Filter Hurth V Drive 630 V Albin 28

[Froggy]

Does anyone know where to source a transmission filter for a Hurth 630 V Drive? I ordered an received one from Hale Marine that is supposed to fit a 630 drive but the hole on one end is too small and, of course, l threw out the old filter.

Make them send you a replacement.
When I had a Hurth (10 years ago) there was a dealer in Bridgeport,Ct where I got my filter. Don't recall the name of the place.

I believe Hale sells an aftermarket which is not an exact replacement but should fit, small hole up?

Here's one, just call to make sure it's OEM

Hi Rob,

Small hole won't fit over the o-ring on the screw down cap. Large hole is fine but then small hole won't fit over the grommet at bottom. Strange. I'm going to give Hale a call.

I was an idiot for heaving the old filter but I guess I've done dumber things.

As a follow-up to the filter story, I spoke with CHris at Hale who said that the filter they carry " ZF number 3312199031 Fits HSW 450-630-800 Filter Kit also Fits ZF63-85 Transmissions 463-772" has been unchanged since 1986 and is the OEM part. I thus went back to Froggy and, following his advice, tried to tap the filter assembly down with a rubber mallet. No luck. The top stills ticks up.

For yuks, I ordered the MMD-463772 kit from Marysville Marine Distributors and when it came, it turns out that the holes on each end are the same. THis contrasts with the ZF one where the holes are two different sizes.

Thus, even though they are the same fitment reference, the parts are different and the one from Marysville is actually the correct one for the 92 ZF 630V in Froggy.

Anyone know the fluid capacity of the 630v when you change the fluid? After I emptied mine it only took less than 2 1/2 qts? Is this normal? Anyone know where you get a operating for these transmissions? Thanks so much.

Groggy, Thanks so much the link to the Hurth 630 V transmission PDF manual. I search Google for 2 days trying to find one, no luck! Like it has been said many times this Aog website is invaluable! This link should be added to the tech tab on this site.
Thxs, Fred
Ps I did everything wrong!
