I scored a JD Squared model 4 hydraulic bender with pump motor and 2 inch 180* die set.
It looks like the cylinder needs new seals, but the rest appears good, the pump motor works. A local guy quoted me $80 to rebuild.
The ad asked $800 for the package. When the company owner found out a worker swapped out cylinders for another machine, he dropped the price to $680, minus the cost to rebuild the cylinder. So it appears I now have a $2700 bender package for $680. A little elbow grease and some fixin', this will make a fine addition to my tools.
I can't wait to finish building the stand for it and buy some more usable sized dies. The pump has quick disconnects so I can use it on other equipment too!!!! Maybe dimple dies!!

Finding tools like that on the used market is rare. Getting one for 75% off of new is even tougher. I'd say it qualifies as a YOU **** deal!

I just read on another site where they bent a 2" x .120 wall tube and slit it to use as a filler. So they use the filler piece in the 2" die to bring it down to size to bend 1.75" tube. I haven't tried it myself.
I will have to try that out.
