/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Is it possible to spin multiple pulley/rope lines from a single motor? I'd like to have multiple overhead rope lines (eg a clothesline) all being moved from a single source. I am not mechanically inclined to know how what is needed to go from that initial motor/pulley to the rest of the lines. Please advise.

Also, is tractor hardware a good store to get pulleys from? I stopped at my HD and there wasnt much in the way of rope and pulleys and I didnt see any sort of motor either.
