 Shaft prop nut creeping up to seal collar
Having a problem with nut between prop and seal collar creeping up to the collar. Any ideas how to keep it against the prop? BTW it's an OLD 8hp go-devil. When I got it not too long ago it was riding on the seal so I lowered the nuts prop etc. per go-devil cause it'll seize now it won't stay down

If there is room on the threads to use two jam nuts in front of the prop? Take those two and crank 'em together on the shaft to act as a stop.

What I was saying is that the threads shouldn't be that close I the seal to begin with.

 Re: Shaft prop nut creeping up to seal collar
unless hes just using to soft of a nut then it would push through the threads on the nut
