john deere stx38

Does anyone have the 314 page service manual on pdf ? Thanks .

I just purchased aJOHN DEERE STX38 TRACTOR which I really like. However I just got it a few days ago and went to start it the next day and it would not start. I trouble shooted it to the starter and also installed a new battery because it was on its way out. Installed them and it started right...

Why does the pully on top of rear drive keep stripping? Do I need to rebuild the rear axle?

I am at a toss up without demoing either of these machines. I really need to know what is better. I once owned a toro dingo and loved it so I know pretty much how it’s going to look and feel.

I recently acquired a yellow deck stx38 with the Peerless 920-017. There was a whining noise from the transmission whenever the clutch was engaged. I found that the pulley for the input shaft transaxle was loose. I pulled the transaxle and found the pulley was trashed and there is up and down...

I have a black deck STX38 that came with the house I bought. Other than the some minor issues this thing is seemingly unbreakable (you'd think I was trying to how I drive it). Thinking of upgrading, but I honestly can't figure out what it would get me. What am I missing? I have about 3 acres...

I have a 23 yr old John Deere YELLOW DECK STX 38 lawn tractor and have been unable to get grease into the axle pivot grease fitting. I changed the fitting and when doing so, noticed that while putting a probe in the fitting hole that there was no space between the steel tube to which the fitting...

hi all, Neighbor of mine just gave me his 1995 STX38 that he bought new, in California. He moved here to southern Arizona in 2006 and the tractor has sat outside ever since. It looks pretty weathered but I think I can resurrect it. It needs a new hood, seat, battery so far that i can tell, and...

Got a stx 38 to mow where the 950 can not (septic field and around house). The fuel filter was leaking and pricing parts i went ahead and got thr "home maintnance kit lg182 for stx38 stx46". Problem is fuel filter is different. The picture on the box matches the one on the tractor but...

Im looking for a newer lawn mower that is a little more dependable. I only have about $300 saved up and i seen an STX 38 for $300 or b/o. Are they good little mowers? my father has one but his is falling apart (due to lack of maintance)

I have a black deck STX38. I replaced the PTO clutch and cleaned the battery and ground connections but still the tractor will mow for a few minutes and then the clutch disengages. It will occasionally come back on for a while but will not keep running. Any ideas? Does anyone have a full...

John Deere STX38 yellow deck, blades slowly keep spinning when PTO switch is off, could this just be a bad PTO clutch? :pullinghair: Thanks

I have a JD STX 38 that is running like it wants to stall. It has a real gassy mess and have determined there is a gas (not oil) leak from the governor shaft that comes out the side of the engine. When used last summer, it would stall out when the gas tank got down to 1/2 tank, and then had to...

I got this tractor on a trade and someone has disconnected wires (many). I can not seem to find a wiring diagram for this tractor. The serial number is MOOSTXN272014. If anyone could help I would be much obliged.

Hello All, My STX 38 (Black deck) has a clutch problem. The clutch does not want to disengage. When the mower is not running, I can hear the clutch try to engage/disengage as I turn the key on/off and operate the PTO switch. Does this mean I need a new clutch? Or can I perhaps adjust the...

Any help is greatly appreciated. The serial number is moostxc260407. Could not find it on tractor data.

Anyone have any information on removing the engine? I just bought this unit yesterday thinking it just needed a PTO adjustment and come to find 3 of the 4 engine mounting bolts missing. The one that was left is a 3/8-16 USS self tapping bolt. After going to the JD dealer and seeing what belongs...

I posted this once before under STX38 Running Trouble..I have an STX38 with a black deck. My mower starts fine and runs perfect except that once I go over half throttle the engine runs like it wants to blow up. I checked the carb (someone mentioned the butterfly valve). Seems fine. Then I...

I recently purchased a stx38 with the black mower deck. When I had someone replace the belt a spring came off. Apparently, the spring must be replaced. I have tried to identify the exact part. Some people seem to describe it as the tension spring or drive spring. Does anyone know the...

I have an JD stx38 w/38" black mulch deck and extra blades. Free, you pickup. Short block problems. No seat. Good (near new)starter & battery.

I need a mower for trimming in places where my tractor/5' finnishing mower won't fit. I came across a John Deere STX38 mower and know nothing about them. Would this be a grade above the LT series? The mower is 15years old and looks to be in very good shape. They want $425 for it.

While trim mowing with my JD STX38, the blades all of a sudden stopped spinning. Everything seemed in order, so I figured it must be the PTO switch. I replaced the switch and still nothing. I realized that when I'm off the tractor while it's running (parking brake on) and I pull the PTO knob...

Trying to determine if the hydro needs replacement or a rebuild ..if that is done. I have a hill and the stx38 was shuttering going up the hill..I checked the oil and it was low..added what was required and I think that helped a bit..couldn"t see if the belt was slipping but it is relatively new...

Hey guys... I've kinda been looking around for a used mower to mow my land with. I've been using my brushhog but now it's pretty level and a riding mower would have no trouble cutting it. It's really a pain to haul the tractor over there just the cut the grass. I found a JD STX38 for sell...

Need some help please. Was mowing my lawn yesterday everything was fine . I pressed the clutch/brake pedal to stop, then released it and the tractor would not move. Crawled underneath and the drive belt looks intact. The mower has served me well for the past 10 years. Thanks Billy

Help, I lost one of the springs for my JD hood; probably have to hunt one down at the dealer? Second, does anyone have a parts manual for an STX38 to assist with the correct replacement number? I sure could use a used hood if anyone has one for sale? Also, the bracket assembly inside the hood...

I have a John Deere STX38 lawn tractor manufactured around 1991. It has a belt driven transmission/transaxle . One of the pulleys that this drive belt goes around is broken and I'm trying to replace the pulley and belt. My problem is that this pulley/idler is located right next to the top of...
