My BIL has a potential project. I'd like to find a QA frame similar to the one I bought several years ago to fab a set of brush forks. All I recall is it was a FB or CL listing and the seller was somewhere in York County PA. He said he bought several and was selling a couple that were left over from whatever he was making. The frame is made of very heavy square tube. I can find all sorts of plain plates, plates with receivers, etc. but nothing like the one I bought.

There are a few pics below, but they were all taken following fab work. The frame was just a bare rectangle with the QA lip at the top and slots at the bottom on the tractor side. The slotted angle at the top, sockets for bale spears, vertical 4" channel stiffeners were not part of the original frame.

wow, that's super simple to make, any 'fab shop / welder' can easily make.
Looks like 2" tubing ??
too bad Spring hasn't really,truly arrived here in southern Ontario, it'd be a nice project.

My suggestion, like the comment above, any good fab shop can build that, but here is a good starting foundation. A Quick Tach Frame from Titan of your choice, that has the dimensions to start with, Then , the fab shop can build off that for what you want.
This is what I'm doing with this Titan frame, to custom build a gas powered front mount snow blower, I saved from my old Ford 1910 I'm replacing with a used B2650 on the way.

Thank you. I could fab it here. The main reason I was looking for a frame is that I already have too many projects in the works. The "doo-dads" he wants on the frame are minor.

The Titan universal Quick Tach plates I posted. I just purchased one, I will be welding to the back of this Ford 2 Stage snow blower, I put a 20 hp. Honda on years ago, with a chain drive on the PTO input. It was a rear 3 Point mount. 1 st. winter blowing sno backwards with a stickshift and no cab.......Nope..... Will be going on my nre to me B2650HSDC soon.

You'll probably find it's cheaper,faster,easier to make the frame from one piece of steel instead of several sections of tubing. That's why you see so many 'sheet plates' and not 'ladders'.
