Hi,
A family member just bought this at a yard sale for $10. Prior owner, who she trusts, said that the carb need cleaning. Foolishly, I agreed to get it running.
The engine is a Tecumseh VLV55 model 501029A. The mower is an MTD/Yard Machines model 124-477D013. The engine also says 'Vector XL/C' on the top. Suspect that this is the name of the mower.
My current problem is how to drain the old, black, engine oil. Pictures from internet parts sellers suggest that there is a drain plug on the bottom. I can't see it. Might be covered by sheet metal. The user manual is apparently made of unobtainium. The engine service manuals refer the reader to the same unavailable manual.
Does anybody remember how to drain the oil from one of these? I'm beginning to think that tipping the mower over to drain through the dipstick port may be the answer.
Thanks in advance!
