I used Locktite® on my Falk #1 drive axles because of having to put them in
a quartering jig and rotate them quickly for proper quartering. Falk has
seen a fair amount of running, and so far no problem. I really ought to
drill into the interface of the wheels and axles and glue in something like
a 1/8" diameter pin as a key. This way if one of the wheels ever does want
to slip, it can't. I fixed Charles' Gool Bug that way when I quartered it.
Jerry Deaton had originally relied on Locktite, but the engine jammed
against a loose packing gland and one crank rotated about 90° out of
position.
