I have to assume that yours is a modern type gen set with circuit breakers. We use a 4500 Onan for the same thing with a 225 Lincoln welder. Use small rod at 75 or 90amp.You might have trouble starting the arc with some rod as the gen voltage will drop until the governor can respond. (This is why you need a diesel gen for spot welders.) If the breaker trips, give it a minute to cool off then reset it and try shorter welds. The welder has a Duty Cycle and is not meant for continuous welding but the Lincolns always used to be built like a tank (20years ago).
If you are using it around a tractor do not connect the ground clamp to any part of the tractor, especially the FEL but go directly to your work.If you are welding a part of the FEL make sure that your ground clamp goes onto the section you are welding, with no pins,cylinders etc between the stinger and the ground clamp.
