On the top of the engine on my JD 870 are three serpentine hoses, that connect to the fuel injectors. From the parts diagram I gather the are part of the fuel return system. What does the fuel return system do? Why does fuel have to be returned?

The hoses in question are item #10 on this diagram:

The reason for asking is that one of them was chewed by mice years ago, and I replaced it with a hose from the auto parts store. Fifteen years later it's leaking again, so I just replaced it and think I fixed it.
