David,
Celebrate, you bought an old used mil, tore it down to clean and inspect.
You found no significant issues from what I have read. You did well sir.
Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we learn hard lessons.

Thank you
I do feel quite fortunate. It is pretty much exactly what I wanted, in good condition at price point that was fair for my location.
I found a good quality vise on sale and likewise the hoist was also on a deep discount.
Lucky all the way around.

"no significant issues", That is a major -plus-, given what I saw on the one here awhile back.
 
It lives!
Thanks to all who helped on my voltage conversion question yesterday.
Got a plug this morning and wired it up.
Yowsa! It’s a beast

I’m sure it would but I only have one T-nut for my vise :(

You mean you don't have a 3D replicator?

You have a file? A drill? A 3/8x16 tap?

Or you could take a carriage bolt and shape the head by hand to fit your slots and then use a regular nut on the other end to hold the vise down while you make a T nut.
 
Do you have a clamping set yet?
 
I plan to buy a clamping set tomorrow.
I thought that I had a suitable piece of stock to make some T-nuts but when I attempted some layout I could not scratch it nor could I mark it with a file.
So I think I have a 10” x .75x.75” length of very hard steel.
