naa frontend snow plow

I'm wanting to mount a front end snow plow (probably 6 ft Meyers)on my NAA. Finding an old Dearborn or Arps attachment is not the easiest thing in the world and I'm not a great welder, but can get by. Anyone know of plans or something relatively simple that I can do?
 
I don't have any plans or drawings, but my 2N has a home built front plow.
The rails are 2 x 3 tubing with the cross members mounted to the front
bolster and under the rear end where a drawbar attachment would mount.
I think the rear probably could have went to the fender mounts on the axles
like many of the loaders go as well.
This one runs off the 3 pt, but the frame would work for an electric, etc.
If you don't find anything else I can take some measurements and pics for you.

The frame for attaching a small Myers plow should be pretty much trivial to fabricate. Are you looking for hydraulic lift and power angle? That would be highly desirable IMO and probably easier to fabricate than a Dearborn style cable lift.

Thanks. Electric hydraulic lift and power angle is the way I'd like to go. As for being trivial to fabricate - that's another story. I can see having a frame that goes to the back of the tractor, but connecting to the front axle seems to require some handiwork. I'd like to keep the plow relatively close to the front end.

There a person on the other Board that made one. I
could give him your name if you are interested. I'm
sure he would be glad to share.
 
Thanks. Also appreciate the pic. This is probably the route I'll go if someone doesn't have a better idea. I would imagine there are a number of folks that would like to do this if someone had a reasonabale way to construct a frame for mounting the plow. Electric hydraulic should simplify this - just seems a bit tricky to securely attach a frame to the front.

Thanks for all the help. Kirk's pic of the front frame is really good. Much appreciated. "H Cook" - if you could give the fellow on the other board my name, that would be great. I'm guessing he can just transfer over to me. Thank you.

I'll second TOH about not having anything pushing on that front axle.
They're not designed to handle that kind of directional force.
Not to mention the front axle swivels on a center pin so the tires can move
up and down on the sides. Anything mounted to it would also pivot.
The bracket he pictured is similar to my front mount on my 2N.
Mine just bolts on with the bolster. No real magic.
Front mount basically holds it up and it pushes from the rear mount.

Here is how I fit a front blade to my TO30 Fergy. The framework hangs from the front and all the pushing force is to the rear drawbar mount. Cylinder is mounted to a removable mount so as to allow for the hood to be opened.

Afraid that NW Iowa may be a stretch for me. I'm in the central part of New York State. Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the great help. This is a really good forum for someone like me. Much appreciated.

I'm just outside of Baltimore if you're interested in something MTO. Good bit closer than Iowa ;-)

Nice offer -and quite a bit closer. Thanks. Let me look around a bit and see what I can come up with locally. If I run into a snag I'll get back in touch.
