Can anyone tell me what this plow is for

I got this when I bought my wheel horse 520h,the guy said it was for the tractor ,But I told him it is not for
a wheel horse because it was not long enough to hook to the back axle bracket, and the lift would not
work. I couldn't  not take it since I was getting it for free. Maybe some one would recognize it .
it is very heavy made, might be able to add to it so it would work on a wheel horse with a little welding
or sell it to some one for the right type tractor . it had a bar attached with a bolt on
the back about 2 feet long you can see a little of it on side photo .

Looks like it could be a home made mount to fit  a front attach-a-matic with a  snowblower  style push/lift bar .

I think I recently saw something real similar and pretty sure it was a Bolens.  Not like any WH I've seen.

The MAY be from a dinosaur Sears model ST-12 or ST-10 or the like. They were made heavy like this.

I think I found it after searching all over  the internet.  it is a Simplicity 1690089 - 46" Snow Plow & Dozer Blade Hitch.
but I think  ekennell is right some one tried to modify it for a wheel horse or something they welded it very good.
it has the same type handle to unlock the latch to turn the blade. thank you all

Bob I think you found it.  Well, at least what it was and at least who made the blade.  Still don't know what it would fit but it sure won't fit a Simplicity anymore.  
Here the Bolens picture I was thinking about.  Similar but not it.

I wonder what it fits now?  
And how did you find the Simplicity pdf?

Dennis I went looking on google for plow pictures and found one that looked close to it and from there I found this number
  Allis Chalmers Snow Plow/Dozer/Grader Blades 1690089 - 46" Snow Plow & Dozer Blade Hitch.so I googled
this number and it says it is a Simplicity 1690089 - 46" Snow Plow & Dozer Blade. I even found a manual for it
but I am attaching a pdf file and you can see it is the one. the picture you have is just like the piece in
picture 2 that is on this plow. a pipe bolted to the back on mine it is square but about the same Length

Bob, all three of your attachments are the same.

So what it was used on is still a mystery?

OK GUYS
I just had to find out if this plow fit. like the guy I bought it from said the old man used it for plowing with the
520h I bought from him  .well it did hook up to the front attach-o- matic  just like ekennell said it looked like. added the
bar that came with it and it lifts and lowers perfectly ,and I thought he was a nut. boy do I feel like
the dummy.  just thought you would like to know...it will not go in last notch's it hits tire , it can only use center and 1 notch left and right 
or 3 notch's. but it is angled enough with that. I kinda like it this way all the push is on the front of the frame
and not on the axle and plate. what do you guys think ??

I like it.  Looks like it has excellent leverage for easy lifting.   A couple things I may be concerned about is the additional stress placed on the trans axle mounting plate, although They are very easy to beef up with backing plates.
The other is with the high attachment point, the front wheels may tend to lift and the push / lift rod will see a lot of force when pushing hard or if you hit a solid object.   I can't be sure, but it looks like the mount frame will hit the axle before it hits the tie  rods.

Ekennell
This 520h has the axle plate reinforced with a 1/4 in plate
From the factory .i don't think it will hurt it there.time will tell.i don't think I will have to use it with the c160 that i just finished.
