If you own all that and know how to use it, and know all this stuff, then why did you start a thread asking if anyone here has done it? Sounds like you are looking for advice?
Quit asking, build it and show us how smart and good you are.

You can cut threads on any lathe. I have a small Atlas. Doesn't even have quick change gears, and it will cut threads. That's not impressive. Having a taper attachment and knowing how to use it, is more impressive. Let's see you go cut the shaft and build the support. Quit posting and go work!!!

I can't believe you didn't know that gen sets use a tapered shaft. Good luck getting the motor off. They're usually stuck pretty good.
