I'm to cheap to buy a bender so I'm in the process of making one. The plan is to copy the JD2 model 3 frame and arm links so I can use their dies. I have a 110V hydraulic pump and cylinder I'll be using instead of air/hyd. or manually bending.
The start of the Frame links.
Both frame links and arm links.
Left is the bender I made and on the right is the JD2 bender
Here's the pins I machined
I fabricated a degree wheel
Stamped it just in case I forget it's a copy of the JD2
Now on to the ram mount. I picked up a 110V pump and a cylinder for it. I have it clamped to the table just to test it out.
