Self-locking nut
Self-locking nut for the rear wheel assembly, catalog number 37-1495 (also W1495).
This is a self-locking nut used at the rear wheel, catalog number 37-1495, also seen under the earlier W1495 designation. It shows up in the rear wheel figures across the catalog appearances we have on file, spanning the mid-1960s.

A self-locking nut like this holds tension on its own without a separate lock washer or tab, which matters at a wheel spindle or hub fastener where vibration can work a plain nut loose over time. If you're replacing one, it's worth putting in a fresh self-locking nut rather than reusing the old one, since the locking feature wears out with repeated use.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond its place in the rear wheel assembly. Call the shop and we'll confirm exactly where it goes on your bike before you order.
