I doubt load leveler shocks would do anything, it's rather impossible to wind the planetary gearbox from the output side, it must be rotated from the input. But assuming the motor is "dead" you could remove it and wind the input pinion of the gear box by hand or with an electric drill and some suitable adapter. The gearbox is something in the order of 2500/1 ratio so it will take A LOT of turns. This would allow you to do your tour, assuming your diagnosis of the problem is correct.

But why not first just remove the motor and see if it is really burned out (unlikely), and if so, if it's easily repairable - it's nothing more than a slightly modified generator.
