I'm confused! If you mean the actual stub axle thread then I can help. It is 5/8" 16 tpi 55 degrees. I could not find taps or dies to suit and have never seen them around. I have just finished cleaning some up, I ended up using a 60 degree needle file and it took me hours! The thread file I had was useless. I was careful and started from the inside and worked out. I bought two new nuts but one of those need opening up .005" and the thread re-cut slightly on the lathe to suit as well. This might be what you are after?
