Hi Rocky,
Thanks for the comment and photos.
I have come to basically the same conclusion and am attaching a sketch of what I plan to refine in the shop. I am a little careless when I sketch on my 2D CAD program and don't pay a lot of attention to layers, etc. It is basically what you have done with the chain, but it will be hinged about 17" from the blade instead of the full (27 to 31") inches. I don't know if that 10" will make a difference, and I don't plan to go into snow plow making as a profession and find out. If others have tried both, I would be most interested in their comments.
My Q/A plate just arrived today. Gosh, I love UPS -- all the way from MN and a day early. And for others, once I have it together and tried, I will post the design with dimensions.
