Hi, I am a new to this forum, but have been reading quite a bit lately. I read on here that Ariens makes an upgrade it to convert a non-differential unit to one with a differential. Has anyone purchased this upgrade?? I checked Ariens parts radar, but nothing seems to come up for an accessory kit. I have a 1027LE , and am wondering if it would be worthwhile to purchase the upgrade or trade mine in on a DLE model ...Any info would be helpful.. I dont have a paved driveway so the locked axle plays havoc on chewing it up and it is quite a pain to constantly be locking and unlocking the axle since i have compound curves i have to deal with.

Thanks

Jeff

Tried googling "ariens diferential upgrade" and couldn't find this.

Is it something that'll change the pin drive system to a real differential?

I'd jump on that in a heartbeat!
