Can you be more specific?
Is it at the forward end of the inlet manifold?

EGR valve?  Thinking of something that looks like a vac capsule (and i don't have a tractor...yet)

Hmmm, I'm sure that one of the small-bore pipes connects the EGR valve to the EGR solenoid valve, (which is mounted by the PAS reservoir). The other pipe, (which is missing in your case), simply vents to the atmosphere, at least I think so, IIRC.

I'll try and confirm in the morning ........

Yep, there are indeed two small-bore pipes from the EGR valve.

The outer one, (nearest the battery), connects to the EGR solenoid valve, (by the PAS reservoir).
The inner one goes to atmosphere.
Mine's been lengthened, re-routed and clipped behind the rad to allow any discharge to drip out of harms way below the car.
