HarryS Posted Monday at 05:04 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:04 PM Anyone know of a source for the locking washer as shown? The axle is a FA 505. The OD of the washer is 2 1/5" and ID is 1 1/4". I don't think this one can stand another bend. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted Monday at 08:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:00 PM Meritor (formally Euclid) has those things in their catalog. Look up the number, then do a Google search and mail order what you need. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM (edited) Meritor doesn't sell direct Punch that number (R004868) into you search engine and see what pops up. I get a whole bunch of retailers. Just noticed the 5/32" thickness, that will not likely work for you. almost 3/16" not sure you could bend it over.

The one mentioned must be the washer between the outer bearing and first lock nut. The other thing I thought of would be to dress down and flatten the damaged part and bend over the outer lock nut at a fresh location. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a high casualty item. I checked with a local old time drive line shop and they said they hadn't seen those for years. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I'd likely flatten it out, heat it red hot and allow to cool slowly in sand. That should anneal it to make what is left usable. If you could hold the inner nut tight enough so you could really crank down on the outer (jamming them together) it would be good enough. Have to be careful not to change the pre-load when they are jamming, it will tend to reduce the clearance as the inner nut is pushed against its threads by the outer. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago I'm going to see how much I can salvage. I think there is enough to make it work. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I think you can... Besides,,, if you put the hub back on with new bearings and seal and do clean work, you wont ever need to do it again. Hell, trace it out on a peice of cereal box cardboard to make a template, and make one from some thin steel later on. You wont 'f' it up, and you will have an extra. Just sayin'.... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian L Blaylock Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I realize that it would be a little bit to the extreme but if the one listed above is to thick would it be possible to tack weld it to a piece of round stock and chuck it into a lathe and turn it down and then remove the round stock and dress the welded area as needed Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76221-b-61-spindle-locking-washer/#findComment-586976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
