snow plow A frame

So I picked up a snow plow from a neighbor to rig up with a quick tach to put on the new tractor. The price was right on the plow, but it's missing a few things. No A frame or cylinders. So I am going to try to fab one up.

Now, I am about as handy with a welder as pocket is to a shirt - if the pocket has a hole in it! But, I want to learn so I am going to give this a try. I have some 1.25" pipe that I thought I could use. Figured that with a couple of pieces of flat steel and maybe an implement cylinder could get me a decent plow for no more money than the cost of a quick tach plate.

Any ideas on the dimensions of the A frame? Mainly looking for the length as the width can be whatever I want it to be.

Oh, and for those who remember my question about the value of an Oliver 1655...my dad made the deal last week to trade it in for a NH TD5050. So far, we're pretty darn happy with the new tractor. And that will be the plowing tractor when I get this plow rigged up.

Thanks,
Jake
 
Jake,
Not sure if this is much help. Picked up a Meyer blade for scrap. Cylinders were junk. Torched off a few brackets, then welded up a couple of supports to slide over/under the bucket. Chain it down and go. I didn't care if it pivoted at that time.
Now I have a quickattach on this tractor and may add a cylinder out there as soon as I get the hydraulics finished.

You can still push a lot of snow with the blade straight.

Your idea sounds ok, a QA plate is around $150. But if you are going to make it swivel you will still need a little frame in front of it. I assume the new tractor already has a QA on the loader.

Heres mine, on and of in seconds I can push and back drag,works great for what I need. I use the bucket for fire wood each week so I wanted it to come off and on fast with little work.
