Any one fitted a ZF 12 M Transmission as a replacement to a Hurth HWB 10 R-2?

We've got a busted transmission and struggling to understand what will be ok to replace it with. We've heard the ZF 12 M will do it but aren't sure.

Has anyone got any experience doing this? How much jiggery was needed to fit it in?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers,

J

A year ago I was in the same spot. Research indicated the replacing the Hurth with a ZF would require altering the shaft and raising the engine on new beds. I decided to go with a rebuild of the Hurth. In the end it was the best course of action. The rebuild cost $1600.00 ( US) and the ZF was estimated to close to or over $5,000
