I bought this JMR Air/Hydraulic kit last year from Polyperformance for my JD2 model 3 bender. I literally bent one tube using this setup and decided I wanted to upgrade to the model 32 bender. Unbeknownst to me, this kit will NOT work with the model 32. I tried to fab a bracket to make it work but in the end the stroke is too short for my bender. It does work great on the JMR bender or on the JD2 model 3. It is “as new” and was only used to make one 90° bend in a piece of 1 ¾ HREW. Here’s a link to the description on Poly’s website . . . http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/JMR-Air-Hydraulic-Upgrade-Kit-p-2396.html
This setup has a lifetime replacement on the US made hydraulic pump and ram. It cost me almost $875 new including shipping. I’d like to get $700 OBO. The kit did ship with a couple of sleeves made from DOM tubing that I modified to try and make this work with my model 32. I’ll include what I have but you may have to pick up a couple of small pieces of DOM to make a sleeve depending on your application.
