Help Identifying Plow!

Looks like an old western, need pictures of the back and mount.

Looks to me like an old western, with a home made mount. Mount does not look very sturdy.

That mount don't look right.
The cylinder part is bolted to the lower A-frame.

What was this Frankenstein on?

x2. What are you mounting it on? someone did a bunch of cutting and welding on this at some point to make it fit their application. You’ll likely need to do the same. If you can weld and fabricate it can be simple but if you have to hire someone it could get expensive quick. Add in having to buy a pump, controller, other parts, you may be less money buying a unit that hasn’t been molested. You can usually buy older straight blades for less than 1k that come with controllers, pump/motor, sometimes even the right mount. Just something for you to consider

Yes

At least he didn't use the words "great deal"

This is the heart of making this operational.
Without having to piece it all together with factory parts.
You will need to fab mounts for your truck, or find them on line.
Storks would be a good place to start for that.
If for nothing else to get the part #'s for the pieces,so you know what you're looking for on Ebay or Amazon, etc.

It looks like maybe someone had it on a tractor.

Appears to be the front half of a Western conventional with a ho made mount.

think it might be an arctic blade, springs are angled not straight.turntable is angle iron not square tube and there is orange paint showing on the cylinders and the blade as well.

now is the time to buy used plow setups! might be easier and better to shop for something to bolt up to your truck and scrap that to help pay for it!!!
