Sourcing a Locknut for Wadkin AGS 10

[samweb132]

Hi guys, bought an old wadkin AGS 10 that Is missing the blade nut. Does anyone have any specifications or knowledge on where to buy one, whether any other lock nuts fit or the the standard type of thread that the saw comes with.

Last resort is to take the spindle out and take to a machine shop but would rather not deal with the hassle if possible. Any Contributons appreciated!

I believe it’s a 5/8” left hand square thread. Think rocking horse doo doo……but I might have one buried in storage with my machines.

Have been asking about and have heard a few comments saying it's a 5/8-18 square or acme left handed thread. Finding them in the uk seems to be a challenge though!
