52 Super C snowplow

Evening everyone! I would like to put a snowplow on my 1952 Farmall Super C wide front. I know there are original ones out there. If anyone has one near [b:0306528f9b]Southern New Hampshire or mass[/b:0306528f9b], I'm interested. Either way if not possible how do I go about making one up. Doesen't seem to hard. what would some dimensions be if I made one. one bracket going to the frame next to rad and then one under battery I assume and then a chain or wire and pulley to lift? Maybe a junko Fisher plow? Westerns trip better though... Any input would be great. Sick of using my 1025r JD and having it break. If it ain't red, keep it in the shed right?
Thanks,
David :D
 
I tend to stick to the models with a frame rail like the H and M or bigger. So I would mount one on the front with 2 angles to pin the front blade on to with braces going back to the clutch housing or to the drawbar. My grandpa had one for an H he used 2 2x8's for the push bars then bolted a 2x14 to the front of them with an angle iron up the corner to fasten the front piece to the push pieces. He then put a piece of grader blade on the bottom of the cross plank for a scrubbing/cutting edge. the push pieces were at the bottom so it didn't split the edge off. Then he made a wood deal to lift it with on the front end. It bolted to the 2 holes for the brace rods of the cultivator and 2 angled verticals of 5/4 or so bolted to the side of the frame there was a board on the front that was bolted to the front bolt holes for the brace rods. angles used to fasten the verticals to the cross piece atop for the cylinder to pin to. then a chain from cylinder to cross blade piece to lift it with. I mounted a pickup blade to the front of an 806 for snow plowing works pretty good. hinge is right under the front axle appropriately adjusted for the height then 2 braces back to the clutch housing and a couple flat pieces for side bracing on the verticals for when truning. they weld to an angle across the top bolt holes then a piece was welded in the corner of the cross angle for the cylinder to pin on and a piece of chain from the original to lift it. I now have both lift ans angle as I go.
 
I had a narrow front and I ran the plow frame back to the rear axle. The blade was at least 7 feet long. I made a pulley system that mounted to the front of the tractor and used a cable that attached to the plow frame in front of the tractor and hooked to the touch control system lift arms. The touch control system wasn't very good at lifting the plow. Maybe that was due to my lack of engineering skills. For their size and weight, they can move quite a bit of snow.
With a wide front, using my design, the frame could go under the front axle because the lift system isn't going to be able to lift it high enough to contact the axle.
 
I've used this one since 1990, It's an IH plow but I never found the lift linkage so run it with chains, works ok but lifts herky
jerky to the hydraulic arms. I baby the thing because I never trusted the mounting system and would prefer not busting the tractor
in two. It has plowed a lot of snow up here at the top of Illinois.

Does it HAVE to be OEM? How about s truch mount type?Something with manual angle adjustment. Build a frame back to the brabar support,and 'hang' it from the front cultivator mount. Pivot infront of the wheels. use the touch control arm and a chain or
cable to raise.Shouldnt be that hard.I bought something like that for my sister to mount on her forklift.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. Seems simple. Would you be able to take some measurements and diameters? If not I understand. Dont feel obligated. Thanks,
David
