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 release the hydro-static transmission on a John Deere stx46?

To release the hydrostatic transmission on a John Deere STX46, locate the release lever, typically found near the rear of the machine. Pull the lever outward to disengage the transmission, which allows the mower to be pushed manually. Ensure the mower is in neutral before releasing the transmission to avoid any unexpected movement. Once you're finished, re-engage the lever to restore normal operation.
