My cooler motor is about 6' above the ground - need a small ladder to get

There are some very ingenious people here.

How can I do this alone? If I hire someone it costs more for labor than
the notor.

Maybe something I could put very close to the installed motor and the
ladder at about 6' so that I can place the old motor on it and remove the
new motor for installation without trying to carry it up and down a
ladder and juggle it to remove and install.

I think the flat steps on a second step ladder would be too narrow to
hold a motor securely.

I suspect a hoist of some kind is not practical.

Any ideas?

Don't know. If the motor is bad, I'D likely just toss it on the
ground once removed. Put the new one on the ladder ready to be
installed?
