Been doing a restoration on an older Wilton 746 "made in USA". The newer ones are made in China, and the parts don't fit. 5/8 holdowns on this one vs the 1/2 inch on the newer offshore versions.

Anyone have an idea as to model/year for this or whether the late model jaws will fit on it?

Before:

368870

After:

368874

368873

About 60 seconds with Google brought up this and I hope it helps. > https://www.ereplacementparts.com/wilton-746-19801993-mechanics-vise-parts-c-32774_155485_155592.html PS After one of my kids broke mine, I got new parts and its an older one and repaired. But I painted mine gray... :D

I wasn't sure what year it was and was hoping to narrow it down for sure. I think you nailed the year. Thanks!

No... but I just got an email from Wilton today asking me to confirm a dimension on the jaws.
