There is a block of steel or iron missing that fits between the rods. It is shaped to stay put and keep the rods from banging around. I might have one that will work as I have a couple of Parker vices that are hors de combat from age and abuse.I won't be home for a couple of days to look though.

Bill, you're not missing anything that I can see. I have one that is somewhat larger and is as complete as the one you picture. Mine has no more parts than yours has.

Not all use them but I think this one is missing the captive piece that the threaded rod screws into and it in turn fits over the smooth rods.Otherwise the threaded rod is free to move all over the place.

Some have all 3 rods fitting into a yoke and the threaded rod has a cotter pin that keeps it from coming out when the vise is opened all the way out.Some use a block that fits between the smooth rods and I think that is what you are missing.

Robert,
The part missing, in fact stabilizes the screw between the two guide bars. Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like? Bill

Nice find, Bill. I'm sure you can get it working.

Bruce,
Had it sand blasted today and had the paint mixed to match the original color and got a coat on it. I am in the process of making the missing part, although it would be nice to have a picture to go by. When I get it done I will post some pictures. This is a much nicer vise then you can buy new from one of the woodworking outlets. Bill
