I'm ordering my JD2 tomorrow or monday(finally). I was wondering if I should try and save a buck and not get their handle. I would think I can make one rather easily and it seems to me that everyone extends the handle anyhow, thoughts????

Easy

Don't waste your money on that handle.

Buy yourself some 1x2 rectangle tubing when you get your firsat batch of round tube.

they told me that they don't sell a handle and to just make my own (if I ever get the thing, sorry no patience)

Make your own. If you can bend/ weld/ etc.. you can make a handle...

Screw that handle.

Save the money on the handle and make it fully hydrolic.
:flipoff2:

Whizzy, any other pics of that hydro set-up?

thats the best hydro conversion i've seen. how does the cylinder mount on the stationary end?

thanks!

matt

What are the specs on that cylinder? where did ya get it and fur how much? Thanks

you don't need a handle..just talk that tube around the die!!

I have never seen a manual handle, as long as it doesn't attach all tricky then I'd make one...well I'd go hydro but that wasn't your question

I'd love to go hydro, just can't afford it yet. I guess I could afford it if I didn't build my cage, but then why would I buy the bender:rolleyes: Thanks for the replies, I figured it was a waste, just checkin'.

Easy

Hey matt here is the other pic that I have.

if you want, I can take some more pics with the digital.

Here is the pump on the cart that we made.
