economical way to motorize this thing... i have access to a
1HP motor , maybe even one a little bigger.  

Any Ideas ??
