Hey Steve- You find me one'a those Palominos, and I'll make it 4wd for 'ya. We'll put in a Command 25 in front of a tranny/t-case combination and a quartet of 26-12-12 ags, and you can enter it in Four Wheeler's Tough Truck Challenge... I'll bet you'd place pretty well, too, but I'd recommend a slightly lower, and perhaps 'more conformal' seat... and a roll-bar.
Actually, we could rip this 500cc liquid-cooled V-twin out of my Honda CX-500D, and butcher a Cub axle (replace the ring-gear with a big chain sprocket, fit cardan-joints to each axleshaft) and place it in the frame as a full-time transfer case...
Regarding wiring diagrams for the 147 electric lift... there are low-res scans of diagrams posted at many sites, I'm certain that a google-search will get you tonight-results. As far as wiring goes for the lift, check to see that power is actually appearing at the lift's connector (thereby eliminating possibility of fuse or power-supply wiring problems). Rig a temporary ground for testing, and if grounding is a problem follow the ground-path wire and see where it terminates. If ground AND power are good, there's a possibility that the motor has one bad winding or commutator pole... and once it's off that one bad pole, it'll seemingly run fine under no load...
