Hey all, I know this is an old thread but I’m hoping I can help someone with the problems I faced. My hood broke completely off on my STX38. And I wasn’t going to pay $400 for a hood considering I paid $400 for the mower itself. I was lucky that my grandfather had an extra hood from a LT155. With slight modifications it fits really well. I’m hoping this will help someone else with another option for a hood.
