Wheel clamp locknut

SVcummins · Feb 1, 2018

Anybody use one of these ?

Butch. · Feb 1, 2018

Never used one but it looks like a good idea.
It looks like it will clean threads on old shafts with the slots in it.

What I get a kick out of is people saying a nut is the wrong size on some forums.
They say it won't thread on by hand.
Many locking style nuts won't even when they are the right size.

I bet that nut you posted won't go on by hand either but then again who knows.
I'm wrong more than I am right according to some people but I mean well. lol

So its pretty much just a thread chaser

JD Seller · Feb 2, 2018

They work well. They are NOT a thread chaser. You leave the outer nut lose. Then turn the inner nut to adjust your wheel bearings. Then you hold the inner nut and tighten the outer nut. It clamps the entire nut to the spindle. They will hold a nut on a shaft that ahs been damaged when the wheel bearings go out. I have also used them on spindles that have had the nuts striped by being overloaded, like a loader or hitting a hole.

Looks like it would wook good. I wish I had one several times.

I have used those several times on John Deere's that had worn out/stripped threads on the spindles that a regular nut would not hold. These will squeeze down into the worn out threads like a collet. RUN A THREAD CHASER on BEFORE you install these. They really work well. I would buy them from a local Ford tractor dealer as they are OEM on some Fords.

I have had several on Farmalls, especially C's, where a nut would not stay tight on spindle.

SV ..... doesn't a thread chaser thread on and then off? I don't think this gizmo is a thread chaser, it might be a gizmo. Someone mentioned maybe using a thread chaser first which I guess a person could do if the gizmo didn't thread on properly to begin with.

Well that just explains that I guess.

That's a great idea, I have never seen one before. It seems like there is some confusion about what they are though! I would thing you should chase the threads first with a die nut, and then adjust this special nut to where it fits the threads before tightening it, and then lock it.

yes A thread chaser you screw on too clean up damaged threads then you remove it and use a new nut . I guess this thing replaces the worn thread and all

Thanks.

SVcummins · Feb 2, 2018

I finally get it thanks for explaining it for me I just couldn't quite figure out how they worked

Royse · Feb 2, 2018

The ones I used were the same style, different size.
As JD Seller said, leave the outer locknut loose, BUT make
sure it is on there when you thread it on. Otherwise the sections
will spread apart and you may not be able to get it back on.
Not to mention the outer one being kind of snug helps keep it
from stripping out while you're installing it on damaged threads.
