According to the owners manual,...no. Similar to older vehicles with manual transmissions, not required as long as a good quality lubricant was added. JOHN DEERe transmission oil is top notch (same used in their heavy duty tractors), and as long as there is no contamination or fod introduced from leaving the cap off, there shouldn't be any need to flush. However, being a jet mechanic (working on Boeing 757s & 767s), I occasionally flush fluids in all my equipment ,...just like the airlines do as a preventative measure. It really can't hurt as long as you use the exact same lubricant. Switching fluids every time some Joe comes out with another 'wonder' product can potentially harm seals, vanes, and valving. Now engine oil & filter, and especially servicing the air filter are a completely different story as they are constantly subject to contamination via fuels, dust, water, combustion by-products. Good luck!

How do you fill hydrostatic transmission on a John Deere stx 38?
Remove the battery. Once it is out of the way you should be able to see a vent hose coming off the top of the transaxle. Remove the hose from the fitting and then unscrew the fitting from the transaxle. This is where you add the oil.
