Merecedes 617->603 swap

Im keeping my eyes open for a om603 and related transmission to replace my boring (but loyal) 617



I foresee the following problems:


1. Transmission wont mount to the underbody
2. Driveshaft will be the wrong length
3. Throttle linkage would either have to be retrofitted or re-engineered



Has anyone put a 603 into a SWB 126?



Ive really just got tired of the old tractor motor. Its great, has enough power, never gives me problems (neither of them) and is really running great at the time. I just think its time to move on to something slightly more modern and interesting.
