A wheel assembly is disclosed for use with a soil compactor device. The assembly includes a wheel journaled about an axle and carrying a plurality of compacting members at the periphery thereof for compressing soil as the wheel rotates about the axle. A member for mounting the wheel assembly to the compactor device is journaled about the axle. The mounting member is adapted for carrying and rotating the wheel while applying compressive force through the wheel to compact soil with the compacting members. A roller bearing assembly couples the mounting member to the axle and is adapted to absorb both radial and axial loading forces exerted by the wheel and the mounting member. Finally, a mechanism for detachably locking the wheel onto the axle is provided.
