You have done it again, a fantastic and shiny restoration. Whether or not it's the right boom arm, I think the result is brilliant.
Thanks for the kind comment and thanks for watching!
I can not believe it has been 60 years. I had a Dragline and transport. I was 7 and mom would take me down to the beach in SF to play. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment.
Beautiful peace considering what you had to start with
I like the new yellow color U used & it is remarkable on the final results - as it is VERY NICE - Big Boy Toy Now👍👍
Thanks for the comment.
I actually purchased the wrong color and didn't realize until the paint dried that it was a little lighter than Tonka's original color.
I was happy with the results though.
Thanks for watching!
cheers!
Beautifully done, Sir!!
Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching!
Glad you restored it. And that you fixed the pitting. A lot of channels for toy restoration don't and it is annoying as heck. Another old beauty is ready for sandbox work again!
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
I had one of these when I was a kid back in the 1960s. (I was born in 1954.) I do remember mine was painted sort of a pale green if my old memory is correct. Everything else looks identical as far as I can tell and remember. Thanks for the video. It brought back some pleasant memories.
Hi, thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching!
If your was pale green it was likely from Penny's or Sears.
The two stores wanted their Tonka Toys to stand out and ordered them in those colors from what I understand.
@@onemansgarage6203 : Thanks for the info about the color. I had no idea.
Sweet work! Sometimes the right boom can't be bought. I have been wanting to see a drawer for some time. I am an ex-road repairer and love this Tonka line.
I hate auto-correct! I had dragger but it did not believe me!
Nice effort! 🏗🪝
Great restoration!!!
Awesome restoration and job you're doing
Thank you for watching and for the encouragement!
Reminds me of the TONKA clamshell Crane I had as a boy in the early 60's.
Excellent restoration.
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
Great job but I recall my construction Tonka Trucks were just a little darker yellow.

Great video! What do you use for media in your blast cabinet?
Thanks for the nice comment, and for watching!
I use black Aluminum silicate - Harbor Freight
Cheers!
That was very impressive -- especially the amount of effort needed to remove all of the rust and corrosion!
Question: Are the parts like the boom arm and bucket newly manufactured? Is there enough demand for reproductions to make this a viable business?
Sorry I took so long responding, I missed your nice comments somehow.
To answer your questions, the bucket was newly manufactured, purchased online. Most other parts you can find used online.
I don't know enough about the demand for these items to answer accurately.
Some people do make a business of it though or I wouldn't be able to get parts.
Thanks again and thanks for watching!
This is where powder coating comes in, rather than painting from an aerosol. Imperfections caused by minor pits just disappear when you powder coat.
Thanks for the comment!
Yes. This project would probably be perfect for powder coat. I don not have that capability at this time unfortunately. I do plan to acquire the equipment needed to powder coat and try it out eventually.
The extra primer and sanding fill the pits.
One Man's Garage ppppp
Hello Friend .. Where did you get spare parts for rubber tracks and rollers for the bulldozer ?? waiting for an answer .. thanks 🌹👍
They are the original parts. You can find them online though.
Good job...loved it!🤘🤘
Fantastic job! I'm a new subbie and I loved it. X
Thanks for the comment and the sub and thanks for watching!
Can you tell us the blaster air pressure and any prenozzle information? Size of Gun nozzle? Do you have a drier?
Its a standard blasting cabinet and accessories from Harbor Freight (Not Sponsored) and air pressure is 90 PSI at the nozzle. I do use a drier due to humid climate.
Thanks for the questions and thanks for watching!
Good work 🇧🇷😏
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
Looks fantastic ! New sub here !
Thanks for the kind words and for the sub! I truly appreciate it.
thanks for watching
yellow paint Krylon Gloss Bright Idea. When you blast we don't know what your media is? Soda, glass beads, sand?
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Aluminum oxide is the media I currently use for sandblasting.
Cheers!
Спасибо, очень интересно!
Спасибо за просмотр и за добрый комментарий.
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment.
I can't believe you got a razor blade to bend up tabs. We will assume the red color was not blood
There was no blade installed, I just used it because it was in reach and I thought it would work. It didn't work very well. Destroyed my scraper.
Thanks for watching!
I thought sand blasting was to get rid of everything?
It would normally, but my air compressor is undersized. Also, sanding helps to even out the rust pits and show high and low spot dents in the metal. (I have since purchased a better compressor...stay tuned)
Thanks for your comment, and for watching!
Zzzz.
Not as Zzzzz as the (1) sale video on your channel.
If it's not exciting enough for you just make your own restoration videos and show how it should be done.
BTW, if you're looking for action and adventure, you may be searching the wrong subject matter.
