It's one of those ugly Chelsea tractors 3 years old that should have a bleedin plough behind it.High pressure pipe goes from the condenser along engine side then across the bulkhead and through to evaporator in one complete section so expenssive and pain in the arse job apparently.
I do have the right size brass fittings but thought ally ones put less pressure on tube
and will not damage pipe when used.

Replace the whole section with a flexible hose, get two peice flare adaptors and hose by the metre from ThermoKing or Transcold and make up your own hose to required length.
Have similar problem with fracturing ali tubes on trucks.
