Have you ever serviced the hydrostatic transaxle?I believe the JD 318 had a servicable hydro unit. To answer your questions- John Deere manufactures all thr x300,x500,x700 series tractor. The differences are well explained by PeterE's post. I have an x320 ( very satisfied with it)which has been replaced by the current model X380. That would be a starting point unless you want more features. If you have relatively flat ground you may want to consider a zero-turn instead of a tractor.I would suggest trying a couple out to be sure you like them. You could set up the 318 with a snowblower and leave it on so less fighting with switching implements. Not sure what to recommend as to best time of the year to buy, and this year will probably be atypical due to the virus/economic situation. My dad used to try and buy around the end of the calender year or midwinter and get a "leftover" model , this was in the 1990's-2000's. I feel the decks are relatively easy to get off the JD garden tractors but it does involve getting down on your hands and knees a little.
