I just bought a used snapper with a B&S 6hp motor. I always do my own oil changes, but for the life of me I can't find the drain plug. How do I remove old oil? Tip it over?

It's usually on the bottom of the engine, in the deck blade area.
That is what I have always had on my other mowers. No drain plug on the bottom, and nothing on the side (like my snow blower)
Go to

on Publications, and fill in the model number. You'll see a manual with instructions.
Well son of gun! It said to turn the mower upside down and drain through the fill hole. Thanks for the web site!
Most of the newer B&S engines don't have a drain plug. You have to turn it over. I think they save about 25 cents by eliminating it.
My new Briggs has a drain plug, and a short drain pipe to boot

I'm laughing my ass off, LOL, oh yea, laugh out loud too.
My new Sig should be "look out for ten inch sticks! they are lawn tractor killers" I'll have an update this Friday or Saturday (like anyone cares)

It used to be a long drain pipe, but was met by a 10" pine twig. =)
Some of us are laughies some are laughers, we all have our turns.
