The owners manual refers to the nut as a lock nut and that the nut should be replaced with a new nut after removal. I'm not the original owner of this equipment, don't know if this is OEM but it doesn't look like a locking nut. Any information would be appreciated.

Looks exactly like a prevailing torque lock nut to me.

Thanks for the education! I wasn't familiar with this type of locking nut. Removing it distorts the locking threads necessitating is replacement. That also explains the torque spec, 450 ft-lbs.
