May have a solution to the 424 being discontinued

[aaronxs400]

But i need to find out if Big Bear 400 non selectable 4x4 front differentials fit the 1st Generation Wolverines.

if they do swap, then an 03-06 Big Bear front Diff will swap over, which is selectable 2wd 4wd and i believe has a locker as well. i also learned this from a forum:

'05 Bruin 350 and '05 Big bear 400 front differentials have the exact same part number as the '06 Wolverine 450 front differential
So they may all be options to swap. Now just gotta figure out if the non selectable big bear/wolverine diffs are the same up front.

were you able to use

did you find or use anything to work?

 

[BlackSCRunner]

I know this is an old thread but I am also interested if you discovered anything. I'm in love with a bunch of the old aftermarket stuff for the wolverine (which I just got, 2005) but most of it is discontinued!

Warn 424

I gave up looking for a 424 for my 95 wolverine. I bought one for a Kawasaki Prarie...shortened the shaft and it's awesome. Still some new ones out there for the KAW.
