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

is a much better time then getting drenched in gear oil from a truck's rear axle at work.

Already working on a new power plant. 20hp intek v twin, kinda dug into it this summer, seemed to have weak compression, and a stripped spark plug hole. Been working alot on it lately. Rings were toast, but pistons and cylender walls seem fine. Cylinder #2's connecting rod journal is pretty beat up to, too grooved to save, crank hhad some light witness marks that cleaned up good with a shoestring style polish job.new rings, gasket set, connecting rod and carburetor on the way. Did a quick hone with my glaze remover to. Gonna do a quick valve job aswell. Got those spark plug treads all fixed up now. Everything's all cleaned and just waiting on parts now!
