    Randy,

    That is a drain tube for any lubricant making it by the first of two axle seals. It’s intended to keep oil from the brakes, you should ensure that it remains open. The original seals were cork or felt and do leak by. I replaced those with modern lip seals, so the drain isn’t needed now.
