Thanks, to be honest, I never noticed the exclusion. I am entering another build in the next couple of days.  This one is going to be a fun woods or whatever built vs. this build which is for working.

I fixed the Murray's brakes, for free except for labor time, changed all the fuel lines, added a better filter, and shut off valve. Made a video of the repairs. Then used it to pull 5 carts full of firewood.  Lessons learned:

#1) If you are stalled on a hill under full throttle and the wheels are not moving, the belt probably is moving.  

#2) Rocking side to side while spinning wheels going up hill on mud and leaves is no substitute for a locked rear end.

#3) The only brake parts off a F-N-R that transfer readily to a MST-206 are the pads.  Which saved me $18 and two days of waiting from an Amazon order.

#4) When pulling 300+ pounds of firewood, a two wheel cart with a ball coupler that puts weight on the rear end is probably a better choice then a 300# 4 wheel cart cart that can not be backed down straight that puts no weight on the rear axle and just creates draw bar drag.

#5) Getting stuck on my property with a riding lawn mower Topics tagged under 1 on All-Terrain Lawn Tractor Forum 102878487

is a much better time then getting drenched in gear oil from a truck's rear axle at work. Topics tagged under 1 on All-Terrain Lawn Tractor Forum 1098998679
