First off...
Here's a few pictures & dimensions that I took off my Dad's 100 when he gave me his blade. He had the true IH part on his tractor but was unwilling to let me take that with the blade. The bracket that attaches to the tractor's lift handle is from 2" x 1/4" flat stock and the rod is 1/2" round stock. The U-bolt is just a 1/4" that was just wide enough to fit around my lift handle stem that I got at the hardware store - nothing fancy.
Lift rod: 34 -1/4" long center to center after being bent. I assume the rod was about 2" longer prior to being bent. I'd like it to be about an inch or two shorter to carry the blade a bit higher during transport if I ever made a new lift rod.
Lift handle plate: 9.375" long. With the bottom edge being zero, the holes are as follows with all being centered on the 2" width of the flat stock:
Lift handle pivot bar = 1" O.C., 0.75" dia.
Lower lift rod hole = 5.125" O.C., 0.5" dia.
Upper lift rod hole = 7.5" O.C., 0.5" dia.
I made the little piece at the top to fit the U-bolt and keep the section with the holes almost plumb so I don't have any good measurements for that. The full bracket was made of two pieces welded together.
