Basically yes. Mine is old old old and has a 8hp kohler engine.
I actually had searched tractorbynet back when I originally posted. Most of the pto splitters they have on there are made for larger 20hp and above tractors. I do know that you could run a pump like this:

I would love to find a generator too. many people talk about these sorts of attachments for old horse tillers including wood chipper, log splitter, generator. MTD now makes the horse and the word is they no longer make these accessories. If you know of another company that makes these type of pto driven products that would run off an 8hp tiller engine, PLEASE pass along a link.
And thanks to Phildo for the first response to my query.
