Steering Wheel Nut size

[quarkz]

Would anyone be able to cross NSN 5310-00-995-1833?
It is the steering wheel nut on the m35a2.
The part is called for in the TMs but the only desc. is hexagonal nut.
But not the size it looks like a fine thread 7/8-14.
I will try one after I pick it up from True Value.
I found out last night that mine was something larger that was welded into place.

Thanx for any help.

Tony

The nut behind my steering wheel is 5'8" and weighs 180 pounds.

Thanx for the offer little bob,
I found a 7/8 -14 fine thread castle nut with nylon insert at true value and it threaded onto the shaft just fine.
I will try it for a while and check to see if it comes loose. The locking nylon is a nice touch.
Now I just have to find the right smaller steering wheel to fit. THe 5 ton I tried didn't.
Any idea where to find the NSN # on a 5 ton steering wheel?
I wan't able to find a number on the one O have to cross with the TMs.

If I remember correctly, I checked mine with a thread gage and it was like a 7/8 by 20 or 24??? I really believe 14 is way wrong. The center shafts are very easy to cross thread and are soft so installing the nut you may not know it's cross-threaded. Not 100% but would be very curious to have someone check a nut with a gage. I am thinking it's a -20.
