NGC Snoblower motor question

(1/4) > >>

fotoguzzi:
My kid was sent out by his boss to buy a snowblower. I said get an Ego but they didn’t have any in stock so he got a big 2 stage gas blower. Like a dope he over filled the oil which I corrected. BUT noticed something that the manual doesn’t talk about. They don’t even mention oil changes.
 The fill / dip stick hole is number 1, assume #2 is the oil drain so what is #3 for in this pic? It also has a short dip stick. When I unscrewed it all the overfill spilled out all over my garage.. I know now, who’s the dope? I could have guessed the excess would flow out there but it was about half a quart so he really over filled it. Made a mess, blame myself.
So is #3 a level drain like the Guzzi rear drive and tranny have? You guys know more than the bimbo at the store where he got it so I won’t bother asking there.

cloudbase:
Perhaps a gearbox?

There's likely a forum for this stuff somewhere on the internet that will have the information you need.  I'm surprised the manual doesn't have anything to say about it.

guzzisteve:
#1--Fill & level check
#2--Drain plug
#3-- maybe gearbox drain?

Dr. Enzo Toma:
For the V7 850 E5 at least I can tell you from first hand experience that the fill hole on the on the rear drive is not in line with the prescribed oil level, but to the point of your snow thrower, what model is it?

It looks like a Power Smart. Here's an owners' manual from a model that might be similar to yours:
https://www.m-and-d.com/pdfs/PowerSmart/DB7622H%20Snow%20Thrower.pdf
It states "Drain oil to proper level. Oil should not be above the top 2 threads of LOWER fill plug."

PeteS:
#1 is the dipstick with oil level marked on. Not sure what #3 is other than its not the fill level.
