Hi. For a while I worked in a heavy equipment shop here, and our boss
never would let us put lock washers on any nuts and bolts unless they
were of a very good grade. If you put the cheap steel lockwashers on,
they will rust out and fall out, then the nuts are loose on the bolts.
We used to see that all the time when stuff came in to be worked on. 73
