Any ideas where I can find this locally??

[acog1988]

The axel nut for my Rhino came off last week while driving. I've got one on order but it won't make it here until next week and I need it for a hog hunt tomorrow. I've tried Ace, Tractor Supply, Fastenal, and two local motorcycle shops with no luck. Any body have an extra or got a lead where I can find one? Thanks for any help!

It can't be retorqued back on? Even temporarily with mild loctite ?
or did you lose it completely?

I never found the nut.

If Fastenal didn't have something that would work, I'm out of ideas. Probably not the factory nut, but maybe at least something in the same thread? Of course, Yamaha could easily have something weird on it.

How about a hose clamp and some Devcon? (kidding mostly)... duct tape?

Are the axle threads special? Have you tried Napa? They should have a selection of c.v. axle nuts that are suppose to be replaced when taken off, etc.,
Just thinking out loudout loud

Having not seen the rotor, can you remove the lug and replace with a carriage bolt and nylok nut?

Any local Yamaha shops in your area? There is one down here in Byron right off of 75 that I use for my Rhino, and they always have oddball stuff in stock.

Im not completely sure but Advance and the others may carry them as well....it looks like a c.v.axle nut...but can't never tell. Good luck!

Its not the lug nut but the axel nut that holds the wheel hub to the cv axel but thank you anyways.
