Reed vise question that I'm sure has been asked many times. I have a 403 1/2 R. The static jaw swivels and I can't seem to remove the pin. I have the base off and can get a drift in there to tap on it. It's STUCK! I've put kroil on it and it goes in right away. I'm pretty sure the kroil is going...

Stopped by the junk store and got a few goodies.

I have a Stewart warner 4041-B2 grease gun. What is the best way to clean these up? Is there a service manual out there anywhere for these? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know who made the Sears 506.5182 vise or about how old? A quick search didn't produce much. Seems to be nos, looks new to me.

I picked up a vintage kennedy toolchest today. Not sure if I over paid for it, but it's a nice box. I paid 500 and it's in really good shape. Probably from the late 80's. Style number 52611-938588 is the top box. What do you think?

That's awesome! I have my late father's 403.5 with the swivel jaw but the pin is stuck. I'm in the process of reconditioning the vise.

Does anyone know a direct replacement for a wilton cadet vise jaws? They are stamped 903162. Any info appreciated.

Yes, the jaws are completely closed. They are lined up pretty well. Thanks for the advice, that was my line of thinking also. I'm working on getting a 2in pin so I can knock it out. I'm going to keep feeding it kroil for another week then heat it up and hit it with a pin. Ill keep you posted...

I have a wilton cadet that I have partially disassembled. Everything is off except I cannot remove the dynamic jaws. It's STUCK closed. I've soaked it in evaporust, I've used liquid wrench, I'm currently using kroil and will continue until I run out of it. After that, I'm going to take it to a...

I have a rock island 573 and it looks very similar to that. I'll post some pics when I can find them. The jaws look the same to me.

Ok, I'll put it back into the evaporust for a week or so. I've just read horror stories about getting these vises apart. If I ever get it apart, it'll be a nice vise again.

I have a wilton cadet that the moveable jaw is stuck inside the body. I have soaked it in evaporust overnight and still nothing. Anybody have any ideas on how to get it apart? What is your thought about drill a small through the base making so I can put some lube in the bore? This thing is stuck!!!

Does anyone have info on this bottle jack? A quick search didn't yield much. Any idea of age? All info appreciated.

Does anyone know anything about this bottle jack? A quick search did not yeild much. Any info is appreciated.

This one is really stuck, I think I'll give your setup a shot. Can't hurt anything. This is why I like Reed vises!

I just submerged it in evaporust. I'll let it soak for a couple days, dry it off and hit it with some more kroil. If that does not work then I'll make a spreader out of 2 plates and use a couple of bolts to open it up.

Yes, both pins are out. I've put kroil on it and I guess I'll just keep kroil on it until it decides to come apart.

I need some advise/guidance of a wilton cadet vise that is closed and seems to be stuck. Does anyone have a good way to get the static and dynamic jaws apart? Also, does anyone know the end of this vise comes off? Would it be ok to apply some heat to this and try and tap it off?

Outlaw, I believe I accidentally posted them in my next post, #200

Guess the pics didn't post
