Abstract
The assembly comprises a beam, a support wheel rotatably mounted on an axle carried by the beam with a stub shaft. A hole in the frame of the baler which receives the stub shaft includes at least one radial recess dimensioned to permit the radially projecting arm to pass through the hole when aligned with the recess, the arm preventing the stub shaft from moving axially relative to the frame when misaligned with the recess.
