If you need one, I've got one with 1/4"NPT inlet. Installed briefly on my M818, but near new. http://ddinstruments.com/expello-drain-valves/

Rotella 50W Engine Oil per Spicer spec. in mine. No problems.

I installed a new M915 style battery box http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148460-M915-Battery-Box-on-M809-series. In doing so, the two inboard right-side air tanks I installed to supplant the primary and secondary tanks had to be removed for proper fitment of the box. That's OK, I...

The M915 Battery Box job is NOW REALLY done. Connected air tanks, some new stenciling and got it out of its space for some good right side photos... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148460-M915-Battery-Box-on-M809-series/page3

The caps came from eBay around $20-25 each. The adapters came from http://www.jmesales.com/product/morrison-bros-305-series-tight-fill-adapters,5819,7258.htm

Installed a matching set of Morrison Bros. Top Seal Caps and adapters. I got the idea here...http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148561-Locking-fuel-cap/page3, post #24. I made sure to post the part numbers in the pics if anyone else is interested. I love the look and convenience of...

So, I finally got it all finished up this morning. I connected up the right side in-board secondary air tank to the existing air system. I also dressed up the the out-board right side primary air tank's drain valve pull cable. I mounted an eye-bolt to the front/top corner of the battery box lid...

An improvement, yes! They're like dragon's teeth;) You're not going to slip on those!

Probably just a replacement part with improvements. The non-skid surfaces on the steps alone is much better than I've seen on the older boxes. Regardless, it's a very sturdy, well built box [thumbzup]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this box may have been an upgrade kit to the original OEM box. I dunno'?? The battery box in the -24P shows a back on it, but its construction is a little different.

I finished up the M915 style battery box install on my M818. Nice look and good fit. And, there are also pics of the new right side fuel tank. Follow the project here... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148460-M915-Battery-Box-on-M809-series

I installed the rubber coated plywood liner into the battery box. I bolted the liner down using the three existing pre-drilled hold down bolt holes; two on the left side and the right/rear. I laid in the outer most hold-down and placed a bolt through the hold-down bolt clip adjacent to the...

I received the Deka Group 31 battery hold-downs (Deka p/n 06165). I found these on eBay. I originally had ordered the Deka 06166, double group 31 hold-down, from eTrailer, but they were back-ordered through mid-January. I may re-order the double hold-down later, but for now I wanted to get the...

I added an Abus No. 110 multi-hinged lock hasp to secure the box. The multi-hinge design gets the hasp up and over the bottom lip of the battery box eliminating any mounting guesswork. The hasp was mounted to the outer reinforcing channel under the box. I used 3/16" x 3/8 "-1/2" steel blind...

The size is correct. You have to remove the screen/strainer for these particular caps to install and operate properly.

Me too!

Once the battery box was installed, the tolerance between the fuel tank and box for the rear rubber tie-down clamp was too close. The front between the box and fender was OK, but for balance I decided to move both out to the side. The tie-down hinge brackets were mounted on the saddle...
