[6pack] Motor Install

[rmf3860 rmf3860]

Thank you, each of you, for responding to my question. Despite the
cumulative years of experience between you (us), it's clear that there's
more than one way that works. I'm still waiting for my transmission to be
completed, so it might be a couple weeks before I put the motor on the
hook. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.
