Ok so tractor bought with brake problem (right hand brake not working) found. Out why bleed nipple was loose.
Went to give it some work today to try it out, I hiched up the tanker + trailer brake line (oil) and off i go. So get to first gate hop out to open it, back in tractor and right hand brake locked on (tanker brake line pressurised as well). After 5 min pressure has receded, take trailer brake line off and carry on to the field (foot off the brakes) in field right hand brake goes on again, leave 5 or so minutes and brake is off. Done the same again going back to yard. But stopping every 100 yards when the brakes slowly come on. Thinking out aloud, trailer brake system leaking and pressurising the right hand brake ? Anyone any ideas ?

Take it for another trip, but when it binds, loosen the bleeder (that's why it was loose) just to make sure its the master cylinder and not binding inside the trumpet.
See have you any free play in the brake pedal, before it starts to push the piston in the master cylinder, just compare it with the left hand one?

How you getting on @Happy hillbily another thing you could try is to blank off your trailer brake valve and see how it works then it does sound like it’s sticking by the symptoms

Had my mobile mechanic around yesterday, i just haven't had time to get to the Tw. We blanked off the T fitting off to the trailer brake line and tried the tractor, right hand brake came on again so it's not the trailer brakes. We the swaped the two pipes coming out of the back of the master cylinder, so the pedals would work the opposite brake. Took the tractor for a spin, and hei presto the left hand brake came on (no input from the brake pedals) so it must be the master cylinder !!! Phones the local Nh dealer, a new master cylinder was £1180, but none were available (thankfully) tried a few other places and he's got a repair kit for the master cylinder off Robert wraight, so hopefully should have a working tractor next week !
Did find out off a group on Facebook last night, that QTP do a master cylinder repair kit, a 1/3 of New hollands price, but comes in new Holland packaging !
