I actually used a 15/16 socket with a 1/2 drive rachtet and tightend it tighter than I could ever with that plastic tool.
It came off about 4 times before retiring for the day.
I put it on so tight that I think if I went any tighter it would actually snap the rim at the hub.
The nut is dug into the wheel maybe 1/16 deep already.
I even tryied using thed lock before when my old wheels kept falling off.
I think a reverse threaded hub on that side would actually try to tighten it self instead of wanting to spin off.

Now for the hell off it I took off one front nut and the problem rear and on reinstall the front nut seamed to grip the rear wheel better.
Maybe the nuts teeth are just worn.
I will see tommorrow when it's light out.
The neibors probally would not like me running a chain saw up and down the road at almost 10pm

OK guys here's the update.
So I took it outside today and as soon as I pulled the cord it pulled rough all the way out.
I took it in the house and went to work knowing I failed before on a nitro pull start.
But 20 minutes of messing with it ,it was good to go.
Layed it down fired right up first pull.
Beat the crap out of it for 3/4 a tank and the wheel stayed put for once.
Actually had some fun.
I guess I will have to make a vid for you guys since the wheel is holding on.
"The NUT was definitly the issue."
About the only thing that happend this run was the pipe came a little loose and was rattling.
No biggie there.
I'm living in NC so everyone knows.
Nothing funny about the knoby rovan tires ripping 20+ feet of posi marks threw my grass.
