Here's how I did it Padmakar.
The engine blew up on one of our gen sets.
I put the gen set on a steel skid and installed a 3 point hook up to the front side of the gen for stability when in use.
I built and adapter and put a 3 speed straight shift Chevy transmission attached to the gen set with the input shaft of tranny to the gen set.On the output shaft of the tranny I built a pto shaft to the tractor. In other words the tranny is put in the pto shaft with input shaft as the output shaft now.
If you put tranny in highest gear it is a direct rpms from tractor to gen set. If you want the gen set to spin faster just shift the tranny to a lower gear and the gen set gains rpm's.
I use this set up to run irrigation pumps and have had no trouble at all with it. The 26hp tractor will turn the gen set very good at 1000 engine rpm's and with the pto Chevy tranny in 2nd gear.
I used old tranny and pto shaft parts from salvage here at the farm and it actually cost only some time and labor, plus a little welding and ridicule, but it works very good.
