Default Vice mounting

I picked up a vice at a yard sale the other week. I honestly didn't look at it carefully at the time because it looked to be a good size (maybe 6" open) and it was $5. I got it home and it is a C. Parker Number 2 vice with patent dates from the late 1800's. I thought cool, its really old, still solid and still works, right up my alley. Fast forward to today when I went to mount it...how do you properly mount it? The base is gusseted on the bottom right up to the forward mounting holes. Should I mortise out the edge of my workbench so the gusset sits in the recess or cap a C-channel with plate and notch the plate to fit the vice and then bolt the channel to the leg of my workbench? What would you guys do?

Maybe mount it temporary to see if it performs well. If so, then modify your bench to your liking.

You could always make an adapter plate to keep from altering your bench.

VERY nice "get". As far as the price, you suck

You got me thinking steve, so I took another look at it today and measured the base. I think I can notch the side of a 2x8 and use that as an adapter under the vice and not have to alter my workbench.

Thanks Jeff, I was wondering if there was a more elegant solution, but I think an adapter is the way to go. I tried googling for information and it brought up a couple machinist websites, apparently you guys like them. I didn't find much info on my model, but everyone talked highly of them.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
