I'd like to see a better pic of the mounting of the vertical post that supports the crank handle/shaft. Is it fixed in a vertical position? If it pivots about the chassis rail, then the drive gear could be withdrawn from the Low Ratio position and re-inserted in the High ratio position. The attachment of the cranking shaft to the drive gear seems too over-complex for a fixed alignment.
