My new vise. Red seal no. 66
Hello gents,
I purchased this American Scale Co Red Seal no. 66 vise. A lady was liquidating her deceased husband's tools and this was listed for $75. I posted the pics to coax a little help from the gurus (with many vises). This vice is missing the 5/8" swivel cleats and handles. What is the best way to fabricate or source this hardware? I bought some 5/8 carriage bolts but the flats don't quite fill the swivel slot. My next thought is to use T-nuts in the slots and grind them to fit the curved slot. Thus far I have wire wheeled and greased all the machined surfaces. There was a lot of paint where it didn't belong. BTW what was the original color? I'm inclined to leave the paint as-is to show the age and history, but I will oil it liberally. I removed the jaws, clean and greased under them. The darn thing is so big, 24" long and 156lbs, that I may build an outdoor workbench for it. I already have a decent HF 5" vise/anvil that I like in my garage. I don't really have room for big bertha in there. Here are the before pics with paint where it doesn't belong.

You did good June bug, a man can never have too big a vise,
too much money or too big a barn/shop. i'd leave it be. It will get pounded on, sprayed with many colors, anointed with grease,blood and welding spatter. Also overheated with torches of various styles and strained with pipe extensions on the handle. Mine is well over 100 year's old as it was dads. I wore the thread out and had to make another on the lathe. it is not a swivel style and I have never needed it to swivel. bolt her solid and enjoy it. |

My bench vise is a swivel milling vise,, it weighs over 150 pounds,,
so the swivel bolts should be similar,, here is a pic of the inside,, you can see the bolt heads are square. The two nuts, and cleats are to the right in that pic,, Here is a pic of it assembled,, with a quart bottle for scale,, here is how I lifted it onto the bench,, |

This is for a Wilton but maybe will work for you or perhaps they have others

Thanks guys, all good advice. I believe the cleats are like this Wilton cleate from ebay because my base has similar "serrations". I just don't know if it will fit.

After I cleaned the paint from all the machined surfaces inside and out, I greased it up and snapped a pic to show the scale of big bertha next to my tiny 5" HF vise. I used to think that was a big vise.

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.
