I bought one years ago at a store similar to Harbor Freight. Try them.
I dug a trench near the cyclone upright pole, put in a 4x4 post against the pole with a hydraulic jack behind the 4x4. Gradually jacked the pressure, as I pounded the cyclone pole above with a sledge hammer. It easily bent back to an upright position. I checked with a carpenter’s level to ensure it was vertical. Had to do this with several bent poles. I had no access to the other side from my property, so I had to use this push technique instead of a pull technique.
Fix the wooden fence for the neighbor and take the cyclone fence against it down....
You should ask tubebender?

Pretty much. Except the posts are still vertical, just not now or ever in a straight line.
A damaged chain link fence rail can easily be repaired by cutting out the bad section and sliding in a new piece. Learn how from our fence experts.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:July/August 2013
Slide the new rail down so the crimped end is located over a straight section of the damaged rail. Then mark the cutting line.
Start at an existing rail joint, then cut the replacement section to length.
When a tree limb falls on your property, you can bet it's going to damage something. And if that “something†happens to be a chain link fence, consider yourself lucky, because fixing a chain link fence is an easy DIY repair. The pros would charge about $150 plus materials for the repair shown here. But you can do it yourself for about $60, including tool rental.
We asked our friends at Premier Fence in St. Paul, MN, to evaluate the damage on this fence and walk us through the repair. Here's how to proceed.
Get a new section of top rail and some wire ties from a home center or fence supplier. The top rail should have one open end and one crimped end. Grab a hacksaw, file and pliers—and a helper.
Start by removing the wire ties that hold the fence fabric to the top rail. Then rest the new rail on top of the damaged rail and have your helper hold it in place while you mark a cutting line on the old rail. Then mark a cut on the opposite end of the new rail where it meets a joint.
Cut the damaged rail at the cutting line (Figure A), slide it off the joint and toss it. Then cut the excess off the top rail to mate with the existing joint. Create some maneuvering room by unbolting the top rail from the corner post and sliding it away from the damaged area. Install the larger end of the new rail onto the crimped end of the old rail. Then make the final connection. Reconnect the rail end cap to the corner post.

FYI-Where I come from they call this a chain-link fence.
A come-along won’t do the job?
I’m going to guess that it is the posts set in concrete that are bent? If so, short of a portable hydraulic bender, you have to set new posts. Here on the west coast I believe we call that a chain link fence.
I see you're a fencing professional, worthy of your handle : )
I know a guy who’s good at that kind of stuff but I think he’d have to charge you quite a bit for mileage. :)
Whew, that was close! Almost hit the Weber.
Harbor Freight has the tubing/pipe bender, about $200
Do you know will they rent it? I only have to make about 3 bends...
Can you shove it in the crotch of a tree? Looking at that hoophouse bending link above, it doesn’t take much to make the arcs. Bend a little, shove in more, bend a little until it fits.
No, they only sell items.
Probably NOT ALUMINUM! More likely is galvanized steel!
