Yes.

No, but this sounds like a very good idea, never thought about that. Maybe we will try this next year.

We've run probably 20 of the wheels without any problems at all. Many of them are multiple-season use.

I'm curious - were you using chain? If so, what gauge? Was the chain aligned properly from front to back - i.e. was it perfectly perpendicular to the shaft the wheel was running on, or was it pulling at an angle? How tight did you have it?
We were using #25 chain and it was aligned from front to back fairly well, and was pulling perpendicular to the shaft until the wheel started to deform. Once the wheel was wobbling though, the chain just popped right off. It did have a fairly good amount of tension in it as well.
