Window motor to toughbox?

We need some sort of motor/gearing system to lift our arm. Today we tried the fisher price with the gearbox, and it worked wonderfully except it doesn't stay put when you take the power off it, as in it can be forced to turn. So we want to try to attach two window motors into a toughbox that we used last year in our winch that pulled us up the tower.

Does anyone have any ways/suggestions to get the window motors to work with the thoughboxes? One suggestion we had was to take a hacksaw to the plastic on the shaft so you just have the bare metal. But then how does that attach to a gear?
