A few years ago, I had a Model A that we had to add a washer to the drivers side rear axel to be able to use cotter pin with nut. If you need to add washer, make sure it’s steel.
Pulled drum, replaced key, tighten axel nut to 100 foot pounds. Key hole was to far out to hold nut in place. Adding washer solved problem. Drum turned properly without binding. Enjoy.
