Thank you all for great ideas and now I appreciate N6RK's great ideas and 
site.

Hi Fred,

I use Rick N6RK's drill adapter to drive the Fulton winches
on my UST TX-472.  I drive it with a Milwaukee
"Super Hawg" drill (400rpm/13.5A). If I don't stop, it takes
only a few seconds to raise/lower it or tilt it up/down.
The thing is a MONSTER.  It's a factory-refurbished unit
that I found on eBay.  There are always several listed.

A plus is, I can still use the manual winch, if necessary.
Another plus is, I can drill VERY LARGE holes in just about
ANYTHING.

vy 73,
Bryan WA7PRC
