So just what kind of a pan does it have that there is not a plug in the bottom for a drain as coming from the factory they did have a drain plug.

Are you trying to drain the hydraulic, transmission, or engine oil??

I bet if you look closer and clean up the grease and oil on the pan you will find it does in fact have a drain

You had better hire a mechanic. If you can"t even find a drain plug, how do you know where to put the new oil?

There is a drain plug on the engine pan. There are level valves on the left-hand side of the engine. And, a fill pipe at the top.
There is a drain plug on the transmission. And, a fill plug.
There is a drain plug on the hydraulic unit. And, a fill plug.
If you have a engine pan that does not have a drain plug.......you have a very unusual pan that is surly not a factory unit.

This could have been a very rare experimental unit, which came from the factory with oil that never needs changing or replenishment due to the self cleaning oil filter.

I have a Honda engine on one of my walk behind lawn mowers. NO drain plug. Tip it on it's side to drain. I could not believe that so even referred to my operators manual. But, the C , well, some one may have stripped it out and welded it shut. I have seen stranger repairs made.

Seems things are being made cheaper (nothing new). I bought a pressure washer a couple of weeks ago with a Briggs and Stratton engine. The manual says to tip it to the side to "drain" the oil, which I did after I put too much oil in it. The mfg furnished the oil and said to put it in the engine before starting. I did, and since it was overfull, the mfg did not tip all their oil out.

I run a couple GC and GX 160 Hondas on my automatic soil samplers. They have a drain plug, but due to their design you can't drain the oil without is spilling EVERYWHERE. I bought one of those oil suckers from TSC on clearance a few years ago and it works awesome. I use it on all my lawnmower type engines. (Except the 318)
