marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Yes, thats what I first thought, that the Nut had come loose. Been done before; that the axles were installed on the wrong sides. The left side (Drivers-in America) Has the 'Left-Hand' Thread so the torque of 'forward rotation' keeps tightening the nut, and keeps it Tight! And Visa-Versa for the Right side. I machined the '4-Prong' Tool in School, lathed and Milled it out of Chrome-Moly in about 3 hours. Perfect Fit onto the Nut! Drilled a 3/4" Hole through it, so a 3/4", 4 foot Bar of steel could be used to touque The Nuts on. The torque setting? As tight as You can get it!! You'll Know You attained the Correct Torque, because You won't be able to rotate the nut any further!! Don't ask Me to Machine one for You, it would be way too expensive...
