Yes, got it off CL for $80 and rebuilt it this year. Used it last year as is. Here is a link to the steps and cost associated with the rebuild.

Thanks for the link. I thought it looked familiar. I have one that I bought new back in 81 or 82. I used it on my Toyota Landcruiser to plow my parent's driveway. You see, I had to shovel it by hand from the time I was about 8 into my 20's and it was quite long.
After high school I had several jobs while living at home and paying my way through college. Since I had some extra cash, I bought the plow to make some side money and get my home chores done faster. I still remember the feeling I got the first time I used it and had the driveway done in two passes. 5 minutes with the plow VS an hour with a shovel. Zip zip and done!
After I moved out, my dad bought a snow blower. I asked him why he waited so long to get the snowblower and why he didn't get one sooner. He said he had one... his son!
I still have the plow and all the mounts, lift, wiring harness, etc... although it has just been sitting on my property since the mid 90's. Not sure what I'll do with it. We don't get nearly the snow amounts now that we did back then.
My current tractor has a quick attach built on to the FEL arms. The plow that I bought with it mounts to the quick attach. I think it only sticks out maybe one foot past the quick attach plate. Also it has gauge wheels. There is no way for it to tip back far enough for anything but the wheels to touch the ground. Looking at your use of the existing plow mounts and cylinders, I can now see why you might want feet or wheels near the rear of the mount to prevent it from hitting the plowed surface.
Here's a ink to a video of my plow tilting all the way forward and backwards. You can see how none of the quick attach can hit the ground.
And here's another of the power angle. They accomplish angle with one double action cylinder behind the plow parallel to the plow face, not the two single action cylinders that the pickup truck type plows use.
Here's a closer look at that cylinder.
One thing it doesn't have is a trip over mechanism like yours. So, when I hit an immovable object, the plow doesn't trip over. It stops the tractor and that can cause damage. Although, the tractor is so light all it has ever done so far is cause a jolt to the operator.
