Sorry JD, I had to run and maybe missed one of your questions SILLY ME, MY BAD. I been mowing today plus coating my RV roof......
There is indeed a time when the gennys case/frame would be earth grounded......
If its configured as a "seperately derived source" (like a utility transformer basically) its Neutral would be connected to a Grounding Electrode (driven into earth rod or rods perhaps just as Neutral on a utility transformer)
The NON FLOATING Neutral would also be bonded to the gennys case/frame (just like transformer can) thereby the gennys case/frame is also earth grounded ........
Again, if its NOT a seperately derived source (Floating Neutral, only requires 2 pole xfer switch etc) then the gennys case frame needs to be wired to the Equipment GroundING Conductor (Remember thats NOT the same as the into earth GroundING Electrode).
I think Glen and I would agree any existing service entrance GroundiNG Electrode (say a driven rod or rods) would suffice for a gensets GroundING Electrode if one were required...If the genset only serves plug and cord connected equipment from onboard receptacles, a GroundING Electrode isnt even required, however
There, this and my other and Glens post OUGHT TO HAVE YOU COVERED, but if not hey were here for ya

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
