All, There's also the option of getting a couple of extra nuts and seeing which one tightens up properly and lets the cotter pin holes align. There will be variation in the nuts as to where the thread starts and you can use that to your advantage.

 I'd be more inclined to grind the washer rather than the nut, which could leave a sharp edge to rub on the bolt.  Or make a new washer out of shim stock.

   Dana,

    

   That's a good idea. to thin the washer rather than the nut.

I had the same problem, the castle nut was either too loose or too tight from one cotter pin detent to the next.   John H advice is the best to use the thinner washers as needed, but I did not have any of John H non standard thickness washers, so I ground down a washer until it was perfect.  I figured if I ruined a washer, no harm done, just get another one and try again.



Don't forget to grease that fitting in all exposed metal and everywhere it moves.  This way you can have a tighter fitting, less play, without binding.  It also protects the threads, and everything in there from corrosion.
