The left rear axle nut on this 49 8N had no lock ring and was barely hand tight. The threads on the axle are serviceable but not great. I am considering getting one of the two piece locking nuts. Has anyone here used this?
 
I had to use one on one of my 8Ns. I didn't have any trouble.
I put the nut portion on, then started the lock portion on but
didn't tighten the lock, just snugged it up to hold the threads.
I tightened both as a unit, then tightened the lock down to hold.
 
I just got the 2 piece nut.
I usually put antisieze on just about everything.
Should I put it on the tapered axle spline?
