I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to replace my front axle and I need to remove the muffler to get to the axle bolt. Please help.
I recently replaced the front axle on my STX38 so I took off the muffler as well. The muffler's heat shield needs to come off first, I think there's just two bolts holding that in place on the front of it. If I remember correctly, there were 4 bolts total securing the muffler. There are two bolts towards the front of the muffler that connect vertically to the body of the mower, these need to be removed. If you look at the very top of the muffler where it connects to the engine you'll see another two bolts that need to be removed. I had a tough time getting these two completely out since mine were a bit rusted but they did eventually come off. Once all these bolts are removed, I had to wiggle the muffler out of the bottom of the mower. For the people doing front axle replacement - once the muffler is removed you should have access to the bolt securing the axle.

What John Deere mower hoods will fit a John Deere STX38?
The John Deere STX38 typically uses the same hood design as other models in the STX series, particularly the STX30 and STX46. However, due to variations in production and design changes, it's best to verify compatibility through the part number. For a precise fit, checking with a John Deere dealer or parts catalog is recommended.
