I purchased a 7' wide snow plow for super cheap. I have welded it to a Mount Plate I purchased from Titan and am working on mounting a couple of hydraulic cylinders for left/right rotation. What I am looking for is a source for a new cutting edge. It is 84" long with bolt holes at 3, 16, 29, 42, 55, 68, and 81 inches along the face. Any hints on where I can buy one?

If you know the brand of the plow that you purchased, then look for a dealer that sells that brand, and buy a cutting edge from them. Before you even go looking for a replacement cutting edge, check to see if the edge that you presently have can be turned over and have a fresh edge. Some brands of plows you can do that, and others are made that is not possible. If you just can't seem to find one, then look for a steel supplier that has the ability to punch holes in the steel that you purchase from him.
You can also get a double acting piston, so you will only need one to turn the blade in either direction. This is how the Kubota blades are made, using a single 5" long 2" diameter cylinder.

It is old and rusted. No clue as to the manufacturer. Could be homemade even. Turning it over is a good idea. Maybe I will have to make my own.

So you have a curved cutting edge? Can you post a picture? Does this do a good job on concrete/asphalt?
It would be easy to see if it were home made, however, there were many, many snow plow brands in the last 50 years. I used to be in the truck equipment business, and we sold everything from Valk to Mid Equipment and Fischer. If you post a picture of the back of the blade I might recognize it from long ago. 7 holes on the cutting edge isn't that common, usually a 7' blade has 6 holes. One give away of a homemade blade is that rarely would it have square holes holding the cutting edge on. You will usually need a strong breaker bar to loosen the plow bolts. I suggest spraying them with Deep Creep for a day before you try to remove them. Also wire brush to get any rust off of them. At $3.50 / $4.00 apiece, it is worth trying to save them.
I won't be home in the daylight until tomorrow. I'll get a picture and post it then.
