Thanks JD, Long post or not, I really appreciate your input.Definately give me ALOT to think of.We do have the 706 gas with a PTO(both 540 and 1000rpm),but that is the only equipment we have with a PTO.The OC 46 doesn't have one on it,could probablly add one on,but that would be more $$. We were thinking of a LP or propane unit, as diesel or gasoline would probably go bad if we stored it for using for the generator only,a PTO gen. for the tractor would also work as we could get gasoline for it when needed.But about the older detroit diesel 13-20kw, how hard is(if you know) to get replacement parts,such as the electrical parts for generator? Do you have to run them every so often to keep things from locking up and corroding? As for LP or propane units,As I said, just now looking into them, the Generac air cooled units(in Northern tool catalog) are there problems with burning out the engines without having it be water cooled? Are all generators now a brushless design, or do you have to have a couple of sets on hand for spares? I thank you again for ALL the info you have given us to think about. Warmest reguards, LOU

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
