    Tonka Toy Restoration - Toy Repair Tonka 1970
    In this video I restored a vintage toy from 1970. This Tonka T6 Bulldozer was very rusty and some parts was replaced with new ones. Now it's perfectly restored and ready to be used in a new childhood. Because no discoveries have yet been made about the color codes used by tonka company,many of us,use 1023 ral. I hope you liked the whole restoration process, which I try to perfect daily. Tonka Toy Restoration - Toy Repair Tonka 1970

    This really brings me back. I had this and many other construction vehicles as a kid. I remember "making concrete" using rocks, sand and water in the mixer. Such great toys before plastic replaced steel and sharp edges with pointy corners.

    My birthday is 2 days before Christmas. Hence I received 1 present for both. However it was Tonka metal toys. The large size. One a year. I received them up into early 40s of age.
    I took “2” only at once to play in the dirt. Wash them off,dry them, place them back for two different toys. A”few” natural light scratches from dirt that was rich, black soft garden dirt.
    So proud, as an Uncle my nephew(s) wanted them badly.
    I divided the Tonkas between them. Care written and explained instructions to kids and parents.
    Busy working long hours and years, I visited quite some time later. I found 1/2 buried, 1/2 rusted away.
    That day, a grown man cried for each Tonka he entrusted in love to nephews who never learned what love and care truly is. 40YRS later, tears still fall.

    My brothers had metal Tonka Toy trucks when we were little. One was a bulldozer and one was a dump truck. My mother bought my son one of the last metal trucks made. They were good sturdy toys until they started making them out of plastic.

    In 1973 I got a whole construction company from my parents. It was the Complete Tonka set with hard hat. I was 3 yrs old. Then in 1978 I got this little jewel in the video.
    I remember playing with them and trying to keep the neighbors cats out of my sand box. I had those toys until I graduated high school then went into the military.
    I don't know what happened to them but I wish my boys had them because they were near indestructible.
    I miss building roads and hauling rock.

    I had one of these as a young kid in the mid to late 70s. Loved it, so thanks for the memories. I seem to remember the paint being gloss rather than matt - rose tinted memories? Anyways - an excellent job on the restoration. They wouldn't make them like that now - to be 'indestructible'. Companies nowadays want things to break after a set time, so that you 'have to' buy a replacement. Shame.

    Check to be sure but I am fairly sure that if you undercoat a yellow paint with pink paint, the yellow will be more vivid, distinct, more yellow, than using just a grey primer, ie primer, pink, yellow. That was a lot just to say use pink under yellow for better yellow results.
