    IMG_2468.JPG IMG_2469.JPG IMG_2468.JPG IMG_2469.JPG First time post, long time lurker. Our new to us farm truck is a 99 Volvo, Cummins M11, Super Ten, single axle. Pulls better than any dually we ever owned. Other than common o-ring air leaks and a finicky super ten coming from 7 to 6, the truck pulls great.

    While changing the oil in the farm shop, the oil pan has an easy drain with no levers, but a round spring loaded valve to seal the oil pan. There must be a hose the attaches with a detent pin to push the ball up so you can drain the oil. It's probably a former Fed-Ex truck and I can't find a comparable drain plug anywhere. All the plugs I find have levers to release the oil. I'd like to buy the hose and like this design.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the response. Merry Christmas!

    I think what you have there is an ESOC fitting. Quick oil change adapter common on some fleets. Most likely proprietary. Searching their products may come up with what your after.

    Another Volvo hits the farm scene,,,yay,,just kidding, it looks like a "No-Spill" fitting that many fleets use.
