Just wonted to show off my Yost 33c vise. It was given to me in disrepair, the spindle collar set screw had come lose and the vise was locked, after some time I got it apart, I cleaned up the acme threads, turned down/out the pipe wrench marks on the spindle boss, made a new collar and spindle boss rod, the paint is some military green but I like it......I know im not suppose to paint the ram part of the moving section but this will be under the shed on a big pipe so I wonted some anti rust protection, 0$ invested, about 2 1/2 hours labor.....

Verry nice score. I shure would like to come across a nice vice that size.
 
Very nice! It's amazing what a guy can come up with if he keeps his eyes open!
 
you did a nice job on that it looks like it is new I have a big vice like that I use 8 to 10 times a day it is my third hand and for $0 what a deal
 
Thanks for the comments, I am stoked on how it came out....I will put this big sucker on a 6" pipe and plant it in cement under the shop overhang.....
 
Wow man! That's beautiful!! Nice job- that is a real beast
