The one I have is 1/2-20. I think I have an extra that is 3/8-24 diameter What diameter and thread pitch are you talking about

As title says the pully came off the generator shaft. Radiator destroyed. Evidently the nut backed off. When the fan hit the radiator the pully cracked on the generator side. Well I have a replacement pully and recored the radiator. I think a locknut would be in order. Not sure weather to...
