I like it. Reusable too.

N-10, is that a Bearhug partnumber?

Wes

N-10 is a standard industry description. It is a strange
thread being 1.967in. o.d. and 18 tpi! The bearing this
one
is intended for is 50mm bore. Look in MH for locknuts
and you'll find a listing of these sizes. This is a nice
schoolhouse lesson, btw.... What is the problem, what is
a viable solution, how do you machine it? ;)) phil


i would buy one at the local bearing house. I just
bought a N20 nut for 7 bucks.

John

The standard N-10 locknut will not stay put on the bearing
of a
log truck loader clam, unless of course you weld it in
place. ;))
Mine won't back off but is far more expensive to make. And
in
the long haul is far far cheaper. When that cheap POS nut
fails
you're looking at possibly $3k in damages! Take your
pick....
