As a pressed steel toy collector, Nylint's version of a truck-crane (definitely not a shovel) is by far the best in my opinion: way more realistic than Structo or Tonka's mobile clam/dragline models of the time. I've looked at a few early versions( some came with 10 wheels, others with 6)but sellers always want way too much for them. What sellers don't realize is that Nylint made a ba-zillon of these "Michigan Shovels" in updated versions over the years, so they're not scarce by any means of the imagination. You did a nice restoration job and the labor of love that you put into it makes it all that much more gratifying.
This is how the designers imagined their product looking like when being sold, but clearly this product never looked this good originally. Really a grade A refurbishment! Fantastic resto as usual.
I wondered what happened to my crane from when I was a kid! I think you found it. 😁😁😁 I was born in 1954 so I probably didn't have a first generation one but I recognized it immediately from the video thumbnail. Thanks for the video! Cheers! Bob 😎
Oh plus the decals that went for it I need as well. Thanks
I HAD ONE OF THESE AS A KID! I remember taking it to Show and Tell in third grade, and demonstrating how the bucket closed by itself.
As suggested by someone else, a small media blaster would help a great deal in stripping those complicated shapes, like the booms.
As I recall, Nylint didn't have the same quality that Tonka and some others had. Never, ever managed to break a Tonka toy. It may have been cheap and slapped together, but it was still a fun toy. (PS - my decals were straight).
Nylint seemed to me to focus on detail and accuracy in re-creating toys of real life machinery, where as Tonka designed toys that were a more impressionistic version of the machine. That being the case Tonka could take liberties with the design and put some extra strength in areas that may need it while lowering the fidelity of the details. Nylint toys had some great detail, but that often meant certain pieces were smaller and thus lighter and more "breakable" with rough play. I had both brands, as well as Buddy L. I found them all to have their pluses and minuses in regards to durability and realism.
Nice and beautiful ! 👏
Most restore video are quiet but I love your step by step instructions!! Very pleasant voice!! Great job
Thanks. Its just a different style. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful restoration, someday I’m going restore one.
Thanks.
You did a very professional job on that truck crane. I plan to restore one some day.
I would love to see yours
Man! Came out looking awesome!👌😎👍
Nice result! While some argue the playworn look is authentic, I prefer to see a good restoration. This may end up in a toy museum in the future and it’s a testament to your patience and hard work.
Liked and subscribed!
Thank you!
Thanks! Check out my website and other videos for restorations similar to this one. Lots of tips and tricks contained in all these videos. www.thejunkmanadv.com/the-junk-mans-blog/nylint-michigan-crane
Thank you, looking good
Awesome toy! Nice work!
Nice turn out on that crane buddy, boy i would have loved to wake up to that on X-mas... Thanks great video. 😀👍👍
Beautiful
I like it.
I still have another generation of this crane - no steering wheel and full hood over the front engine. It can use a restoration but I had fun when I was younger.
Thanks that was a good build . I appreciate your craftsmanship ! I have one similar to what you show but it has no steering , different cab , headlights, and is also missing the crane arm, or mast? I will have to make what I don’t have👍😄. Ok have a nice day.
Muy buena restauración. Bonita maquina
Very cool!
It was a popular toy in its day.
Pretty cool. 🇦🇺
Cool
Perfect
Pretty, pretty nice job man, look unexpectedly (don't know if there is such word in english xD!) high quality at the end, well done!
Quedo de maravilla...
Thanks.
Wow I am amazed at how well that aircraft stripper worked. Also I'm sure that thing looks better than it did new, as evidenced by the original sticker placement. You know what people are always saying about how things aren't built as poorly as they used to be in the olden days... 😏
That is why I pointed it out. Google image search and you will find a bunch of origionals that have mis-aligned decals. Even new in box examples have some poor decal placement. Also the interior of the engines house was not painted at all, so it was very rust in their too
This crane is used in the gumby episode: mirrorland
You are right!
Beautiful outcome.
I personally would have liked to watch the sanding, prep and paint a little more than tapping the wheels back together. 🙂
And everybody else complain that I never showed putting the wheels on my other Restorations as in depth. Can't make everybody happy
@@thejunkman
Oh man... I did not know that.
I hope that you did not take that as a criticism, not my intent in anyway.
It is something that I like to see; not what you should do or show, during the videos.
That is why I started with "I personally would have liked.."
You have amazing outcomes, with the toys that you refurbish.😀
You are more than right, we...
"Can't make everyone happy."
Adding to that, you never will.🙂
Take care.
I was joking and your comment is all good. Check out some of my other restoration videos, not just my toy restorations, they have more of what you want. Also my website has tons of pictures and other tutorials around finishing and painting.
@@thejunkman
Great to "hear."🙂
I am sure as a TH-camr, you get some critique that is not necessary at times.
I have been a subscriber since I watched your Tonka dump truck video.
Take care.
Be cautious with the rattle cans. When spray-painting outdoors the moisture/humidity in the air can condense into the paint stream and really mess up a good painting effort. Indoor air is generally less humid. Use an appropriate exhaust system, though. Another great project.
I live in a very dry climate so that is not as much of an issue. I do have a small bench booth I built but this is too large for that. I am going to have more painting videos in the future so stay tuned. If you watch my Tonka Forklift and Tonka Road Grader video's you can see some Air Spray HVLP techniques used. I do also have an HVLP Air-Assist Airless pump system but that is a bit of overkill for small projects like this.
You should Mod this TOY Add electric motor and lights ^^ Liked and loved this video see ya till the next one
Not this one. If I find a cheap discarded one that needs a lot of work I might consider that.
I do full scale wrecks, totals and antiques. Never saw the spray can 2k clear before!!! That's has possibilities!!!
Its not a silver bullet solution, but very nice for small projects and it is very durable. Fuel proof too, I use it on motorcycle gas tanks too.
I have one of these and am in the process of restoring it. Excellent guide video here! But I'm not having any luck finding axle caps to fit the wheel axles (1/8 inch)--none of the box stores around here seem to list them. Any advice?
Have you tried a regular hardware store like Ace or True Value?
Looks great. Just picked up one yesterday, and going to attempt to put it back together. What luck did you have remaking the steering wheel?
I am still trying to get the mold right. I had several attempts and failures. I need to circle around and try again.
Nice video well done
I'm restoring a nylint michigan crane truck for my grandson. This my be a silly question but What do you mean when you say apply 2 wet coats and 1 dry coat of the spay max 2k clear gloss? I'm pretty good at restoring but never used the spray max before and want to make sure I do it correctly. Thanks I really enjoyed your video!
2 light coats with 20 minute flash time between to get full coverage, then 1 heavier coat that smooths the finish out.
Wow... came out looking wonderful. I'm thinking your little man is going to have lots of fun toy trucks and cars to play with. How is he doing... have you given him any of the toys yet?
Yes he plays with the Tonka truck. This one will be for when he is a bit older
Muito bom o trabalho, excelente, mas você precisa melhorar a iluminação. Coloque um refletor para fazer as gravações dos vídeos. Mas você está de parabéns!
Monday morning hangover, stickers
That Turnd out nice, but did you mess up the stickers they looked straight 😀
Congratulations I looking 4 more Tonka truck toys used 1957 1960 minis & mightys
I would do some serious playing with it after restoration, lol.
Well my son is playing with it hardcore.
@@thejunkman To him you're the coolest dad on Earth, lol.
Thanks.
I have the same crane but I do not have the bucket, do you know where I can get one, because Since I don’t have the bucket I made it with a demolition ball, plus a hook attachment, but I want the original bucket. Thanks Mike, this was one of many truck toys that my dad played with that were handed down to me, I’m trying to restore all of them to give back to my dad for a Father’s Day Ultimate gift as they were given to him by his father before he died, so I’m trying to refurbish my dads childhood toys given by my grandfather I never had to meet
Ebay for it all.
If you spray over the stickers with clear coat, they will last longer.
Really?
if u find anything like this just throw in at the volcano or take ur time restore it
I read this comment 5 times and I still don't understand what a volcano has to do with it. I might submitt this to @jacksfilms for #ygs
More light. no music. Choosing the right music for video is very hard to do. Your craftsmanship is very good. I wanted to hear what you had to say, the spoken information, but I had to turn the sound off.
People complained that I talked too much in other resto videos.
I have that
You gotta get all that old paint off.100% c'mon!
What is the lever by the boom?
It is the lock for the winch
Do you mean it opens the bucket?
The bucket has an automatic trip so it opens when it gets to the top, also it has an automatic close feature when it "digs"
That toy from Gumby episodes
If you can't find a steering wheel, perhaps you could take the wheel you have and have it 3D printed.
I don't know of anyone reproducing those. I have some friends that do some casting at home and thought about doing that, but I am not really set up to sell anything.
That's the beauty of 3D printing. Your original part with be scanned in three dimensional space and then reproduced layer by layer .0001 each layer. A single item may not be economical, but 3D printing people could possibly add your wheel to a larger order. I can see it's not absolutely essential, but it would add that last finishing touch to the truck crane. Keep up the good work. Watching these toys come "back to life" is quite enjoyable.
Well I understand that, but I don't have access to that type of 3D modeling and printing hardware. It has crossed my mind to partner up with someone, but this is just a hobby and personally I would rather have a nice cast piece. Thanks for watching and more videos are coming, but there is plenty of back log for you to watch.

This is designed as a tutorial, however I have improved since then. I thank you for your comment.
Those are stickers, not decals. Decal is not a synonym for sticker.
Thank you for this information.
Don't need to talk at all......it's annoying sorry.
This is designed as a tutorial. I have actually come a long way since this video so you might like the others. Thanks fot the comment.
