MH 101 Jr RC rear wheels don't spin??

Hello,
I'm near the end of finishing the rebuild on my 101 Jr RC (Single front wheel) and noticed that the rear wheels do not free-wheel by hand with the trans in neutral. Rear end is in the air...
Here's what I've done:
Replaced brake linings (pulled back off to verify it wasn't causing the issue, no help)
removed and reinstalled pto shaft and lift assemblies (to install the evil long bolt on the l/h brake housing for the transmission lube pump.)
removed and reinstalled shifter plate assembly
cleaned decades of gunk out of transmission, etc...

After reassembling (never noticed either way before, as I've had her on casters) the rear wheels don't spin in neutral, solid 'clunk', nothing soft like brakes). I've hand-cranked the motor, and neither rear wheel turns either direction. With it in gears 1-2-3-4-R the wheels turn as the should, or appear to turn as the should.

Any ideas? things to check for, etc...

Thanks in advance...

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have discovered the issue.
Apparently when I replaced the seals for the drive/brake shafts, I didn't wiggle the left shaft enough when installing, and the teeth in the primary planetary gears didn't quite make it to mesh... The nuts/bolts bottomed the same on both sides, bizarre...

Could have been catastrophic, but, problem solved...

Next crisis... :)

I am looking for a Massey Ferguson single wheel or Massey Harris single wheel assembly. Does anyone know where I could find one? Thank you!
