Attaching tiller without rear oil leaking
So I am looking to hook up my tiller, which I have to take the rear hitch to do so right?
It seems to me that when I unbolt the hitch it will begin leaking oil until I reattach the bolt cover plates. Is there a better way to do this that I'm just not seeing?

What I did once was to back the tractor up on the ramp of a trailer so that I had it on a steep incline. Secure the tires to prevent rolling and unfasten just the bottom bolts of the rear cover that you need to in order to attach your angle gearbox.

I wonder if anyone has tried putting studs in where the bolts for the gearbox go with a nut to hold the back plate on then slip the gearbox bracket over that stud and put a nut and lock washer on that. It would move it back the thickness of the nut but don't think it should matter not sure.

Your bolts are too short. You need to buy the longer bolts for use with the tiller gearbox. Plate: You need 3/8-16 X 1-1/4 bolts.
 Always leave the Rear Middle Bolt In Place on the Trans Cover Plate

And remember, the hitch does bolt right on to the tiller bracket it’s just upside down. Believe me before I would go to this much trouble back and forth I would bolt it on either upside down or redrill the bracket the other way if it’s an issue for height and leave it that way year round. Good luck

This manual may help, but the OP does not say what model. Looks like the tow hitch mounts the correct orientation.

Of course the PO has this wrong. LOL.
I plan on beefing it up this summer (if needed, going to the axle tube bolts like the xtreme sleeve hitch mount) and mounting the tiller on this machine permanently.

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.
