The only "banjo" I'm aware of is the fuel fitting at the carb. That's assuming the 8N has one. The contenential 4 cyl on my TO30 does and it's essentially the same engine.

I have worked on several 8N's and I have no idea what they are talking about . If you are sure the slipping is in the diff 1st pull the brake drums and check the axle ends and hubs . The axle ends are splined and fit into hubs that have the wheels studs in them .
Thank you gentlemen I appreciate your input and thoughts. I am like you are I have never heard of "banjos" in a differential. This term came from and OLD school tractor mechanic who has since left us. When the weather warms up nicely I am going to go through this tractor, I am hoping to adapt it to a flat head V8, new clutch, rebuild the brakes, and go through the differential, install a frontend loader on it, and a badly needed paint job. It's one of my tinkering projects. I just thought if anybody knew what the differential "banjos" were I might be a little ahead of the game LOL. I have a complete shop repair manual, very detailed, but can't find anything refered to as "banjo(s)". Must be an old school term. I will definately report back on the progress of the tractor restoration and especially if I learn what the "banjos" are. Thanks again for your input.

Reason: spelling
My wife doesn't understand that railroaders showed the the post office how it's done...we work in everything everyday. We don't need cheesy 17 holidays a year (wouldn't complain on that though). For some reason she's quite concerned that since the schools are closed up here, and she's not going to work...that I shouldn't either.

Wally, that was more a hint toward a group dysfunction than a individual get together. But I copy ya' loud & clear.
Gentlemen, somedays it doesn't pay to get out of bed. I was thinking yesterday would be another regular day (short of the frozen crap on the ground). I was wrong and it never ceases to amaze me how things can "spiral out of control" to the point that an easy day has turned into a nightmare. Thank goodness I get paid by the hour...ca-ching!

There are also banjo bolts on the 6.0L and 6.4L on the front of the head at the ends of the fuel rails....sort of a Ford product. I know Scott, I'm talking about a 6.0L and you stopped reading several minutes ago.

howdy fellas. Im back up to 3 project trucks. Going to turn the cheap junker out back I bought for the grill shell & front clip into a big ***, ford truck looking, mobile grill/smoker.
Also found pictures & a part number to go behind the old IDIs for a flywheel housing to SAE 2 bell. Just gotta find one now.
