Ummm...I pulled the bolt NEXT to the trans/rearend oil level plug by mistake..Heard a "Klunk" (bad sign)..!!

Opened the left round inspection cover and see the oil pickup had dropped down it has a filter on it..

I put it in what I believe is "in place" and am not happy about the way it does not seem to be connected to anything and I can't see behind that part (Pump?).

The Hydraulics work fine (3-Point)..

I have the manual, do not see anything relevant to that tube..
Next, can someone explain how I can prepare this tractor for a Remote cylinder..?

This 3000 has the biggest, ugliest Pre-air-cleaner in front, on TOP of the hood I ever saw...!!
How often were they used.?
Didn't look like the oil-bath behind the grill had been serviced in a few years..!!
Any suggestions..?
Thanks
Merry Christmas....

The tube that you removed the bolt for is the return line, not the pickup line. The return line has the cartridge type filter on the end. the pickup line has an enlarged metal end with a metal screen built into it.

There is no pump in there on a 3000, the pump is up on the left side of the engine by the flywheel. You should see hard lines going from the right side of the center housing forward along the right side of the tractor and across to the pump behind the steering column.

You need a helper, one person to hold the tube in place by reaching in through the inspection hole so that the bracket that the bolt goes into lines up with the exterior hole, and the other to install the bolt from the opposite side of the tractor. If you have really long arms you might be able to do it yourself.
 
Going from memory on my 2000. That tube has a bracket with captive nut on it for that screw. I think the lower end plugs in to the suction line connection and has an O-ring to seal it, it was missing on mine.
