Fastest tube bender?

Buy the electric motor from surplus center.com they got good prices. Im from bc canada and for the same motor i bought from surplus center it was almost double here.
Im in the process of converting my jd2 model 32 to electric hydraulic as we speak and am down to the wiring part. I got 75% of my stuff from surplus center. Theres a formula to calculate how long it will take for your ram to stroke with different pumps. Just cant remember it off the top of my head.

I was wondering when somebody was going to do this. If I ever get a shop that I can set my lift up in, and a bender, and time, I'l be doing this. Where/what fittings did you get or use?

Just went to the local hydraulic hose store and got 2 male and 1 female fittings put the female on the pump outlet and the males on the cylinder for the binder and the lift. Works great.

How much would it cost to build that setup you got there?
and the idea of using the lift motor is pretty awesome too. Might steal that one one day

^ not sure on total cost yet as im still doing the wiring. But the motor , pump and pump mount were $406.00 from surplus center. I think the tank was $80 from surplus center. Dual acting solenoid valve was roughly $100.00 . Steel was all free from work. Wheels were $30? And not sure on the total for hoses and fittings but roughly $140ish which i think i got raped on because im living in a small northern oil field town. I will have more in depth details on this project once im done. I plan to do a build thread. Most likely once im done crane school in a few weeks.
