7' front blade to identify

Pulled this blade out of the weeds behind our barn. I can only assume that it's for the front of a tractor and somehow hooks up underneath towards the back but then has cables that maybe go back to the 3 pt hitch to move it up and down?

Can anyone tell me about it? What it's called? What it would have gone on, if it looks complete? On the one pulley you can make out "mechanical" we think.

It's a 7' wide blade, back of frame to top of blade is about 8' long and inside the frame all the way at the back is about 17". I'm looking to post it for sale so if you have any thoughts on pricing, that'd be welcomed too!

thanks!

This is a wild guess, but the brackets at the rear look like something that would fit the rock shaft
on a 2 cylinder JD.
 
(quoted from post at 18:28:09 08/30/21) This is a wild guess, but the brackets at the rear look like something that would fit the rock shaft
on a 2 cylinder JD.

which could very well be given the old tractors used on the farm from what I was told were JDs (my dad wanted a B in his retirement to tinker with since that's what he had on the farm but got a 420 instead). So let's assume the B was here and this was used on it, could that have worked? Would one leave the rockshaft lifters with the implement vs keeping them on the tractor?
 

Found this on youtube and now it makes sense!! Those definitely would be the brackets for the rockshaft

Confirmed via a JD facebook page this blade would have fit an A, B or G with those rockshaft pieces. It's an aftermarket blade.
