I have one here that is 2.059 wide x .697 high.  I have a tongue for it that fits nicely that is 2.001 x .615.  

 

I'd like to see a pic of it when you're done if possible.   :)

Very nice.

I made one of these a month or so ago, and I made it too short.....Doesn't stick out far enough for the cable connection on the slot hitch to clear the 5/8" bolt that stabizes the plow. Otherwise mine looks like yours (only shorter)!

I thought about making mine shorter. This is my lifting mechanism. ..

I wouldn't go shorter...that's about right.  I'm thinking  the factory one is 12".  I'd have to measure to tell you for sure.  I think there's a post with that info somewhere.

 

By the way... you're picture shows it in the hitch upside down. It should be mounted flat side up, with bracing underneath.

Ha. Thanks good to know..box blade will be here in a week.

Also dont go by my 10" length if planning one for yourself I just guessed from pictures. Will be using a winch to lift mine so I wasnt to worried about clearance.

Are you sure about this?

I thought I have seen them on tractors mounted just like we see in his photo.....Maybe they were wrong too!

Yes I'm sure. You probably have. But by the instructions it goes this way.

Well, in that case, mine isn't too long  I mean short!

One of the bolts to tighten up the plow was hitting on the cast part where the cable lift is attached.

Thanks for setting me straight!

Glad to help.... and yeah. I assume it goes that way to eliminate interference with the sway plate bolts.
