Ok need some expert knowledge. started working on this 1975 C3 and ran into some issues. The screw has a small crack as seen in the photo. Is it worth having someone weld it up? If so what type of welding should be done? Second is the handle. It’s not original and is worn smooth out. The hole...

Would that be the correct one what does the No. 35-31/2 mean is that the model that I have? Everywhere I’ve read is it’s a model C0. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m guessing the “4 pin” is the pipe jaw part held by the 4 pins? Do some models not have this?

Ok first post here and totally new to the whole vise knowledge and restoration game. I know some of y’all with flip out I sandblasted this and wanted to start over but to each their own. The original is cool and all but I want it to last another 74 years looking like this. Bought this last week...

Dry fitting tonight. Still have to polish all the metal components to my liking. Going to polish the handle and the other items and then will reassemble. Think the color came out good.

Yes I sandblasted it and am currently painting it as we speak. I am using sage green as everyone says that is as close as you can get. Yes the anvil and jaws have been masked off and I’ve sanded and polished them to almost a mirror finish so far

Hey guys new here so if this has been discussed before please let me know. Starting to restore my first vise ever and wanted to know what all labels or stickers were on this when new. I can see the 5 year warranty one on the back but wonder if there should be any more on it. Thanks!
