No measurements, but here is a manual to help get you started.

Do you want the blade that mounts to the mid Tachmatic Pulled) as in Gary's posting or the style that uses a hitch on the rear axle (like snow plows use) pushed.

 

Either way I am not a fan of mid mount blades on hydros.  I had it on a a hydro and took it off went with a manual lift,  it is much easier to do fine work with the manual as you can feel and make instant adjustments to down pressure.  With a hydro it was much harder for me to get a nice finished job.

Here are a few pictures of my mid-mount blade. If there is something in particular you'd like to see let me know.

Same thing with the front blade!  For fine finish work you can't beat the feel a manual lift gives you!

My AC has a heavy mid-mount grader. I often push the grader down with foot / leg power! Nice attachment, the blade is 1/2" thick!

The B-10 I upped to a 16hp. The B-10 is now on four ag donuts. The blue deck in the image is my Pennsylvania Panzer.

 

I have a spare 42" dozer blade, complete, that I don't use. Thinking of cutting the frame and blade, fab a mid-mount?

But then, the snow blade is only 16 (maybe 14) gauge CRS. Not beefy enough.

 

Think the mid-mount is best. Leg 'push' power is good.

I had both types and sold the one that attaches to the rear axle because it tended to dig in too much. The mid mount is best for controlling your cut and I do not use a solid link when it is on a hydro, a chain will keep it from digging in. A landscape rake behind helps to finish the job (mine is home made).

Chris Sutton and I made one each. See his thread. July 19th 2015. There's a video of them in use.

I have a mid-mount grader for my WH Model 1-7235 Charge Electro 12. If you will tell me what measurements you are looking for, I will drag the thing out of my shop loft, take measurements and send you some pictures.
