SO GLAD TO SEE PEOPLE RESTORING OLD BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE TOYS THATS SO AWESOME TO SEE THE LOVE PUT BACK INTO THOSE OLD CLASSICS DON'T DESTROY EM. RESTORE THEM BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL.
I've always been fascinated with clam bucket cranes. I had a cheap plastic Tonka toy clam bucket crane that didn't last very long lol. I would've put some hours on this one! My favorite part about it is that it has real tandem rear axles.
Hands down, in my opinion, your best ever restoration job. Your videos allways bring me so nostalgic memories of my Christmas and childhood playground days. I thank you so much.
This takes me back to my childhood days! As a little boy to get a Tonka Toy was a life changer! And the quality was by far superior to the crap now days. Beautiful work!

Man, that brings back memories! I think mine had a wasp nest also from leaving it in the sand box too long. I remember my nephews playing with it when they were kids too, tonkas are just built to last
*were not are, the new ones use a lot of plastic.
That Tonka/Ford highway crane truck looks better than new now!
I had this very truck as a kid. Brings back memories.
How perfect, an early 60’s Tonka in a sci-fi movie “ATTACK of the Giant Atomic Killer Mud Wasps”. Perfect restoration!
Totally amazing
I want one of those trucks for my son
@@angelpantigoso1903 You know you really want it for yourself right? 😆
@@capeman10 of course I would like to have one of those trucks not only for my son for me too. toys made from stainless are the best ones
They don't make toys like this anymore. The Tonka trucks and heavy equipment from the 1950' S to the early 1960 'S was the best. This brings back slot of memories.. thank you for the video. This rig was one of my favorites.
There is so much more to restoration... It's frigging spiritual... It's therapeutic!!!
Stunning job sir, and a beautiful piece!
God bless. ❤💪
When a lad, I had a whole set of Tonka State Hiway Dept. Trucks. Made solid and lasted many years until I gave them to mt cousin that let them live outside. Real good quality.
I will say it bring back memories on most of these steel Tonka trucks,
Fantastic job!!
Great restoration. I feel I must comment on the quality of the original design by Tonka. Putting the rear wheels on their own truck so it can move over terrain, the design of the crane mechanism, the vents on the cab, etc. They knew how to make an excellent product.
I restored the same truck for my granddaughters as a Christmas present 3 years ago along with a Tonka front end loader, A Tonka road grader, and a Structo dump truck. All the toys were about in the same shape as yours when I started. On the Tonka Clam, I used "Mother's" polishing paste on all of the cadnium plated parts. The only parts I needed to buy were some glass, wheel covers, and the stickers. To keep the crane house from flopping around on the frame platform, I used body washers with wide nylon washers and adjusted the lock nut snug. It was a lot of work with the "Mother's" to polish all of that out but it came out pretty nice, with only a few black stains showing. I used dish soap with a tooth brush to clean the tires, took a long time, but they shined like new when I was done. One trick I learned is to boil the tires in water, to make them soft, before you assemble them . The wheel covers go on much easier without breaking the little flange that locks the covers in place. I also boiled them to disassemble. I air brushed all of them in safety green, probably was never an original color, but they looked ok.

Magnificent!! Tonka should give you an honorary position.
Nice touch at the end with the dump truck-"To Be Continued...."
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through tough times..
A neighbor kid had the full highway department set, the snowplow with fancy dump box, the grader, the bulldozer and lowboy, and probably this crane. I thought they were so cool but never got one.
They looked so real back then in full Minnesota Highway Department orange paint and markings.
Beautiful job..old toys are just the best!
Hello Joe, what a beautiful job you've done there. I remember these toys when I was a child. Thank for sharing your love for toys of the vintage era. Kind regards. Paul.
Man I would've never restored that. Looked pretty cool as it was.
Best restoration project ever now.
Yes outstanding work
Jesteś wielki . szkoda że już nie produkują takich zabawek . za dziecka też takimi się bawiłem . pozdrawiam .
Once upon a time, when toys were made with love and passion...
👍👍
Eh, these were the cheap toys of their time. Before these they were cast, these are bent sheets of metal. And if you check older Tonkas, they still found ways to cheapen them even more, look at these wheels. Rubber, later ones are plastic with a rubber trim that holds the metal, because they couldn't fully replace that metal insert. But they still cheapened the process and sold them at the same price. Later other corners were cut and so on.
Before china toys
Amazing restoration. As it happens I have the State Hi Way dump truck with two front blades in near new condition. From the same series. I received it as a Christmas present in 1957 at the age of 10.
Yes! I love building machines!
Great work!
Im too
Beautiful restoration sir. Thank you
Tonka are getting very rare! Have you heard of the Tonka Ramp Hoist Truck? Its so rare theres only one restoration video of it on youtube! 🛠🛠🛠
Cette rénovation est émouvante de par la seconde vie donnée à ce jouet magnifique, qui a visiblement échappé à la décharge. Bravo !
Thank you for the great 👍vid! Certainly helps while I'm not at work. Really appreciate it.
Awesome job! Love the ending, super clever. 🐝Thank you for sharing! 👍😀
That wasp nest is a nice bonus... Hope it's a keeper...
That is bad ass put a smile on my face when it was done
Very nice. And the dirt dabber nest pick up sealed the deal. Thumbs Up! Some little kid would love to play with that...
Danke ! Wundervoll ! Hatte einen Tonka Schaufellader ! Danke ! Bin begeistert !
I would have no problem being the new owner of that truck. Excellent job sir 👌. I have one in the attic that I should forward for repair and restoration.
What a great video. So awesome to see these classic Tonka trucks being restored to their original condition. I hope that some young kid gets to play with them once again to experience the fun and joy I had as a kid playing with them. I know its a shame to scratch and dirty them up but thats what makes Tonka a Tonka. Excellent job on this one and by the look of that dump truck that hauled the mud bee nest away at the end of the video you still have some work to do. Take good care and thanks for the great video.
Hey I like that especially the end of this video! Love this vintage Tonka truck cab crane! Professionally rebuilt! Arts & craftsmanship at its best once again! I enjoyed watching. 😀🚒🚛🚘🚧
MAGNÍFICO PARABÉNS PARA ESTE HOMEM👍🌎🇧🇷
Beautiful job, the problem is that I've had quite a few of these trucks and like alot of kids didn't take care of them if only we knew then instead of looking back again excellent job on all the restores
It's a shame they don't make these toys the way they used to. Seems like they're more plastic than metal anymore. Guess that's why I enjoy seeing these classics restored. Excellent restoration.
Parabéns pela restauração ficou perfeito 👏👏
Love watching these little restorations
Awsome work thanks for sharing your awsome talent with us to restore old toys like these its pretty awsome to watch you restore them
Great job. Good use for that mud whaps nest.
Great restoration, and thank you for 11:40. Details make a difference that other restorers just don't get.
Tonka are getting very rare! Have you heard of the Tonka Ramp Hoist Truck? Its so rare theres only one restoration video of it on youtube! 🛠🛠🛠

It takes a long time to perfect these models. Applauding for perseverance. Super!
Nicely done, sir. Looks showroom fresh.
Yes. Excellent!
Perfeito !!! Amazing !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!
I've been collecting trucks, cranes, etc. Some are in real good condition, others not,a few restore. Nice job done. Makes me want to give it a try.
Amazing job.
Awesome job! Plus a possible sneak preview to the next project 🙂
Hola saludos desde Medellín Colombia quiero felicitarte por tu excelente trabajo sos un artista restaurar es todo un arte 👍👍🙏
Brilliant, better than new
Came across this channel and love it! Thank you so much for sharing ..
The best part i really enjoyed is painting. Keep it up!
Perfecto!! 😍😍
I also like that part of every restoration
He's really not painting the parts. He's powder coating them. Still cool though!
@@rtp3962 yes that's, what I'm trying to say.
It's looking cool
Kids now days do not know what a real toy is or the appreciation and joy they could have with them.
Turned out really nice
Yet another Amazing restoration project.
Thank you for sharing with us all.
Cool the unexpected find of the mud wasp nest.
Wonderful job !!! Thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽👍🏽
I like those Mercedes Benz headlights. Superb job! Keep 'em coming.
I tore the page out the Sears Christmas Catalog that had this crane on it and mailed it to my mother. It was in the fall of 1962 or 1963. She thought it was a waste of a stamp. Needless to say, I never got the crane. Nice restore.
Another great restoration
Is it just me, or is the sandblasting part of these type of videos oddly satisfying?
Krsanth it's me to
My hand is raised.
Definately!
this is why i only watch these restorations videos, just to see the sandblasting
Never odd to me. I love that part, getting all that paint and rust off! He does a brilliant job as always.
An FANTASTIC restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Tonka Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Perfect restoration 👍👍👍
Nice work of art classic.
Simplemente,extraordinario.mis respetos y saludos desde argentina.
Crane Truck seen better days!
That Tonka Mobile Crane looks like brand new, great job on the restoration ;-) I bought one like that for my son back in the day. Think he still has it and probably needs a restoration.
Que belleza de camión muchas felicitaciones que buen trabajo.saludos desde cali Colombia
Tolimence
Best ending ever.
So cool, this was one toy I always wanted as a kid, the cool kids had these and I was not one of them:) I think this was your best resto yet Joe, thank you for making the vid! They are getting better by the week my friend.
Me gustan mucho tus vídeos de restauración me acuerdo de mis juguetes de niño. tu trabajo con estos juguetes es increible
oh wow i remember having a toy very much like this :)
Впечатляет толщина металла, все основательно! Ну и конечно труд реставратора вызывает уважение!
Thanks for video.I’ve got one of these sitting on a shelf waiting to be restored. If I may offer a tip: I’ve had a lot of success removing old Tonka hubcaps by waving a heat gun, on low setting, on tires. This makes them soft enough to bend so I can pop out old hubcap without any tire damage so I can reuse old tires. I cringe every time I see your screwdriver. Keep up the great work!
was definitely in need of restoration … a very involved process, this *tonka* … dealt with mechanical aspects … appreciated retained some metal neutral in color … nice results, *joe* .
And you got the crane to work again!!.. 😎!!
Wonderful Job. You make it with so much Love to the Details. Beautiful Work
hats off,wonderful!
Que genial , ese carrito es una joyita..
Fantastic. Keep going great job.
Thanks for posting another excellent video of another excellent Tonka restoration!
Restoring the windshield was the bomb.
Your four Socket was amazed.
Looks great well done
Vroom...vroom , my orange truck does go
Wow!!! Nice restoration.
Que gran trabajo! Volví a ser un niño de 63 años, felicitaciones
Wonderful, maybe the most satisfying so far?
