This may be a dumb question, but someone once told me that there's no such thing! 

Anyway, I'm about to do my first oil change on my new Ariens. I've been through the owner’s manual numerous times and, while it steps you through the motions, it doesn't actually show you where the drain plug is located. A visual check of the machine makes me think that the plug is at the end of a silver colored rod that protrudes to the left of the recoil starter. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks.
