Can someone please tell me why a fuel line would be leading to the rear end of a tractor? And if it's only on a special kind of tractor, then which one, a 200 or 230?

**The model on the tag has the two letters MC to start.
What does that mean?
 
NO comment on what you are saying about the tag numbers, but a fuel line to the rear might indicate someone put a fuel tank back there for some specific application (corn or cotton picker, for example... both those are out of my area of knowledge, though), or simply "farmerized" it.
 
replaced a fuel line on a more modern foreign built tractor not long ago. Fuel line ran toward the back. Tank was on the front. I said what the heck. Started tracing it back, sure enough there was an auxilary tank to hold additional fuel at the rear of the tractor. Shook my head and just replaced it. Its hard to say. What it ran to, might be long gone for years.
 
As Jim Becker stated in a previous thread, it appears you have a "skid unit" tractor that was sold to Chilsom Ryder for one of their various harvesters. Most likely a bean harvester.

First off are you sure it is a fuel line? If it connects to the carburetor or the fuel tank, okay. I'm not very familiar with those bean harvesters, but it is possible that there was a large auxiliary fuel tank so that the tractor could run a 12-16 hour day without refueling. The original gas tank only has about enough fuel for 6 hours at full load, if that.

Google "Chilsom Ryder bean harvester" and you'll see the type of machine this tractor was once a part of.

I'm thinking auxiliary hydraulic reservoir. If so, it would be a lot larger than a fuel line. The CR bean pickers usually pulled a large dump trailer that had some pretty long cylinders. A google search like mkirsch suggested will show a picture of a picker with the trailer attached.
