"or as you put it back down in the barrel it rolled over"
What does this mean? I"m 99% sure that the discs of the packing (offhand I believe there were 4, but I"m not in the shop at the moment) went in without any sort of twisting. They have a dished and a convex side, but I don"t see how they could end up in there wrong... it"s not like they"re o-rings or something that"s elastic enough to twist about, they"re more like cork.
Lacking any other guidance, I lubed up the new discs (one at a time) with hytran and pushed them in with my thumbs until they seated against the ridge inside. I had the old packing sitting next to me as a guide, after having carefully looked at how the various dished/concaves lined up. Then I lubed up the ram, slipped it in, and reassembled the housing. How can I check if they"ve "rolled"?
The tractor has a front hydraulic lift cylinder which I believe is functioning fine, but I"ll double check that when I"m next at the farm.
I don"t believe the cylinder has any kind of air-relief... And I attempted to bleed it by putting the control lever in "float" (middle position) where I was then able to compress the cylinder by muscle power, then flip the control lever to lift/extend until it was extended... then repeat.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
