The line leading to the valve is the actuation line from the governor unloading port.

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/

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...

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!
