Presumably because they were easy to forge square or were turned from square bar in those days. They were probably 'high tech' in those days. OK things have moved on, but square nuts were used on adjustable plough parts for a long time for a very good reason - the spanners supplied were fit for the job and the nuts lasted a long time. It was easy for the local 'engineer' to make new nuts from square bar - drill it, thread it, cut it off as required. New spanners were easy too. Maybe you fit metric hardware, after reaming the holes to the next size up, or fit socket head set screws!?! Me, I will replace with original if it's appropriate, wherever possible. It's so easy to make a decent copy of the old one, even if the thread is slightly different.
