Can't seem to find an obvious plug underneath the radiator for draining it. Manual says there is one, but where is it hiding? There's this plate thing with a plug-like in the middle on the inside bottom, could that be it? See photo.

Hidesertman, facing the radiator from the front of the machine, the drain plug is about 3" back (towards the rear) from the front of the radiator and about 3" in (towards the center) from your right side of the radiator. It's inset in the radiator support.

Your picture shows the support for the hand crank for starting. Does this have an electric starter? Just curious.

Some 22's have a drain valve like this one, bottom right of the radiator. Turn it out a few cranks.[attachment=45998]IMG_1883.jpg[/attachment]

Hi Pete & others, I will check out your suggestions and see! No, this is purely a hand cranker to start...

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
