Changing Oil on Troy-Bilt J830 Mower

[seack]

Been doing some much needed maintenance on an J830 I recently aquired from a friend. Got the spark plug and air filter changed no problems. Downloaded the manual to see where the oil drain plug is at; no luck. Removed the blade and "housing". Thought I'd find the drain plug underneath. However, now I see 4 more bolts and no drain plug. Anyone know where the drain plug is on this thing? Those 4 bolts look like they're holding the engine to the frame of the mower.

we would need the make and model of the engine

If I remember right J830 us a walk behind mower. Your engine has no drain plug. Take out the dipstick and tip the unit on it's side to drain the oil into a pan.

Yes it is a walk behind mower. The model of the engine appears to be: 8BSXS 1901VH 278051.

Also saw another number that may be related; D11819 AC. I should just tip the thing on it's side to drain the oil?

That's the way we do it in the shop.

That'll work thanks for the assistance.
