Help, suggestions, thoughts please.

A friend with a Cessna 170 needs a method to push her airplane out of her hangar.  Getting the plane over the door rails is a bit of a struggle.

Anyone know of some inexpensive type of drill motor set up to a tow bar mechanism, or? 

Thank you in advance.

Probably devising something to pull from the main gear would be a little safer than pushing from the tail wheel. I would worry that that resistance of jumping the door tracks might cause the typical “tail dragger dragger” to slip off the tail wheel. Perhaps there is a solution for that now.  We used a trough to guide the tail wheel and ropes to pull the mains.
