Here's what is on my genie towable lift to make it self propelled. Might give you some ideas.
You would need two motors though (one for each side) It also uses another cylinder to engage the drum against the tires. With this setup you can spin in circles or drive in a straight line by varying the speed and direction of each motor... Like a zero turn. But it might be possible to work a simplified system that you manually lock the drums in place and only goes in a straight line.
