I got some from McMaster. They are just a right hand and a left hand fine thread nut.

Only the nuts? If you still have the flanges---especially the inner ones---you lucked out!

These threads are not NF or NC they are something else I will continue to search

On my 7307D Baldor, the threads are square (Acme?) style.
Try The Bolt Depot. https://www.boltdepot.com/
The inner flanges have 'key-way' notches which engage roll-pins on the arbor/shaft, to help keep the flange/stone/wheel secured on the arbor/shaft.

Thanks torqueman for the nut info, and you summed up the roll pin discription very well. Just got it back together came out ok. I tore it down to the bearings and everything looked good except the rotor had some ware spots, probably from being used for twenty years. It had a Allied Signal inventory sticker on it and a lot of of slag in the wheel guards but it still turns with little to no vibration.

You are welcome.
Nice color, what did you use?
Baldors are built like tanks and can be run hard and 'put away wet'.

Just tried a NC 5/8 -11 and it works but there is a little play when threading it on but snugs up tight. It will have to do for now, Copper State nut and bolt in AZ has left had bolts picking one up tomorrow thanks for the help everyone. Rustoleum Gloss Charcoal Gray
