Converting a manual bender to hydraulic

Prepmech · Oct 11, 2007

Found a good deal on a pro-tools bender, too good to pass up. How exactly do you go about converting them to hydraulic? Is there any way to run them straight hydraulic with a hand pump, or do you have to run them with air or electric?

Poly Performance has a kit for JMR or JD2/Pro-Tools benders:

I'm building my own Air/Hydro bender. Details here:

Probably a hundred threads about doing this.

So what's the good deal? Good deal for two perhaps?
