Post more pics! Hard to tell what it is. I don't know much about benders other than the manual types(JD2/Pro-tools/etc).

I got it home finally and ill take a bunch of pics this weekend. Sucker is heavy lucky enough for me a knew a guy that worked at the company selling it so he helped me load it with the fork lift. They used it to bend up railings for military boats. i have some round and some square dies and some dies that dont even fit?? has a forward and reverse switch and a hand crank bottle jack for the 3rd wheel. havent messed with it a whole lot but seems complicated.

Sounds like a kickass bender and maybe even a roll bender which would allow you to make hoops of any radius you desire(kickass).

Mind if I ask how much you gave for it?

Tubing is OD, pipe is ID, world of difference in regards to dies.
Great find!
