Reducing the drum size has more effect on torque than I realized. My
spreadsheet shows 953 lb-ft for 48", 242 lb-ft for 36" and only 85 lb-ft for
24".

What do you think?

I think that there is someting confusing here ... the torque will not
vary with the drum size if it is shaft driven ... the line tension
will vary inversly with diameter ... tension x diameter = constant
(torque)

Give us more to go on.
