Many belated happy returns to your Mum, Alasdair.

Just missed my Gran's birthday by a day. She would have been 129 years old on the 7th April!!!

How families must be similarly 'old'. My grandad was in 8th Battalion Tank Corps and I'm only 54!

Spheres tested, max 2.psi pressure drop in 6 years.

Leak fixed, had to replace the return (3 point) from the electro-valves to the underbody return line.

To do this I am "experimenting" with Push-fit Pneumatic connectors and PU tube. I first tried some very cheep ones (China?) which were LHM safe but leaked at the seals a little, I have switched to (in comparison) some quite expensive ones with twin seals and these passed a long term "low pressure test" ( a clamped syringe ) so I have now progressed to a On-Car test.

All nice and dry again now.

Lets play ----SPOT the Push-Fit Connector----

It was a day to make red a bit "redder"
Apparently the 1st colour was for an earlier type of International tractor and not this one.....so on with some new paint.
