Nice restoration, but why not paint the tires black? Great video!
So biry nice ♥️
Absolutely love the newer videos when the kids cheer when the media blaster booth is shown
Eastwood has a tool to drill spot welds I have used one before
Excellent job but those tires would look better in black
that is a real restoration. all the same parts
👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Do you keep these restored vehicles in a collection or do you sell them? I would love to see a video of your collection.
I LOVE YOUR WORK. YOU Are AN AMERICAN HERO. WORKING WITH YOUR HANDs LIKE MY DAD TAUGHT US..AKA KOREAN WAR SOLDIER MY HERO,. Dad DIED LAST YEAR AT 89. Covid in Cal robbed us of our final moments with him. HE ALWAYS HAD TIME TO SHOW ME HOW TO WORK IN OUR LITTLE SHOP WITH HIS HANDS…A TEAMSTER, WORKING MAN, WORKED HARD FOR HIS FAMILY..MY THREE ADULT SONS MISS THEIR GRANDPA…..so do I, you remind me of my Dad, I’m a pussy weeping as I write this….I’m leaning on my table saw watching you as I make a bird house for my Grandaughter….
at the end of your rebuild you should bring the kids back in for another round of cheers...

Dear Jim, always surprising with new tecnics...
I would like to thank for the inspiration, today I started my project number 7, a 1959's Nylint Ford series U-HAUL and I started on this because of you! Thanks for your job and congratulations!
I played with that stuff when I was a kid and I've never seen blue tires.
I think the black dye faded or maybe they were dark blue to begin with.
@@jacquelynnmartin6210 idk I'm positive he would have painted them black if they would have been faded into a blue. But either way I love watching this stuff :))))
Artistic license?
I was wondering the samething maybe the cleaning brought out a blue pigment that only the camera can see and that why we are seeing it...because like previously stated i think he would have repainted them.
I think some black paint/dye would have been nice.
Those were the toys for children to PLAY with
When I was young about 6 years old my parents bought me the whole Tonka road building set after they forgot my birthday.
Wow I'm glad they did that for you after they forgot your birthday

Nice Lumar grader. Marx made a lot of cool toys. You don't see too many of those graders that are complete.
Do that with today's toys they break.
Isso faz uma grande
Very nice! Why did you harden (quench) the axels?
An OUTSTANDING restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when It left the Marx Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Now these are real toys. Made to be played with in the dirt for years and years.
I had a privileged childhood it seems, and will probably still play with these toys in the dirt if i still had them!
The road grater is an important toy because up until the 1960s, roads in America hadn't been made using them. Lots of roads are still variably bumpy because they haven't been grated even. New roads are, as are interstate highways. Kids had dump trucks but the road grater took awhile. So until road construction had them, it was rare to see them.
After looking at the car's new paint color, it is unbelievable that it has rusted !
Excellent job as always and of course the sandblasting was immensely satisfying. But odd that the tires are blue. Seems like maybe they could have originally been black and somehow the plastic oxidized that bluish color.
There is something oddly satisfying about a time-lapse of a sandblaster.
Thanks!
I agree. There is something oddly satisfying.
Oh good, I thought it was just me.

У меня скрейпер и зилы железные были, старые игрушки супер
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤣🤣
I like it!! Great job. Can't get over the blue tires. Think that's the first time I've seen those.👍👍
It didn't really make any sense to me when it was all rusty and faded. But once it was all new and shiney, the colors actually look pretty good together.
Weird how they are a blue color but thats what they were back then

I would like to know why the metal bars are heated in oil and then put in oil.
I would be interested to know.
Thank you! B-)
BRAND NEW GRADER!!!! Great restoration TRGR, you are very talented restoring toys!!.
Being a grader driver I had to watch this but when I seen “ Power Grader” ( Power is my last name) I had to laugh. Great job mate. Love it 😍
👋
So your living the dream? :)
Crispy Zombie Animation I wouldn’t say that.
*you'r fun like a Child: "Duke" "yeeeeeeeii" i loved it! 💜 Great job! Sorry, I'dont speak english. Salutes from México.*

Your English is fine. Fun is universal.

First
I love watching your videos. You take old toys that are do far gone that most people would throw them away like garbage. But you bring the new life and keep them from being tossed. It truly is amazing.
Not only fascinating to watch a piece of junk become like new, but so entertaining as well.
this Tonka Grader is definitely underappreciated - such a cool toy to save. I also recently restored one and it was a lot of fun! Great job!
I guess the previous owner had the old engine out of an overhaul and never put it back in..
Restoration and hope is available each time you return to God.
روعه عمل فني دقيق وجميل 👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸

Very nice job as new i like it!
Do you really think the blue tyres were designer's idea? I think that was the colour of the plastic leftover.
You didn’t use GI Joe he was the same Era as TONKA TRUCKS RODE. IM 65 YRS OLD AND GI JOE HAD MANY ADVENTURES OF DIRT AND EXPLOSION ADVENTURES IN OUR BACK YARD. LAST YEAR GRANDPA FOUND A TONKA DUMP TRUCK IN THE SAND BOX HE BUILT FOR US 50 years ago…..REMEMBER GI JOE KIDS ACTION HERO…….LET THE ADVENTURE CONTINUE…..
Amazing product placement at 6:00 or so, was that an actual sponsor, if so good choice and good placement! If not, they owe you money now for that shot!
He's wearing their t-shirt as well. I'm guessing he's already been paid, in product at least.
Rewatched the video ......
Missed a chance to remark about.....
Good OL .....
Southern Deep Fried Shafts and Axels .
How many decrepit old metal toys can there be in the world? I've got this image in my head of would-be restoration video guys having fist fights in flea markets, competing for the few cruddy toys left. And don't you imagine there are TonkaToy autos all over, sitting in buckets of water so they can get rusty enough.
If I'm not watching Diesel Creek saving a real 60s vintage Gallion grader I'm here watching a much smaller scale Tonka grade being brought back from the dead
Great job as usual, the blue tires kind of threw me off though I'm not used to seeing those I wonder if they were black at 1 time but the color just leeched out over time
Not a tonka
Will you restore a cycle it's chain is removed tell me how much money you need I will give you under 200
قاسم.😉😉😉😉🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Man I could watch that sand blaster for hours.... Oh wait, I have.....
Le hubiese pintado los cauchos en color negro..!!! Queda más Original...

Excelente trabajo amigo 👏👏👏👏
You forgot to straighten the front panel of the cab where the steering rod comes through after bending it out of alignment to fit the rod.
I do enjoy your vids, keep up the god work :)
Amazing work Done
Good Restoration..
What a great job as always. I was curious if this was a Tonka since it didnt seem to have any names in decal or on the wheels that i could see?? It also seemed odd that the wheels had a blueish tint to them? All in all it does not matter a bit cause it is an awesome looking toy that you did a great job on and I know my grandkids would really love. Me too for that matter!
I had the same excavator... No blue wheels, at least not on the USA that I can recall.
Nylint was another company. They were okay but Tonka rules!!!👍
It's not a tonka. Factory blue wheels
Is the sand replaced or reused multiple times. If it is reused then the other past restorations help clean the next. :) Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes my day brighter.
Great 👍 job I like the color is beautiful,stay safe and stay home 🏠 see you next time,hasta luego chico adiós 👋
Stop with the Duke. ITS GI JOE !!!!!!! RESTORATION AMERICAN HERO……
Great job. This was made when toys were built to last. They deserve to be restored.
Nice work. It looks good, I can't help but wish they didn't use those odd blue tires. Thumbed up.
Do i need to start looking at Garage Sales for old Tonka stuff ?
I'm close enough to meet you with them.
You need a section of smaller mesh to set small parts on so you don't loose them in the bottom of the sandblaster station
Hey Tim
This just looks amazing to me😁
Have many fond memories of playing in the dirt with one of these. I don’t remember it having blue wheels though.
I believe they're sun-bleached
I had one of these and remember the wheels as definitely being black.
Blue tires makes any scale toy to loose realism... OMG!...

Nice!!
Funny statue guy great job on the tractor though one of the best restoration deals I've ever seen thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
@@TRGRESTORATIONS your welcome
What is the name of the Yellow powder coating and did you get it from The Powder Coat Store?
The White House is the people's house. When you do historical restoration, that must be what it is
Must be a lot of work to get the item so rusty, bent and dirty so that it needs to be restored, but interesting to watch nonetheless.
Man, i really love your work. Watched almost all of your work, but I' m little bit miser on liking videos and commenting them. So here i comes again for like and comment.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey! Be careful about those e bay engines. Sometimes they don’t run.
How to take this
impressive job but never seen a grader with blue tyres before !
Я вас люблю
Awesome job!
Any idea who manufactured it? My first thought was Nylint when I saw the hollow wheels, but they are generally press fit. Buddy L maybe?
Marx.
Regálame la motoniveladora Yo estoy aquí en Costa Rica y tú
I still got one of these that my parents bought me back around 1974 ..its just as rusty looking
Great job but I think I would have been tempted to paint the tires black
Congratulations!!!but the tyres could be blacks.
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Awesome work as always.
Best part for kids ,Yaaaaaaaaay
Mike Espo .
I spose a scarefire would have been too dangerous for kids..
Brilliant job!
Caught me out with the blasting cabinet appearing so early - I nearly didn't have time to shout, "yaaaaaaay"!
Is there supposed to be something attached to the two blade height adjusters?
Só faltou pintar os pneus de preto, pois não existe pneu azul...
Tem vídeo aonde restaura algum avião de brinquedo!?
Oi
Um brassileiro
They sure knew how to make each Tonka different
Very impressive. Have you ever come across a toy that was too rusted out to save?
Looks great ,i did a tonka grader earlier this spring,a low budget restoration.
Man, I really wish I kept my Tonka Toys. The real ones made out of metal!!!!!😃😃😃😃
Amazing job sir! Appreciate you content!
I remember having one of those as a kid,it was so fun
I had one of those!
Its true most of us are men who are hardworking but we also still like to play with toys, nothing wrong with that I play with Power Rangers
Nice 🚜
Slow down your video so people can watch what you are doing
Aren't the rear wheels supposed to have a suspension? Seems odd the rear axles have a slot while the front axle has a simple hole, seems they were supposed to have one
I was wondering if there was any way to send you something to restore I would gladly pay you for it I love the work you do
Thanks! I generally don't restore customer items. Not doing as a business, just a hobby that I enjoy sharing.
@@TRGRESTORATIONS I had to ask you do such great work and I truly admire what you and thank you so much for the laughs I love "DUKE" and that's Chinese for subscribe I was killing myself with them two...and thanks for letting me kno thanks anyways 👍👍👍
Great work!! Very clean and professional.
Very relaxing video.
Still I think that the part under the grader (the one who push the sand or soil) should be RED!
After all it is a TOY...
Don't be afraid to add some art of your own.
Thank you for beautiful video!!
I love it! Beautiful job!
Should check out Marty’s Matchbox Makeovers and his ARS (Axle Reforming System).
I agree Marty is a genius, and Kevin is pretty smart as well.
Duke was a real help!
Previous owner is watching you now and biting all his t shirts .
