RD-17 crank threads

[trex014]

Does anyone know what the threads are for a RD-17 crankshaft? I need to chase the threads on a rusty one but cannot figure out the size so I can get a correct size die.
Thanks

Don’t have one handy to measure, but it is either 9/16-18 or 5/8-18. I think 9/16.. You can measure it with any ruler.

My RD-18 is 9/16-18. Yours should be the same.
