wilson24 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 On a tour with the HCCA this week. Yesterday, when I made a right turn, I heard a loud thumping from the right rear wheel, so I immediately pulled over and found the right rear wheel, still on the axle but had moved out about 4". Jacked up the car and the wheel fell off. The wheel nut had unscrewed from the axle. There was no locking washer to hold the nut in place. So, I need a locking washer. So far, I have searched the common sites, Bob,s Lang's, Restoration, etc. So I need a source and even the proper name. I am including 2 photos, one from the parts book and one of the washer still on the left side (which also needs to be replaced). Thanks in advance.

Layden B Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Often called a tab washer. Your local bearing supply should have them in a range of sizes. They will probably be in metric sizes but the closest one that will go over the threads should be fine. They do not move when installed so no worry. If you don't find what you need, contact me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lynden. Had not thought about a bearing supply store. I wonder it Granger would have them? There is one close to home so I'll check.

Layden B Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Larry, I do not see a tab on the ID of the Grainger offering. The tab on the ID goes into the axle keyway to keep the washer from turning with the nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raydurr Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Remember that may modern tab washers dont have the key way tab on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Wilson: I had some of these made up for my 1925 Standard application. I will get 2 in the mail for you. They are called out in the 1929 Master Parts book as # 61090 Pinion Shaft Washer D-E-1922-1923-1924 4-cy. 1925 Std.6- used as main shaft lock washer. There is some variation as what I had made up but they will work. When replacing the wheel on the taper check for a good fit. Also make sure the keway and key fit tight. I have had to use sheet metal shims on mine. Before a long tour I still have to retighten the axle nut. At least you did not need a puller..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Wilson: I found your address. The washers were mailed yesterday. I had to get 40 made to get them down to $6.00 each. Most of what has gone went to Europe. Germany and England. But I think I have about 8 left.

Larry, I got them on and they fit perfect, no shims needed. I would like to get 2 more for spares. So that would be $12 more plus postage of $.74 x 2 = $1.48 total postage. So, will owe you $25.48 for 2 sets and postage. Would you like a check, PayPal or credit card? Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Wilson: I only have 3 left. Lou with the 1923 4 cylinder got 2 also sent when I made his water pump packing nuts. I checked and now down to 3. That is 2 left for me and 1 I need to send to the gentleman who made them up. If he will still do them for me. The last time I had to get 40 done to just break even.

The ones you have should last a long while if you're just bending one or maybe two tabs at a time. Even if one breaks off, there are 10 more remaining... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
