Norm,This would almost be impossible. You would need a minimum of a 5 inch pully on the generator not to have the belts stressed so badly that they would wear out quickly. You would then need a 33.5" pully to mount to the drive shaft to connect the 540 pto. The only other way would be to have a series of shafts to step it up over several sets of pullies. Then there is the issue that most motor driven gen sets don't have a bearing , or a large enough bearing to support the tension you need with V belts. I just set one up, but my PTO is capable of running at 2000 RPM. No, it is not a compact, but just as powerful. Used timing belts instead of V belts. Less strain on bearings and less HP loss. Northern has a 10,000 watt unit which was good for me. You really need a 1800 RPM unit.Good LuckBill
