  • I purchased this 1962 Tonka Dragline Crane on eBay December 18th 2021 for $134.14. The crane was amazingly complete for being 60 years old with no major issues outside of having extensive rust and dirt build up. The cranes boom assembly was bent up very badly and the body had multiple dings. After sandblasting the body showed many rust pits which I filled with JB weld and sanded flat. Overall I love how this toy cleaned up and how well it looks now. Thanks soo much for watching!

    I had a few Tonka trucks growing up. When I went into the Air Force, my younger brother gave them all to a neighbor kid.
    My favorite was the drag line crane. In 1964 when my parents had this house built. My drag line crane dug the first scoop for the basement. A real tracked drag line did dig the basement.

    Love how that J-B Weld works to fill in the pits, but I cannot imagine the repetitive motion aches and pains you endure sanding these parts. I would be constantly seeking an mechanical alternative! 😉 Beaker’s reaction to the paracord is precisely how my cat would react… she’s starting to be a real scene-stealer! Thanks as always for great entertainment and knowledge, Chip! 👍👍👍 ~John

    • @ChipChannelRestorations
      @ChipChannelRestorations  2 роки тому +21

      Thank you Primus54!!! Yup, I love the performance of the JB weld, has definitely worked well for me, but yes... my muscle between my thumb and pointer finger takes the brunt of the pain ha. Beaker is definitely becoming a character, she'll be 2 years old May 14th of this year. She's a very spoiled kitty haha.
