Here are few quick measurements. I got to thinking about it and I kind of owe it to the guys at Xtreme not to give away all their secrets. I want to support our sponsors and the guys building parts for us cub guys.

I finally got to work on my hitch again. I read over the instructions several times and found there were many differences between the factory set up and Xtremes. A lot of pieces and steps are eliminated.First was setting up the backplate and the lift rod. This follows the factory directions
![]() Second is removing the clevis pin on the hydrolic lift. Again this follows the factory instructions just be aware the Xtreme includes a longer clevis to put back in. I had some difficulty cutting the cotter pin due to the lines being in the way ![]() Third I test fitted the back plate and lift arm and re-installed the factory adjustment rod. The adjust rod will hit the lift arms if it is turned a certain way. Once I was satisfied with the fit which is very tight I removed the 2 bolts in the lower rear end housing. This process followed the factory instruction but Xtreme has the straps built into the backing plate. Make sure you have a good catch pan as fluild will shoot out of the bolt holes but with a little planning you can make the install with minimal fluid loss.

Once the back plate was mounted I began final assembly on the lift. The only thing here is if you order the multi-configuration back plate Xtreme does not tell you which holes are factory default holes. This caused me to have to try several different mounting hole set up to get the correct travel for the lift.
![]() Initially I had plenty of up travel but 0% down travel. ![]() After a few adjustments I ended up with plenty of travel both up and down ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see in the pictures I scratched up the paint in several places. Also a note on that. The tolerances are so close I had to scrape paint and redrill some holes to get the pins to go through. The A frame top holes were slightly off probably from welding and I had to ream one side and then tap the pin through the first time.If it doesn't rain tomorrow I plan to do some testing then one final post on my experience with this install

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
