As a point of information some of the Kawasaki KLT-200/250's from the early 80's have a rear end with a differential that can be locked like a 4WD at the hub for off-road use. They were popular for golf course maintenance crews because they wouldn't tear up the sod like an ATV with a straight axle.
I bought one of these rear ends awhile back to use in the construction of a three wheeler for the next time I wang myself and end up on crutches unable to ride. It's out in the barn waiting for me to get off my duff and do something with it.
Supposedly someone locally was using these rear ends to convert 250 Honda Rebels into trikes.
