Hello, I have a TC30 and recently purchased a Ford New Holland 702C plow. I found an old thread where someone had success mounting this blade to a tc30. But I think I have different brackets. If anyone has any input I'd greatly appreciate it. Pic shows the mounts i have
I do not know whether your parts are correct, but to find out quickly, the front frame piece in your photo is obviously the under mount frame. The 2 arms pointing up on the left in your photo attach to your tractors frame immediately behind the front bumper. You will see where the 2 holes on your undermount frame arms (shown with the bolts loosely inserted) will line up with 2 holes on each side of the tractor frame (if you have a loader or belly mower, there will be brackets already using these holes that need to removed). Start by inserting 1 bolt on each side. Next step is the unknown to me, try lifting or jacking up the rear of the undermount frame and see if the holes in that rear cross member line up with something on your tractor. I am going to guess that if you have a belly mower that something may already be using these too. Once that is secure, finish bolting the front
If all is still going good, the small T shaped bracket looks to attach to the tractors front bumper and that is where the blade's lift cylinder will attach.
Hope this helps

Some added info from what I said above,,,
My NH service manual for my 715B snowblower includes a section for the 702C front blade. My manual is a late 90's version and covers these attachments for the 20 series compact tractors (1320, 1520, etc). The TC30 would be the same as a 1520 as far as my manual is concerned. In looking at my manual, it appears that the rear frame (what I called the undermount section above) section that you have is different (similar but different) from what is used on the 1520 in that time period. The position of the front mounting brackets looks slightly different, maybe a little further our front, and the rear mounting is different. The 1520 shows the rear attaching to the side where the main loader brackets attach.
Looks like you might have some modifications to make to the rear frame to make it fit. Just an additional thought, if you have a loader and or a belly mower, in order to avoid having to remove the heavy brackets that are attached to middle of the tractor, I would extend the undermount frame to the rear of the tractor and attach it in the same way as my front snowblower is attached in the rear. The blower has bracket that is attached underneath the rear hitch drawbar. The undermount frame attaches to that bracket with one pin

So I laid it under my tractor and it is incorrect parts. The brackets do not line up properly. The two arms point up that mount on either side of the frame are too wide. And the piece that mountd under the tractor does not line up either. I should of done better research on mounting brackets before purchasing.
Those first two first are alot help, I will see what I can do with the brackets I have or modify/fabricate
Nothing fits, shame on me for not doing better research. Is what it is
