By locker are you meaning selectable from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel driver, or are you meaning a locked differential in 4wd? (not limited slip, both axles pulling full time at an even rate) I think the automatic came out in 2000 and it had selectable 4wd to 2wd. If was a push lever on the left inside fender. The manual did not have this option. Not sure that the 2001 manual had it either, seemed like they offered "Bold New Graphics" that year (though they may have updated the rear end on the manual at that time so that it didn't sit so low and the drain plug didn't always get knocked loose) I know they did in 2003 though on the AC500i at least. As far as whether a differential from the AC500 auto could be swapped into a manual version, I don't know. The 1998/99 AC500 was a pain to steer though.

I think the Honda system works a lot like that too. Hit the brakes and it confuses the system into locking the front diff on older models that didn't have it. I had a Grizzly 660 with diff lock and it didn't use it much. The Brute has the lever to engage diff-lock and I think I have used it maybe 3-4 times in the 2 months I have had it. Good tires will help a quad without diff lock get through a lot. I think you will really like the power upgrade the 750i will give you.
