Hi Wayne,
Check out N6RK's web site:
http://www.n6rk.com/drill_adapter_for_winch/drill_adapter_for_winch.html
I just used this approach to raise and lower my TX-455 - works like a
champ. I'll soon post a few pictures on my web page as well. If you
have a 1/2 inch drill, then about $6 in parts will get you where you
want to go.
