The old welder/generator I picked up today doesn't look too bad if you sort of
squint at it and ignore the gas engine, which is missing a lot of parts. I may
get lucky and find a parts source, but right now I'm wondering if it might be
possible to just go find another motor with similar specs and just patch it in.
Anyone done this?

If it is direct connected the interface is not standardized. The only thing
likely to fit would be another motor from the same model machine. The engine
crankshaft is likely to have a taper fitting for the rotor. Don't overlook
the need for a suitable governor.
Of course, all of that would be a plus factor for a machinist looking for a
project. (BG)

Parts for many of the old engines are fairly common if you can reuse old
ones. Have you determined exactly what kind of engine it is (was)?

Pretty sure it's Briggs & Stratton so far, don't know which exact one yet.

from the original engine and reuse in order to get the correct taper.
