kawasaki mule with 200es engine

gf been on my but about getting her mule back running,she rode it about 15 miles one day and came home with a rod knocking.my old 200es has a fresh rebuilt engine and drive train but the frame is rusted beyond repair.i plan on putting the 200es engine and rear diff on the mule.will post pics of the progress tomorrow.

Sounds like quite a project. I don't want to sound snarky, but the 200ES doesn't have a differential. I just can't imagine that final drive would work very well in the mule, and even if you had slippage enough to steer somewhat ok, that gearbox would be really too light for the stress. I would think it would fail really quickly. Just a thought, you might be better off finding another Kawasaki engine that would swap right in.

its all done.came out good.twice the power and steers better.the 200es is shaft drive with low range.it pulls the 26 vampires no problem.
