Thank you for the offer, 120 volt in the middle of wilderness won't work for me. Will have to stick with the rope for now.
Great idea though
Say, did you mean 12 volt instead of 120 volt ?

110/115 volt

Try using an old aluminum 3-5 hp engine off of a lawnmower or edger. I used one with the handle attached to the head bolts and bolted to a small plywood base. Just set it on the fender and spin the pony with a v-belt. It works like a charm....

Great ideas to ponder, thanks for responding about this subject
Thinking more along the lines of of building a setup like OEM would be.
I see where something that is portable, for those out of the way treasures, would be a blessing.
Or bring along the grandson, to be my "starter".😀
