"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.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
