There are few things more loving and special that a parent can do for a child than take the time to restore a heirloom toy that can be enjoyed for years to come. Great job, I'm sure your son will enjoy it.
I do not know what it is about toys and sentiment for me. Restoring one which you and your Dad played with, now to be used by your Son; just makes me smile. Awesome job and I think my favourite so far in your videos.
I have that exact Nylint grader up on top of my bookshelf, right now, except that mine is yellow. I love the deep-cut tread patterns on the tires. Grandpa didn't let anybody but me take it outside to play with it.
I have never seen a yellow one like this. I know the later Nylint's were yellow and the version with a loader on the back, but not the standard road grader. Interesting. Could you post a picture on my website so I can see it? Post it here please in the comments. www.thejunkmanadv.com/the-junk-mans-blog/nylint-michigan-crane
@@thejunkman You know, I have taken a closer look at it since I posted that comment, and I think it is a later model, after all. The tires aren't as chunky as the tires on the grader in this vid, Beyond that, though, the steel seems to be the same model. I'll see what I can do about a pic; have to admit that I've never posted a picture of ANYTHING, so I'll have to figure out how...
I am not sure where you live, but my local ACE Hardware carries all sizes of these exact style. They also carry the the "hat" style commonly used on other pressed steel toys from various manufacturers.
What's the name of that graphite product? I have a large Tonka grader I'm working on and that would nice at the plates of the mounting bracket and blade.

Thanks for the comment!
Looks great well done.
Nylint best toys ❤️
Received that set as a Christmas gift 1956 or '57. There were three pieces; the grader, the dump truck, and a steam shovel, all painted orange.

Good restoration job, you brought it back to life.
Thanks. With its weight it works really well as a motor grader.
Man thats some good work
Beautiful restoration, really nice job.
Looks great.
great video and a great restoration. i know everything is big in the u.s.a. but your toothbrush is amazing.
Had one. Great toy!
Great job. I got one for Christmas in 1955. Where did you get the replacement muffler?
Ebay for the muffler
Nice Job! I have one I need to restore. What is a good spray can paint match for the original Nylint Orange color? Thanks!
Allis Chalmers orange from Van Sickle is a spot on match.
Thanks for That! I'm having a hell of a time removing the wheels from this model. Where did you purchase replacement Axel Caps? Thanks!

@@thejunkman Will check Ace. Thanks!
Good job,bravo....
As we said in the 50's: It turned out "Swell"! ...Newk from Kentucky
What's the name of that graphite product? I have a large Tonka grader I'm working on and that would nice at the plates of the mounting bracket and blade.
Slip-Plate, it comes in aerosol and brush on varieties.
I have a Nylint mobile home with the tractor.
For those who do not know: "Gummi Pflege Stift" is German for "Rubber Maintenance Pen"
Does that mean gummi bears are actually 'rubber bears?'
Any idea where I can find the grader blade for one I'm restoring?
Ebay
3rd generation...how many toys can you buy today can do that!? Good job!
I have more retsorations on my channel.
Where can I get that muffler? Great restoration!!!!
Ebay
is a mark Caterpillar o Adams the scale
Yes, maybe.
Gee we need an address to send you old toys!
Thanks, but I have enough junk! Lol. More to come as well.
Where are your safety glasses????
This music has caused me to suffer a slight brain bleed.
More blood flow is a good thing right? What did you think of the project though?
Not if it flows out of the vessels in which they run. :) Great job on the grader though!
Lets do less talking and do more work.
