In case the geometry isn't clear, here's an overall shot of the wheel assembly. It pivots on the bolt at the back, so when the front is pushed down and locked, the wheel contacts the ground and the frame of the coop lifts up about an inch or so. The wheel is attached to the pivoting arm with a carriage bolt.

From this picture I think I am realizing the answer to my other question.

The metal allows the bolt to stay in a set location and the wheel has enough play side to side to pop onto the bolt head when the tractor is lifted.
