Now, that is interesting.  I am pretty sure mine has a filler on the
banjo, *and* I have a faint but possibly mistaken recollection that there
is also a filler on the pumpkin.  I shall have to check when I next battle
my way through the snow to my rented garage.  If there are two, it should
have struck me that they were not both necessary. 

Of course, if I do have both, I could trade you a very noisy diff with the
filler you need for a hopefully quieter one without the filler I don't
need ;^).

How about it out there in netland, anyone with a good 4.22 to 1
Spridgit pumpkin they are willing to part with for a reasonable price?
