Finding someone that makes up hard lines is getting harder and harder anymore around my neck of the woods. The local shop we use spent big bucks on a bender several years back, and sent a guy to be trained to use it. Not too long afterwards he quit and with no one trained to use it and not much of a call for hard lines to be made ip it very rarely gets used anymore.
My suggestion to you would be that unless it has alot of really tight or complex bends just to get yourself an inexpensive bender of some sort and just get your local shop to get you a piece of tube the right size. A #14 JIC equals a 5/8 size but measure the tube and wall thickness to insure you get the right thing just in case the fittings and tube aren"t the same, which is a common occurance. Withparts on hand fill the tube with a fairely fine sand to keep it from collapsing and bend it like you want it. It isn"t quite as easy as it sounds but it can be done, especially with the smaller, thinner walled tube like is commonly used on farm equipment. If the tube has flared ends a flaring tool for JIC fittings is made but it"s not really cheap. Your best bet would be to get the shop to order you fittings that silver solder/braze on the ends of the tube as the cost of the fitting and solder. Unfortunately a roll of a 93/7 silver solder isn"t cheap but at least it would get you going. Good luck.
