Maybe I didn't use the right words at McMaster-Carr, but I didn't spot
a 5/8-20 nut there. I need one for my tool and cutter grinder. I
suppose if I have to I can make one on my lathe, but it would be
easier to buy one if they're available somewhere. Where can you find
odd size nuts?

Try google, they are plentiful.

Damn! Now that you make mention, it's not all that funny being saddled with
those little suckers. :-)

Doh! How obvious. The first or second link is to a Harley supply co.
I may be able to source that locally if Harley's use that thread.
Thanks.

I would bet a nickel that Harley dealers would carry them.

A bit late to be helpful probably, but I needed a 3/4 16 nut to make a
specialty puller/lifter the other day. Of course none of the local hardware
or box stores had anything, but 3/4-10. I stopped by the local Copperstate
bolt and they had it in field grade 2, grade 5, and grade 8 as well as
extended length nuts. The extended length was exactly what I had hoped to
find. Job done.
