- Restoration of a Tonka concrete mixer. It was time to shoot a new Tonka Restoration video. The Tonka concrete mixer was very rusty. It was not an easy restoration project. But the result looks fantastic.

I bought the Tonka Cement Mixer on eBay for € 15. At first glance, the Tonka truck didn't look that bad. But when all the parts were disassembled, I saw how bad the condition is. There was a thick layer of rust under the paint. You could leave the paint by hand.
The rust was removed by sandblasting. Then the parts were dented. Holes caused by the rust have been filled. The parts were then primed by the Tonka concrete mixer and then painted.
The wheels were sanded with 300-grit sandpaper. The surface was then processed with a light flame. This gives the plastic a nice black color again.

Awesome restoration job. So glad someone restores these toys and gives them a new lease on life. Keep up the good work.
In the 50s, our father had a construction company. He built us a huge sandbox and gradually filled it with every piece of heavy equipment Tonka made. Watching you work on these pieces brings back fond memories of the many hours spent in that sandbox with those pieces. My favorites were the crane and dump truck, though I made good use of them all. Thanks!
You just turned it back into a functional, pretty and safe toy without unnecessarily filling the pittings or using powder coat. It is a toy. Thank you for not overdoing the restoration.
This brought back memories. I had this very toy growing up in the 80s.
This looks amazing. That was very clever, sanding and then repainting the faded and scratched plastic parts. It never would have occurred to me to do this.
Holy rust batman! The Cement mixer looks like it was left out in the rain for years on end. Outstanding job restoreing it.
I just can't get enough of sandblasting projects. It is so satisfying!
I worked my cement mixer half to death in the sandbox in my parents' backyard and never once realized that the front half of the drum was blocked off...dumb kid lol.
Amazing nostalgia trip and a stunning result, thanks for sharing.
I did the same thing with mine!
Fortunately, my parents still have all of the Tonka Trucks my brother's and I had!
I remember getting the Cement Mixer for my 4th or 5th Birthday [1984-1985] and it quickly became my favorite toy.
I'm glad thst one day I'll be able to preserve all those summer memories of my two older brother's and I playing in the sandbox with our trucks!
I don't remember subscribing to this channel, and had been thinking about my rusty old cement mixer truck recently.
Sublime !!!!! Bravo. What about a BIGTRAK ?
For the only way in which a durable peace can be created is by world-wide restoration of economic activity and international trade.
nice job working trucks
Almost lost me with the hand brushing/sanding but the painting skills kept me to the end. Great vid and a like from me.
The concrete shoot was originally black. You do really good work. I collect the Tonka toys. Wish they made them like that now days.
Now its good for many more years of play and making children happy
My wife thinks I’m crazy keeping our kids Tonka toys in the attic for some day…just picked one up out of a busy street that looked like it was run over.
Fantastic job. Looks brand new. Thanks!!!
You were very fortunate in that no parts were broken (expensive to replace and difficult to fabricate)….excellent restoration. Best wishes and stay healthy!
😉😉👍👍
Great work good sir
Thanks😊
That was really thorough!

Wow!!!... Very good restoration...
You are best restoration 👍
I was amazed how well that rusty truck cleaned up. Fantastic work as usual!
ITS ALL RUST! THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO TRUCK LEFT!!! 😳😬
I love watching these videos, restoring these Tonka trucks. my brother and I had all of them....
That has to be the easiest paint removal I've ever seen
i owned one of these that year it was given to me great to see this one restored

After sanding the scratches out of the plastic windscreen, try dipping it in some floor polish, then letting it dry under a cover to prevent dust particles from getting in.
Got that tip from the TH-cam channel, Marties Matchbox makeovers
That would have made a terrific addition to the apocalyptic STEEL MONSTERS line years ago! (I would have called it the MIXMONSTER)
I'm wondering why you didn't do the peroxide and UV light trick to de-yellow and restore the plastic drum and Windows.
Can't believe it turned out so well after seeing all that rust, its also a wonder that mixer hasn't cracked over time. You could try UV light bleaching the white plastics using hydrogen peroxide its what they do to restore yellowing consoles.
Yeah, it's called retrobrighting and it helped out a lot of my dad's old power ranger zord figures
Very very nice restore job my hats off to you great I love it
the best channel to sleep

doruk erbarut so relaxing
I’m not the only one.
I had one of these as a kid, but it was a light green color, not yellow. If I recall it also had 6 wheels. Kept that thing in pristine condition, and my son played with it when we visited the grand parents.
It's a concrete truck not a cement truck great job I actually have the same one I've been working on but you do a way better job than I do
Stunning transformation
Terrific job........John
Magnificent restoration. First class workmanship. Subscribed
This is the 2nd Tonka truck that I played with as a kid that I've seen you restore. And yes, I still have this one, too.
Nice work it's good to see these old toys being restored👍
A superb restoration... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
ok so a restoration with the blueballs at the end... geesh!! wow
Beautiful job. I bought a Tonka truck for my son in 1975, he came in for lunch and somebody took it. He had it for one day.
Absolutely marvelous job. All that rust sure made it easy in getting the paint off. The transformation is fantastic. I wouldn't have given you two cents for that truck before it.
Tonka era mi carron favorito
Seu trabalho e top amigo , parabéns , sou do Brasil ✌️ vejo TDS seus videos
Hello MWrestoration - great job and you made it brand new! I also enjoy restoring TONKAs - I subcribed!
I've got 4 of the Tonka trucks like this.

This was when Tonka was the best. Metal. Now, sadly, they went to cheap plastic. Thanks for a great restore.
Como sempre ficou impecável 👏
Thanks 😊
Absolutely amazing 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job it look like a good little boy is getting something special for a birthday or Christmas
The Cab and Chassis look great!!
Nice job
There are plastic caps available to put on the end of the rivet set. Also a soft variety of rivet. Doesn’t require much force but should be strong enough to hold the pieces together.
in the USSR, I had such a toy, the author thank you for your effort
Nice work👌👌👌👌
i had this when i was a kid man i loved making mud in it man i would love to have my old one back
Masterpiece ! And great perfect color acid yellow
I love rescue and restore but I have watched all his videos. I have had a hard time finding a channel I like just as much until now. Well done sir.
Same
¡Wow excelente trabajo! Saludos desde México. 🙋🏻♂️
Отличная работа🤘
Beautiful job! Congrats!
One word.....amazing
Well, at least getting the 80's paint off was easy. Good restore!
Played with those in the 50s. Had the crane, car carrier, dump truck, semi truck.
From Puerto Rico. You are the best #1🙋♀️🤗👏👏👏👏
cool restoration! just one little thing. the color yellow they use is more a mustard yellow, not a canary yellow.
That truck must have been buried or sitting outside for a very long time. Excellent work restoring it!

Like it rolled off the showroom floor ! Outstanding work !
MW, how often do you start a restoration and realize it's beyond being saved?
Yes, I often have that feeling. I'm starting a restoration project. Then I realize that it is no longer possible to restore. But somehow the result always looks good in the end. So never give up. Until you can.
I love when it gets powder coated
Now that's a rebuild. Good on you!
Totally amazing transformation !!
It's strangely satisfying how the cracked paint came off itself lol
Because it was deeped at factory bare metal wasn't prepared
Yeah l now

great work on the body and tires especially. Nice upgrade on the white color for the mixer too. Really pops now. Why did you decide to go yellow instead of black on the slide at the back?
Cool! Amazing!
You are very careful with the work. Congratulations. From Brazil.
Tonka was wrapping vehicles back in the '80s.
You do a great job on those toys
I used to have one growing up and the dump truck and front end loader and bulldozer and the road grader they was some tuff toys
Just found this channel and o boy I actually know someone w/ this exact cement truck [needs restored] ...
I see Andy Dufrense from Shawshank lent you his little hammer to get the job done. Awesome restoration, thanks for sharing.
I appreciate all the hard work. Enjoyed the vid.
another great tonka piece comes back from the dead, beautiful work
Very nice! You are very crafty.
I salute you
Wow i had that one, the dump truck and the crane truck when i was kid.
Loved these Tonkas as a kid! Also, are these the original Tonka colors? I'd think they'd be hard to find.
I verry impressed bij your skills
My favorite
Obrigado
I was amazed how the paint just pealed off.
An INCREDIBLE transformation!!... AWESOME job especially considering all the rust you had to contend with!!
I’d like to know where they kept this poor thing. Mine is still in really good shape considering it’s age.
Great resto! 👏🏻👍🏻
Chris Juarez.its not a poor thing.....it was loved and played with
Awesome videos. I reccomend finding a old vintage bing live steam locomotive and restoring it.
