I have a cub cadet 1250 and I have a snow plow for it, but I don’t know how to put it on. Does anybody have any pictures or videos on how to put it on?

No pics or videos but there is a guide in the CC manuals thread. I'll try to attach it here. It seems to be on the basis of the blade not yet being assembled and I assume yours is already all together. It should still help you see enough info to be able to attach the subframe arms to the rod between the foot treads, and snap the quick attach latch clips in place.

That looks like a narrow frame blade mounting sub frame. Do you have pictures of the rest of it.
wide frame top, narrow frame on the bottom

Is there a way it would work with a wide frame
Nope, not without mods that would be a PITA.

Would the NF blade still work with a WF mounting bracket
Yes, only the mounts are different.
The frame you need is posted in the first picture that Lew posted, the one with the upturned crooked forks.
Find yourself one of those and you will be in business.
If you weren't so darn far away, I would make you one!

Well, couple other things could be an issue when you try to use it.
If it's a narrow frame blade then the lift rod will be about 30" long (center to center of the L-shaped ends) and your 1250 will need a 28" rod.
Also the bracket on the A frame of the blade, that the rod connects to, will need to be bent down a little or it will hit the side of your lower grill housing.

Yes, you can use a wide frame lift rod (28") and bend the lift rod bracket on the NF blade.
The only difference between a NF and WF blade is the lift bracket and most people don't even mention that because it can still be used. Sometimes it doesn't actually rub the side of the lower grill housing but it's certainly really close if it doesn't hit it.
The NF and the WF calls for different lift arms (proper nomenclature)
NF IH-473924-r1 (short)
WF IH-548590-r1 (long & under serial #665,000)
Those arms are made from 3/8" mat'l and are quite hefty.
