To remove the pulley from the transmission on a JOHN DEERe STX38, first, disconnect the battery for safety. Then, remove any guards or covers that may be obstructing access to the pulley. Use a socket wrench to loosen and remove the bolt securing the pulley, and if it's stuck, a puller tool may be necessary to gently pry it off. Finally, clean the area before installing the new pulley to ensure smooth operation.
I'm currently replacing my transmission pully in my yellow deck John Deere STX38. You can not get to it from under the seat. As far as I can see the only way is to drop the transaxle.

Changing a JD STX38 transmission drive belt.Today I undertook removing my almost failed transmission drive belt on a John Deere STX38. In order to do so (it had come off both the engine pulley and the transmission pulley but was not broken), I had to unbolt the brake pedal lock pin, and disconnect the front wheel steering bars (cotter pin and washer holding each bar to the front wheel axels). The belt then could be removed as the steering arms pass under the belt when it is in place, and the bars are attached by cotter pin and washer, one set at the wheels, and another set at the steering arms in the middle of the chassis. There is one idler pulley in a v shape and another idler pulley that is flattened between the transmission and the steering arms. The back of the belt pushes against the flattened pulley, and the inside (v side) of the belt passes the v shaped pulley as these 2 pulleys provide belt tension.
The STX38 fuses are easy to find on a tractor. The fuses are located under the hood.
Fram PH7575 is what I use on my STX38.
The STX38 uses standard 10-30 (any brand).
To remove the rear wheels from an STX38, first, ensure the mower is turned off and on a flat surface. Use a socket or wrench to remove the lug nuts holding the wheels in place. Once the nuts are removed, gently pull the wheel straight off the axle. If the wheel is stuck, you may need to tap it lightly or use a wheel puller for assistance.

To repair the brakes on a STX38, start by lifting the mower and securing it on a flat surface. Remove the wheel and check the brake pads for wear; if they are worn out, replace them. Inspect the brake linkage and springs for any damage or misalignment, adjusting or replacing as necessary. Finally, reassemble the components, ensuring everything is tightened properly, and test the brakes before using the mower again.
