What nut goes on the PTO side of a saw?
Does the nut have to be reverse thread?

It is typical for the threads on the PTO end of the chainsaw
crankshaft to be Left hand threads. The internally threaded
clutches have left hand threads and also the ones with nuts on
the outside to also be left hand threaded.

There's many large frame Homelites such as the C-series (and the
XP-series saws without auto oilers). They have a RH thread nut
on the end of the crank to hold the clutch drum and washers
on......................and a LH threaded section for the clutch
hub. 8)
The Homelite Super 2100 (and the Pioneer P-60 through P-62,
Pioneer/Partner P-65, and PoulanPro 655) have a spllined crank
snout and clutch hub and a RH thread nut.
Many old Macs have a RH thread nut and a tapered crank snout
with a key. Some Mac Kart engines have a LH threaded nut
instead.
Some old Macs have a clutch hub that's threaded on a LH threaded
crank snout.
