oh wow. My church has one of these, it's probably 20 years old. only gets used once a week but I didn't realize how much crap can build up in them. Looks like a good weekend project for me

Nicely done! A couple years ago I bought one at a pawnshop for $15. I work at a custom cabinet shop and use it for assembling cabinets. Its fantastic, adjusting the air pressure changes the torque, which is great for driving different sized screws. Today you can find used, well made air tools and nail guns in good condition for at a great price thanks to everyone getting all hopped up in the cordless tool market. Cordless tools are over rated lol.

What medium do you use for your sandblaster?? I have one that's mostly complete, and in better condition than yours was. It's newer I think, as the wheels have white plastic hubs and single piece tires. The lever is broken off, so I need to braze on a piece to attach the rod to the boom. It's also missing the hose, ladder and hydrant.

Bravo,Maestro!

I have a storage unit that was given to me and the walls has shelves of these and Tonka toys

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

Personally the decals would pissed me right off. I would have done better ones. (If it was for a collection or to sell)

I just came across your video of the tonka firetruck restoration.Great job. I was wondering what kind of screws are those that you used or are they soe type of rivet.THANKS

Beautiful job!

Speaking as a Canadian, I have _never_ seen Nylint toys in person (as a child or later). Tonka completely dominated the market for better-quality vehicles and construction equipment; other firms made cheap plastic toys. If Nylint had a retail presence here, it was very small.

I worked in the tool repair industry for around 30 years, 8 years as a repair mechanic, the rest as shop manager. I am factory certified by dozens of tool manufacturers, including Sioux Tool, since 1992. If you are repairing your own equipment, you can get by with your mistakes. For the short time I watched this video, I see 2 mistakes I would not tolerate of anyone working for me. Always replace bearings when a tool is being repaired. NEVER sandblast the motor housing of a rotory tool. You run the risk of not getting all of the sandblasting medium from inside the tool, thus damaging motor parts.

Its like my childhood gets a whole new life put back into it. Much appreciated

What dozer is the Tonka t9 based on?

Nice video. Would have liked to see you remove the tank. Looks too complicated for me.

Exelente

Hi, please remove the music... it cut all the ASMR effect...

Better when was no noise music played with our autistic little one

Fantastic work...........

Ficou muito Show. Visto em Praia do Rosa - Imbituba - Santa Catarina - Brasil

“Luckily it hit me in the face” we are officially friends lol. I wish I had a camera going last week… a rebellious snap ring went flying at Mach 10 speed, ricocheted off of something about 6 feet away, and somehow landed in the palm of my other hand while I contemplated my choices

Hi, friend! Please tell me what instruments you were talking about? 19 minutes 47 seconds you say a special rivel tool is needed here

Nice job....Psyco music at the end. Lol

Beautiful peace considering what you had to start with

Beautiful job on it

i have one taken apart.will get back on it soon.vidieo very helpful on the buck and boom.thank you

Thank you! I just took one home from work that has a leak. I think it is the .70 cent seal between heating tank and holding tank

I have a 75 on the way. I think besides the decal it's the same dump truck. Thanks for this. Do you restore for others? Ty again.

Great video. I’m very new to the obsession of restoring old Tonka toys. I’m still learning. Any websites, blogs, groups, etc that I should know about? I have a lot of questions as someone just starting out. Thanks.

I'm currently working on this. I wish you would have showed the disassembly of the crane section, but awesome job overall. I only hope mine turns out nearly as well!

Very informative video! I have been eanting to restore my own Tonkas. BUT, I have a Question: Do these tonka trucks, dozers, etc. lose value when restoration is done? Wouldn't it be better to totally restore one that others would consider an eye sore? Thanks.

I'm from Brazil and I restored an identical one, would you have the sticker file to make available for printing?

GRAET JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

uhh what year is it?!

I have MANY hours running one of those, pushed a lot of gravel and dirt with mine when I was a kid! loved that thing!

I had one just like it., and later a black truck. That also had a motor cycle, and wheels you could change.

Good job, the decals turned out great.

Imagine seeing the very same toy you owned and played with 58 years ago as a lad only aged 7 being restored to its original new condition. 👏 ❤ ☺️ Your videos bring such joy to my heart and while I watch them then I forget about all the troubles in the world, all the stresses in my life and all the worry and concerns about my future. Thank you mate and God bless ya from this ol ExPat Yank. 👍

It's a impact driver toothats rare

Looks good and you did a great job restoring it! Why didn't you use filler in the bed?? It shows real bad that you didn't do it I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

I like the new yellow color U used & it is remarkable on the final results - as it is VERY NICE - Big Boy Toy Now👍👍

These are fantastic toys! I always wanted this particular model when i was a kid! Never did get one. Im now thinking of trying to get it just out of nostalgia? Am i crazy but i actually liked the pre restoration condition! Although i was impressed with the end result.

What is the name of the rust remover you use that strips paint also? Lol. Seriously though.😊

Wow! It turned out great! Beautiful job!

good job bro 👍👍👍

It's look good so far!! Looks like a kid jumped on it. A few times I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

It looks great! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Can’t wait to see part 2!

Хорошая работа!👍 Понравилось!

A very nice dozer, just like all the vintage toys. I think toys were much better back then than they are now.

So shiney and near new! I like the red/black contrast!
