Robert: Ah-ha using a new handle, I wondered what ever became of you. E mail me and I'll give you the secret on a good creeper. You could build a treadmill, using belt pulley for drive end, remove the seat, and let your wife steer from the moving treadmill. She may encounter some difficulty on the North Mountain. Not sure which would be worse climbing or holding back. I suppose you could equip her with turbo and engine brakes. There you go, another place I would not dare stop to visit in eastern Ontario.Not so seriously, you may encounter the same problems as Angus, a guy in my hometown. His boys and a few friends getting out of the military after WW#2 built Angus a 6 cylinder, 4x4, tractor using military hardware. the thing weighed about 4 ton. Angus hitched the new tractor to his wagon and loose hay loader. Angus's wife Edith had always driven the horses loading hay, thus it was gettyup and whoa. Angus only bothered to tell Edith about the clutch, throttle and gear shift. At the crest of a hill, Angus yelled whoa, Edith shoved in clutch and away they went, reaching speeds of close to 20 mph, hay loader burried near burried Angus until it exploded. Angus was quite sore with the boys about his wrecked hayloader. Just sometimes these ventures just don't work with husband and wife.
