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.
The engine mount bolts on a John Deere STX38 are typically 3/8-inch in diameter. It's important to check the specific service manual for your model, as bolt sizes can vary slightly based on manufacturing variations. Always use the recommended torque specifications when reinstalling bolts to ensure proper engine mounting.
