There is a tube off of an elbow on the fuel tank neck of the 430 tractor. Does the other end connect somewhere, or does it just dive under the deck to vent the tank? I have the fender deck off of my tractor at the moment, and I found a short piece of rotted hose laying on top of the tank, but it wasn't connected to anything. The section from the deck opening to the elbow had already rotted away.

Thanks.

I think this is just a vent tube for the tank. Some have a vented fuel cap for this.
Is your S/N above or below 475000?
