Soooo....many gearing options, I count 3 units with dozens (if not more) choices of different gear  ratios. The beauty of the "Big Red" transmission is its got the heft, to not need to be anchored down by anything. the Jensen #55 is the perfect choice for powering this fine Ferris wheel, on its own it could have many a throttle range required for this set up.
