I don't know why in the world this system "fixya" wrote "Generic problem for all Power Lawn Mowers" over my question when it specifically asked me the model of my lawn mower, (or else it would proceed).
Anyway, my question is specifically for the craftsman rotary lawn mower, 6.75 HP, 22" model No. 917.376150.
does the 917 376150 have a oil drain plug?

Turn mower on side and see if there's a drain plug on the bottom, if not turn the mower almost upside down on the side with the dipstick and drain it that way..
If it isn't on the bottom of the engine (above the blade) then you don't have one. This is not that uncommon. When you need to drain the oil, FIRST- pull the spark plug wire off!!! Then remove the dip stick or filler plug and turn the unit upside down and drain the oil.
if it is a push mower then it will be underneath by the blade if it has one. if it doesn't have one there then you drain the oil by turning it upside down keeping the carburetor pointed up while you roll it over
Hi, Many of the newer lawn mower engines do not have a drain plug anymore... to drain the motor you will need to dump them upside down and run the old oil out of the fill pipe....yeah, it's dumb, but I bet 95% of the people never drain their oil....
The gas and oil weren't in the mower when it was upside down were they?
If that's not the issue, then the problem could lie in the fact that neither tank was fully drained before being put upside down. What happens is that the oil and fuel mix and will drain into the wrong area.
My best suggestion would be to leave the mower upright for a few days before trying to start it If need be, drain the oil and gas and let both tanks dry out completely before refilling.
Clean the spark plug and change the filter.
If none of these ideas work, then you will need to take your mower in to be serviced.
The mower has a engine so the drain plug must be at the lowest point and the lowest point is just above the blades So turn the engine off turn mower upside down and you will find a drain plug square head 4sides and it is tapered /un do it and let all oil out by standing it back on its wheels/when drained refit bung only as tight as it was getting out and turn back on wheels and refill with 20W 40 OIL
There should be a drain plug on the underside of the mower deck. Raise that side of deck, remove the plug and drain the oil. Replace the plug and add new oil. Hope this helped.
