Ford 2600 hydraulic query

Hi
have a ford2600 with one hydraulic pipe out, wanting to use a log splitter but need a return flow. Does anyone know easy way to do this? Is there an existing connection that is blanked off ? if so what would be needed. Thanks

Simplest way is to pipe it straight into the back end.

Could do it using the back end filler cap.

Hi
cannot see where you mean. Can you clarify, i am fairly new to tractors so probably my ignorance. How would you connect the pipe in, is it a straight forward job with a standard fitting/

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Right hand side of the tractor behind the seat, there is a large nut that you can open to fill the back axle with oil. That is the one I mean.

Standard fitting won't do straight, will need another adapter I think.

Right hand side of the backaxle.

Small square headed head on the plug.
