Default Tensioner nut cosw

Ok, what is so special with the original nut on the tensioner on the cossies? Have been using regular nut and washer for years never been an issue....is it a locknut? Is it supposed to be used without a washer?

What do people normally use? Locknut with or without washer? Regular nut w washer? Std ford nut without washer
