Worm gear hand winch. Cut it down and use the gear to drive a sprocket
and chain to the BEARING supported rotisserie on the stand.

The engine stand I built is HEAVY. I also added a hydraulic column to
mine so you can adjust the height. Makes it easier to split the tractor.
Roll the stand up, adjust it to center and bolt it down.
I use it for standard engines and HEAVY truck engines as well.
