I'm not too familiar with the Deere stuff, but I have run a little SX75 and an STX 38, and worked a bit on both. The STX was much easier due to its conventional layout, but both machines seemed nicely built, before the advent of the big box consumer marketing ponzi scheme machines we're witnessing now by a lot of manufacturers, not just JD.

As a child my dad purchased an old 1959 Wheel Horse. Had a pull start Briggs & Stratton. POS!
He traded it in for a 1965 Wheel Horse "Lawn Ranger" with a Kohler. Tractor lasted until 1983 after replacing 2 blown engines.
After my experiences with Wheel Horse, John Deere was the only way I was going to go. Purchased a JD 240 with a 14hp Kawasaki FC420V engine.
Still runs to this day. Wouldn't trade it in for the world. Having some carb issues but I'm sure they will get resolved. Tractor owes me nothing.
