Well, the washer & nut can turn together, unless the
washer is keyed to
the shaft (I have stuff with that approach), or the washer
is so soft
that it is mashed into the material being held.

This is the log loader clam swivel bearing that is being
retained.
There are no thin bendable tab washers that will survive the
beating
which is why I chose the 3/16 thick holed washer approach.
Apparently the most secure method of choice is weld metal!
Even when the tack weld breaks it ain't coming
apart...........
Only a purist would want a locknut setup like mine. ;))
