Sorry to hear about your first ride, sound like mine sorta. From the description it sound like the hub not the actual axle right? I would go ahead and weld the hub with out a worry.
Good luck.

I agree about welding the axle. Worst case it just falls off again. But on the bright side you still have 5 more tires. Just be sure to tack it well so it will not pull and get too far out of alignment before you run a bead. If you are using a stick welder I have had good luck tacking with 6010, running a bead of 6010 and covering that with 7018. You may also want to move the re-welded axle to the middle if you are worried about it so it will take less of a beating. I did that and it has worked for me. Best of luck!
