Ok I just put together an 52”Ohio Steel lawn sweeper yesterday. I carefully used it a couple hours raking up the built up grass in the yard. I do mean carefully too. Regular mowing speed no logs rocks ect . looking back I see a wheel fell off . Then I see the wheel has some good nicks in the cast in plastic teeth ouch. I push back the axle to see the other one gnawed almost to nothing totally shot.
The thing came fully assembled in that drive part wheels on and all. So whatever happened I must have done it, the question is what??? My only thought is possibly I took too tight a turns as when mowing the last part of a yard. i see people towing these things behind ATVs really moving . All I was using was my Simplicity garden tractor.. Nonit never hit or scraped anything just wheel popped off Which if I don’t miss my guess was held on with a Push Pin. I didn’t bother really checking it out as it was getting ready to pour and ther was a tru load of grass to unload. So what did I do so I don’t do this again
