It looks like a M12x1 to me. After looking at the DL website and the markings on this winch and recounting the threads, I believe you are correct. Being it was so old looking, I thought it was made in America. Duh, what was I thinking. Looks like I owe Stump_jumper a beer. Yep, that is about the cost of the nut that is now in my collection. Fortunately I took a collection. This feeder is very difficult to get to. We use a nasty rocky winding road that cedar choppers cut. It turned out that a 1/2" fine thread lug nut worked. It needs a lock nut on it which I now have.

The threads look like 1/2-20 to me. They appear damaged and don't think the correct nut will work without cleaning the threads up with a button die first. Threads are not great but we got the nut on. Some of these winches have springs so we tried one. It was a no go. So we took the nut off. And used the washers. Too many washers first time so took it off again. These winches do not work properly if there is too much pressure on the handle. Winch is welded on the feeder otherwise we would have replaced by now. Due to the road in and out the winch replacement if needed will happen on site.
