Don't feel too bad captain, we had a couple of truck mounted brooms when I was working, and we had to keep a couple of spare tires and wheels for them. Our steering wheel holders would destroy one at least every couple of weeks. We finally ended up with 10 ply tires foam filled to get much work out of them. You're not the first to break one of these assemblies.

Mitch S not sure what he is going to end up with, Mike will make it right! Thanks for watching!

The newer wheels will probably be worse how things are built these days. I'd probably just weld it back up and then weld some small gussets from the hub to the wheel. Be super easy and just cost you a little bit of time and definitely be stronger than the new ones but the bearings and hub looks to be fairly light duty too.

The second scariest thing in the world, a truck driver with tools! 😉 I think that wheel was wobbling in previous videos of that attachment. It probably needs a wheel that bolts to a hub. We had a sweeper attachment for a Cat IT28 loader that was designed to be used with the boom in the float position and adjust the height using the tilt function. The operators couldn't seem to figure out how to lock it into float without blowing the sweeper tires trying to lift the front wheels of the loader off the ground.

Those are transport wheels, not designed for any kind of load. If you're going to put the blade down, sooner or later, it's going to get sucked down and (over)load those wheels.
