it surprised me.

What the heck, I will throw out a guess of 120lbs. I know some of them old steel wheels are heavy as all get out.
 
Surflex tiller transport wheel assy. All I remember is it was hard
to lower the rubber tire and raise the steel wheel. We finally carried
a hydraulic jack to raise the frame as we cranked the transport wheel down.
 
actually Jim is the closest. i came up with 620 lbs. the weights are 75 lbs each. i had to weight it all as i was curious on its weight. it raises and lowers pretty good, but the secret is to have those threads well greased and there is a grease nipple for them too. i just got this thing out of the junk from my brother. everything was all seized up. had to remove 2 gangs and get those swivel mounts all unseized, it would not lower. that was a 5 hr. job. had to put tires on it also. but it does a pretty good job. wish i would have got one sooner.
 
A few years ago I was using Grandpa's surflex when the outer bearing on that wheel shelled out and dropped wheel and all in the field. I don't even remember how two of us got that thing back on there.

A local Ag/weld shop happened to have the bearings and races we needed. They were in a pile of NOS Deere and other bearings. Myself and the owner's Dad (the old man started the business in the 1940's) dug through them and found the right ones. He was in his late 80's. He's still going at 90+.
 
That looks a lot like the rear furrow wheel of a JD surflex tiller (called diskers here) just like the one I used last week. I've only ever seen them with the single rear wheel with all the cast weights in it. No idea the weight but we'd unbolt the cast weights if we ever had to do anything with that wheel.
