Where have you run into any left hand threads?

O.K. Stackers, On our old iron, specificly, where have you ran into any left hand threads?

My only offer is from my heavy duty '47 Ford truck. The left side lug nuts are all left handed threads, and the right side has right handed threads.

Like the trivia threads! Keep them coming....

On my Sandwich saw rig the arbor nut for the blade is 1-3/8 x 6 L.H.

I used one today. How about the grease cap on the end of my IHC 1-1/2 M crankshaft.

I had a dishpan Fairbanks engine once that had a left hand thread on the pin for the cam roller, I think. I can't remember exactly.

Thats a simple one!! The governor spindle and gear on Hercules and many other ones, has left handed threads!

Most Early Briggs Engine Flywheel nuts have left handed treads ~ Jonathan

Mouldboard plow bolts often have backwards threads.

The John Deere "E" engines like Doug said, have a left handed threaded shaft on the governor gear. Easy to break . Don't even ask how I know . Paul

Most Ford trucks and vans over here had left handed wheel nuts and studs on the left hand side up untill the mid to late eighties.
