Happened to notice 2511 does not have, never has had, washers under the stub axle nuts.
Item #17 in the photo.
Parts catalog error or am I missing them?

You are. They are special ,machined washers. Not the average stamped washer.

Larry, stock washers are quite thick and are flat on the nut-contact side and cut with a slight dome on the side that contacts the stub axle, which is machined with a matching cupped-surface. Why, I don't understand. I've seen any number of axles with the washer installed upside-down; at 400-or-so ft-lbs of torque, nearly any washer will "become" spherical on the axle side. Without the washer and depending on the tolerance stack-up, the nut may bottom in the axle threads before contacting the axle during torquing. I've also seen many where the p/n 9-A dust shield is gone. Are you still running those Quella-conversion tapered roller bearings?
Well turns out there was a washer, it had fallen down onto the upright when I pulled the stub axle.
Yes, still running the tapered bearing conversion and always install inner and outer bearing seals.
