Good question. My H's front blade frame is basically a rectangle in front with supports that bolt to the length of the frame rails. I get the usual trip with a spring-loaded (manually-angled) blade catching on the occasional fist-sized rock (gravel driveway) but I haven't experienced any problems. I've heard reports of folks cracking the bellhousing and thus going to mounts that go back to the axles or drawbar but, so far (3 years), I've been fine with this setup.

Unless you're really in a hurry, you don't need down-pressure to lower your blade - it'll come down under its own weight. Depending on the width and weight of your blade, I would suggest you use as thin a lift cylinder as possible with 1/2" hoses. With my 7' blade I use a 2" cylinder.

Unless you're an experienced welder, I'd just look for a good used version of both frame and blade - you'll save a lot of time.

Where are you located? Maybe someone nearby has what you need.
