Busted front diff in my 2012 xp I have found a front diff out of a 2010 that i could possibly use ,they look the same but different part numbers . Does anybody know if these differentials will interchange

 

[Expat]

They should. I think the differance will be the 2012 has an aluminum sprague carrier and the 2010s will be plastic unless it has been upgraded.

Pull yours apart and more than likely you will find carrier is what busted. Just replace it. [video=youtube;DN2Urulah3c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN2Urulah3c"]Super ATV has a good video of the job[/URL] and sells the carrier. I am going to try this carrier next.

That's what I was thinkin, that the different part numbers were from the upgrade from the plastic sprague to the aluminum one. If that's the only difference I would just upgrade the sprague in the 2010 diff. I pulled my front diff apart , the sprague carrier, armature plate are trashed an the side cover has the copper wires showing from wear. ring, pinion, two pieces wer the axles slide in an the big side of the housing are about all I can salvage

Actually you have 2 different part numbers for 2010.
Polaris front gear case.
Polaris part# 1332731 built 3/04/10 and before.
Polaris part# 1332773 built 3/05/10'and after.

I have not looked to see what the difference is.

Polaris front gear case for 2012.
Polaris part# 1332971.


They (should) all interchange.

Yea it looks like it should bolt right up. I just hate to get it an it be a different gear ratio or something , maybe it's just the plastic sprague carrier

.....I just hate to get it an it be a different gear ratio or something......

I can't tell you what is different, but it won't be the gear ratio.

 

[POS POLARIS]

I believe the gear ratio was different on the 2012 HDs and the diesel model rangers. I could be wrong though.

I went ahead an ordered it I'm going to try it out an I'll let y'all knw wat I find
