Hi, it is now fixed. There was a spring o it, but the parts were so rusty and stuck together that the spring didn't have the power to push back the jaw. But with some sandpaper and some oil, plus that i loosened the tight bolt a bot, it works like a charm now.
Thank you guys for all the help and feedback.

I now only need some post/bench to put it on, and a shop to put the bench in

Any one notice that Melonkernel from Finland got the problem solved in only 24 hours? The comments came from Finland, Georgia, New Jersey, Arizona, China, and WV.
