Last year's rule says "The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface may be modified...". It seems like that modification would be covered by that wording.

how to attach a lever to the motor (just guessing here) get one of these adapters, which you might already have in your toolbox.



Insert the square end into the star shaped hole in the motor. Might take some grinding to get it to fit.

then put a 1/4" combination wrench on the hex part of the adapter.

Are the internal gears metal?

How much torque can the output shaft experience before breaking an internal component?

Internal gears are all plastic except for the worm. Hard to predict absolute limit since a lot depends on how well it is mounted and how tight the fit to the shaft and if it's a quick or slow force acting on it. These plastic gears will take quite a bit of abuse but something will crack or strip if lets say you have a long lever arm and smash into something.

We have a metal gear option but it was so heavy we decided not to offer it.

I did find a few options in a mechanics toolbox where the square part fit exactly. It was a non standard fitting though. Might take a little digging but it's out there. That is a good option for a quick and simple solution.
