Well, I thought about mounting it on the other side, but due to clearance issues with the clutch pedal, I decided to go to this side. Also, if I mount it to the other side with the pulley facing forward, I wont be able to access the outlet. Likewise, if I turned the generator around on the other side I still will have to cross a belt. I may not go with a segmented belt because I dont think they make them narrow enough for that small pulley on the bottom side. I plan on messing with it a little tonight and trying it out. Just need to find a belt that is a close size for testing and see if all this work will make a bulb light up in the end...

Here's a little update on this project...
I measured the pulleys and determined that I would need a 3/8 x 37 inch belt. Ordered a 37 inch and it worked but kept the generator too close to the tractor. Ordered another belt that was 39 inches and it worked great. Here is the finished product:

All pulleys are aligned and run true. I tightened up the belt and started the 86 up. We have success! I'm using a trouble light with a 75 watt bulb. It made it a lot easier to read the charge gauge on the tractor.

I have not run it very long, but in the short time that I have it seems like the belt will be okay and should not rub itself very hard. My temporary method of disconnecting the generator will be to remove the pulley on the generator, since it is only connected with a set screw to the shaft. The whole works can be removed; there were no permanent modifications to the tractor. I ended up taking off the PTO engagement rod to insure I would not pull the handle back and wear out the fiber button.
Overall, a fun project. This project (and the rear mounted 59M chipper) were a blast to do. Now, what will be next??

Very cool setup. My immediate thought was to clutch the generator much like a mower deck is often clutched, with a spring-tensioned pulley. Thus the power is only available if "switched on" by the belt's tension. Of course, such a rigging would require mounting either a manual control at 90 degrees to the tractor's centerline, or implementing some kind of cam or link operated mechanism which would be outside the scope of the present project, as i understand it.
Regarding the segmented belt solution, I've run across segmented belts attached to washing machines, and they aren't very wide (of course the belt I'm thinking of didn't work very well either --the use of the segmented belt was not original to the design of the washing machine). The segmented belts can also be expensive, from what I hear. At any rate, if employed, it would serve the same purpose: enabling or disabling the generator as needed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
