That's us at overlandmetric.com We specialize in JIS hardware, custom manufactured for Land Cruisers, but also correct for many other automotive and machinery applications. I've used our 316 stainless hardware and our plated carbon steel hardware on Yanmar Diesels, Yamaha outboards, tractors...

It is in the same style as the one in this thread: one top screw, and the top would be thinner than the "legs" due to the offset in the vise... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134751 Not sure if the size would be the same though, as that is a 3-1/2, and the 105 is a 4-1/2

I'd be interested in one of the 4in'ers if you are going to sell them?

Can you take some measurements of the collar? The shaft on the 105 is 0.88". The outside of the collar would be around 2.72" Does it have two screws that hold it on the dynamic jaw, or one? Mine only has one, but some of the others I've seen have 2.

Here is a close up of the missing collar. Does anyone have a big parker that can show me what this piece looks like? I am going to try and get it apart and cleaned up this weekend. Might just need to fab something up that would work?

Found some of the pins in pieces in the head, so I am down to sending it off for a rebuild, or just buying a new one. Has anyone had good or bad experience getting a Matco tool rebuilt?

Thanks. And I think I am calling it the right thing, but I need the part that holds the screw and handle from coming out of the vise. On the nice ones, it has Parker in raised lettering. On mine, just the remnants of the single screw is broken off where it supposed to be attached. My lead...

It's full of grime and dirt, just wanted to make sure everything was nice and clean before putting it all back together. Maybe I won't though, sounds like more than I may be bargaining for.

That's great. Thanks! Ay ideas on getting No. 25 off? Mine just won't budge.

I just picked up a well used Matco MT2858 Pit Bull Air Ratchet and after using for a little bit, I took it apart to give it a good cleaning and lube. Does anyone know if there are any schematics/diagrams available for these anywhere? And possibly a rebuild kit? Or does Matco have to do it? I...

Bump this up to see of anyone who has a Parker might be able to help with a replacement for the collar?

I just picked up a Parker 105 on CL. Cool vise. But it is missing the lead screw collar. These pics of yours looks like it might be missing from yours also? Did you end up doing anything to replace it? Any suggestions on making one?

Any of these still available?
