- John Deere STX38 was called possessed by its former owner. Is it possessed or just needing a little love? Come hang out with me in the garage while we wrench on this little green machine.

Hey Thanks for the tip on heating the float.
I’m glad you found it helpful. Thanks for letting me know!
I was waiting for you to find the loose ground wire. Have a Stx38 yellow deck since 1990. Just had to reattach the engine to the frame as only the ground bolt was still holding it on. Started to vibrate last fall and I didnt get to investigating the issue until this spring. Once I got all 4 bolts back in with blue locktite, no more vibration.
The owner of this STX fought with it for a long time. Fortunately it was a simple fix. Thank you for your comment.
Great video, Gary. I just picked up one of these (freebie) and the deck is not working. Now I know where to check for the problem.
Thank you for the comment and I hope your fix will be as simple as mine was.
nice work troubleshooting and getting it working
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
that lawn mower please take a look at the blades are upside down on STX38
Yes, I noticed they were upside down while I was editing the video and I did correct it. Thank you for the comment.
Watch the temperature of the cheap carb. I ran one and it felt OK and I noticed it was actually lean because the engine got much hotter. Hotter than I wanted to risk.
I can see that happening with cheap aftermarket carburetors.
Great video
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
Them John Deere from that error has the worst hoods than any other mower ever made. I don't think I've ever seen one that functioned as it should. Great video.
John Deere certainly made the worst hoods back then. Thank you for the comment.
@@GaryAhl My hood has been perfect since 1989. User friendly as well.
My stx38 is 34 yrs old and has the original hood in non broken condition. I’ve never had a problem with it, but it is a PITA to take off and on.
My 1990 stx38 still has its original hood in one piece and my only complaint is how difficult it is to remove. I have gotten better at that after diagnosing my recent engine vibration issue. Now if I can remember how to take it off the next time I will be doing great. Chances are I will forget and will need to figure it out all over again. Getting old sucks.
I’ve got a yellow deck and the steering won’t work. 😢
It shouldn’t be that hard to fix. A couple of hours and a few TH-cam videos and you’ll have it up and running. Thank you for the comment!
Would cut better with both blades not upside down😂
Lol, I didn’t catch that until after the video was posted. It sure does cut better with the blades on the right way!
Also a wire rapped around the spindle......🙄
Hey, I have a lot of questions about your 53’ dodge b3, is there anyway I can get in contact with you via email? I’m restoring one in my class at school!
If you go to my TH-cam home page and click on the “About” tab you’ll find my contact info.
dont do it with the hood, lol
It did feel a bit wrong putting a Craftsman hood on a John Deere.
how did JD avoid a billion in Class Action suites for the millions of self destructing hoods and seats they slammed down in our possession. abysmal
Thank you for the comment.
