Assuming the repair was correct and remains good there is a slim chance it might be the gear reduction box.
The shaft is spinning when you disconnect it with no load or pressure from bends in the cable. Have you squeezed the end of the rotating shaft to see if with some load pressure the shaft continues to turn? It might be that the gears or the bearings in the rear reduction box on the back of the generator are worn and causing slippage. It the bearing hole is enlarged it would allow the gears to offset enough to disengage under load.
Have you removed the gear reduction box, opened it and inspected the bearings and gears and cleaned and re-lubricated it?
