I would create my own boss to the same size as a machine that had one,
this includes the vertical ridge that ensures that it does not rotate.
Then I'd drill and tap the boss to accept the single mounting screw.
The hole in the Machine is not need to be tapped and should be slightly over sized.

Mound and secure the boss then attach the handcrank as usual, viola!
