Open the hood and look on both sides near the hinges. There is a spring on each side. Grab the motor end of the spring and pull the end off of the bracket. Once you have both springs removed, lower the hood about 3/4 of the way and pull the bottom front of the hood forward off the hinges.
Remove 2 clevis pins from front of mower deck and 2 more from the rear. Remove drive belt from lower pulley on engine side, then deck should be able to be removed by sliding out from left or right of mower frame. Removal is made easier of mower deck if height adjustment is in its lowest position after mower deck drive belt is removed.
Open hood. Remove two bolts (one on either side) near hinge point of hood. Close hood. Remove two bolts holding hood assembly to front of frame from underneath. Remove hood assembly.
Thank you for your help

how do i check the hydro transmisson fluid on a stx38
one end on the undercarriage (1/8 holes) the other end on the shaft that goes to pedal
The STX-38 should have an electric clutch for the mower deck. The switch to engage it is on the right rear fender. It is a toggle switch. You will have to pull up on the switch and forward to engage the blades.
