An apparatus for restraining wheel assemblies mounted on an axle assembly. The apparatus comprises a tether assembly and a tensioning mechanism. The tether assembly is extendible through a passage of an axle body and comprises a flexible cable, a first cable end attached to one end of the cable, and a second cable end attached to the other end of the cable. The tensioning mechanism is coupled to the second cable end and includes a first wheel threadingly connected to the second cable end, and a second wheel rotatably coupled to the first wheel in a way that rotation of the second wheel imparts rotational movement to the first wheel to cause the second cable end to move axially away from the first cable end until a preselected tension is applied to the cable upon which the second wheel freewheels relative to the first wheel.
