Thanks Tom. You’re correct, the nut was broken straight across the bottom. The spring was broken in the middle. Looks to have been broken for years before the motor was retired. As I posted later, a machinist/welder seems to think the nut is broken so cleanly and evenly it can be repaired. I’m looking for the method of proper tightening and securing it. Thanks for your reply.
