Hello, I am putting a 153 stock MTX skid into a XTX for when I go out west. I think the front mounting bolts are the same distance and location on both sleds and just the rear drop brackets are set back, but would like to confirm this before I make some drop brackets. Don't know anyone around this part of the country that has a MTX sled to measure. Could I get someone to measure the distance from the drive axle to the front mounting shaft and also how far down from the top of the tunnel to the mounting bolt. Also if I could get a distance between the front and rear mounting bolts too. Also how far down from the top of the tunnel to the bolt in the drop bracket. Thanks in advance.
 
front holes are NOT the same on the mtx and xtx, I would also like this measurement. I do plan to look at a mtx tomorrow to try to get it, but not sure I will be able to measure from driveshaft easily as track is in the machine, so most likely will be from the bulkhead. will post if I can get you something worthwhile.

If someone else knows this measurment from drive axle and top of tunnel i would love it also.
 
Lets hope someone can help us out with our projects. Would appreciate any info you can get.
 
31 3/8 inches from front holes to centre of drops just installed cr drop brackets last night.
 
Thanks for the distance between the bolts, but does anyone know the measurement from the drive axle to the first bolt or to the shaft that attaches the skid. Need to know where that is, to know where to start. Thanks
 
Still looking for the measurement from the drive axle to the front hole and distance from the top of the tunnel to the front hole. Would appreciate it if someone could help us out. Thanks again, Dan
 
Center of drive shaft to center of front shaft= 11.5" Center of front shaft to top of tunnel= 10.75"

The last measurement is questionable to it's accuracy as my track is in, I just measured through track window. It will get you close. On my tunnel it has two holes factory cut for what looks like mounting holes for an XTX skid and RTX skid. I am assuming they do this as all the tunnels are now all the same?? I will try to post a pic tomorrow for you.
