Mule probs please help

[dscotts69]

I have a 3010 mule, 2002 model. The rear diff case got busted ( sharp turn on pavement with rear diff locked, with a load in the bed). I know that a 2510 diff will work. I found a 2500 mule with a good engine, trans, diff etc. The diff looks the same, except, the 2500 is 2wd (of course). The diff for the 2500 appears as though the tranfer case for a 4wd model will bolt right on the side. Does anyone know for sure, that the rear diff for a 2wd model will interchange with the diff for a 4wd model? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I'm in a bind to get my mule fixed.

A quick check of the part numbers, should help. But it certainly sounds reasonable, since I doubt that Kawasaki, would want to stock different sizes of transmission for each separate model.
