Call the Sear's 800 number with your model number of the saw, and they'll ship one out to you. I've ordered numerous parts from them that way.

Since you don't have the model number this might be a problem. I would call the Sears 800 number and be ready to give them a good description of your saw. It probably isn't too old and I would suspect that those parts were used on several models.

By me ( in So California ) in the next town over (San Bernardino)
there's a Sears parts store.
Maybe you can find one by you and bring the saw with you so they can indentify it?

Trying to visualize your problem. If the blade arbor's still there, could you measure its diameter and thread pitch then go to the hardware store and buy a nut and washer? Pure speculation.
