I love watching your videos. You take old toys that are do far gone that most people would throw them away like garbage. But you bring the new life and keep them from being tossed. It truly is amazing.
TRG you are the master in Restoration; and the way you fixed children s lost toys and bring them back to be played again 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥳🦺🦺🦺🦺🦺🦺
An OUTSTANDING restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when It left the Marx Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
The road grater is an important toy because up until the 1960s, roads in America hadn't been made using them. Lots of roads are still variably bumpy because they haven't been grated even. New roads are, as are interstate highways. Kids had dump trucks but the road grater took awhile. So until road construction had them, it was rare to see them.
Dear Jim, always surprising with new tecnics...
I would like to thank for the inspiration, today I started my project number 7, a 1959's Nylint Ford series U-HAUL and I started on this because of you! Thanks for your job and congratulations!
Now these are real toys. Made to be played with in the dirt for years and years.
I had a privileged childhood it seems, and will probably still play with these toys in the dirt if i still had them!
Great job. This was made when toys were built to last. They deserve to be restored.
Always good to see old toys being brought back to life. Wish I had some like this when I was growing up.
Not only fascinating to watch a piece of junk become like new, but so entertaining as well.
Duke was a real help!
Those were the toys for children to PLAY with
I like it!! Great job. Can't get over the blue tires. Think that's the first time I've seen those.👍👍
It didn't really make any sense to me when it was all rusty and faded. But once it was all new and shiney, the colors actually look pretty good together.
Weird how they are a blue color but thats what they were back then

Nice restoration, but why not paint the tires black? Great video!
Nice Lumar grader. Marx made a lot of cool toys. You don't see too many of those graders that are complete.
There is something oddly satisfying about a time-lapse of a sandblaster.
Thanks!
I agree. There is something oddly satisfying.
Oh good, I thought it was just me.
@@melaniegoyeau5990 XZVM
Nicely done!!
Thanks!!
Wow!!!! This guy works Fast!!!!😃😃😃😃
BRAND NEW GRADER!!!! Great restoration TRGR, you are very talented restoring toys!!.
this Tonka Grader is definitely underappreciated - such a cool toy to save. I also recently restored one and it was a lot of fun! Great job!
Funny statue guy great job on the tractor though one of the best restoration deals I've ever seen thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
@@TRGRESTORATIONS your welcome
Awesome job looks great.
*you'r fun like a Child: "Duke" "yeeeeeeeii" i loved it! 💜 Great job! Sorry, I'dont speak english. Salutes from México.*
Greetings*
Your English is fine. Fun is universal.

Same thing.
Not bad your english... I from india
Nice shiny paint job....
Well done she looks lovely in her new yellow coat! Fancy driving that down the road!
at the end of your rebuild you should bring the kids back in for another round of cheers...

Excellent job as always and of course the sandblasting was immensely satisfying. But odd that the tires are blue. Seems like maybe they could have originally been black and somehow the plastic oxidized that bluish color.
That is new blue tires looks cool
Great restoration. To nice to let someone play with it.
If I'm not watching Diesel Creek saving a real 60s vintage Gallion grader I'm here watching a much smaller scale Tonka grade being brought back from the dead
Amazing work Done
Good Restoration..
Excellent stuff… 👍🏼
You forgot to straighten the front panel of the cab where the steering rod comes through after bending it out of alignment to fit the rod.
I do enjoy your vids, keep up the god work :)
Have many fond memories of playing in the dirt with one of these. I don’t remember it having blue wheels though.
I believe they're sun-bleached
I had one of these and remember the wheels as definitely being black.
Blue tires makes any scale toy to loose realism... OMG!...

I had a friend who had one of these. I was in love with it. Great job!
Excelente trabajo amigo 👏👏👏👏
Will try my best to watch your 2 videos daily and end them before this month.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Absolutely amazing how it came out after!!
Well done 👍🏼
Qué chido la neta
Very nice job as new i like it!
I remember having one of those as a kid,it was so fun
Looks great ,i did a tonka grader earlier this spring,a low budget restoration.
Brilliant job!
Caught me out with the blasting cabinet appearing so early - I nearly didn't have time to shout, "yaaaaaaay"!
astounding job well done
I LOVE YOUR WORK. YOU Are AN AMERICAN HERO. WORKING WITH YOUR HANDs LIKE MY DAD TAUGHT US..AKA KOREAN WAR SOLDIER MY HERO,. Dad DIED LAST YEAR AT 89. Covid in Cal robbed us of our final moments with him. HE ALWAYS HAD TIME TO SHOW ME HOW TO WORK IN OUR LITTLE SHOP WITH HIS HANDS…A TEAMSTER, WORKING MAN, WORKED HARD FOR HIS FAMILY..MY THREE ADULT SONS MISS THEIR GRANDPA…..so do I, you remind me of my Dad, I’m a pussy weeping as I write this….I’m leaning on my table saw watching you as I make a bird house for my Grandaughter….
روعه عمل فني دقيق وجميل 👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸

Nice work 👍
Played with one of those growing up in the 70's!
Very impressive. Have you ever come across a toy that was too rusted out to save?
Epic job on the restoration
Nice 🚜
Man I could watch that sand blaster for hours.... Oh wait, I have.....
They sure knew how to make each Tonka different
Awesome resto.
So satisfying watching the cleaning machine get cleaned. 😁
I played with that stuff when I was a kid and I've never seen blue tires.
I think the black dye faded or maybe they were dark blue to begin with.
@@jacquelynnmartin6210 idk I'm positive he would have painted them black if they would have been faded into a blue. But either way I love watching this stuff :))))
Artistic license?
I was wondering the samething maybe the cleaning brought out a blue pigment that only the camera can see and that why we are seeing it...because like previously stated i think he would have repainted them.
I think some black paint/dye would have been nice.
Man, I really wish I kept my Tonka Toys. The real ones made out of metal!!!!!😃😃😃😃
Do you keep these restored vehicles in a collection or do you sell them? I would love to see a video of your collection.
beautiful job
Great 👍 job I like the color is beautiful,stay safe and stay home 🏠 see you next time,hasta luego chico adiós 👋
I love it! Beautiful job!
Excelent job as Always.
Being a grader driver I had to watch this but when I seen “ Power Grader” ( Power is my last name) I had to laugh. Great job mate. Love it 😍
👋
So your living the dream? :)
Crispy Zombie Animation I wouldn’t say that.
Great job like always
Rewatched the video ......
Missed a chance to remark about.....
Good OL .....
Southern Deep Fried Shafts and Axels .
Very nice! Why did you harden (quench) the axels?
I have a question, what do you do with these toys when you're done? Do you give them to kids to play with again? Then again would kids even play with these toys today? What brought this to mind is in the background I could hear some kids playing. Kids playing far enough way is a very soothing nice sound.
Is the sand replaced or reused multiple times. If it is reused then the other past restorations help clean the next. :) Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes my day brighter.
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Awesome work as always.
Best part for kids ,Yaaaaaaaaay
Mike Espo .
Great job! I wish I had such a toy when I was a kid
Deserve a million sub
We just got a new TV and it is amazing! First thing Im watching is a Tonka truck restoration. Sand blasting in 4k is a game changer.
After looking at the car's new paint color, it is unbelievable that it has rusted !
Tous simplement magnifique 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for watching!
Nice!!
У меня скрейпер и зилы железные были, старые игрушки супер
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤣🤣
Great work!! Very clean and professional.
Very relaxing video.
Still I think that the part under the grader (the one who push the sand or soil) should be RED!
After all it is a TOY...
Don't be afraid to add some art of your own.
Thank you for beautiful video!!
I still got one of these that my parents bought me back around 1974 ..its just as rusty looking
better than new!!!
Good helpers are hard to find. Nice grader
Great job
Awesome Job, Tim! The before pictures looked like the grader we used at the quarry. Lol!
Love you vids very relaxing and informative.
Thank you!
So nice 👍🏻
Man, i really love your work. Watched almost all of your work, but I' m little bit miser on liking videos and commenting them. So here i comes again for like and comment.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Such a simple, satisfying toy. Thank you.
Very nice work. Keep it a hobby and you will enjoy for a long time.
Beauty Grader toy.
Is Duke a "Klepto?" lol... So enjoy your work, great job once again....
Hermoso !!!
When I was young about 6 years old my parents bought me the whole Tonka road building set after they forgot my birthday.
Wow I'm glad they did that for you after they forgot your birthday

great work
Hey Tim
This just looks amazing to me😁
It was very good. Like.
Great job as usual, the blue tires kind of threw me off though I'm not used to seeing those I wonder if they were black at 1 time but the color just leeched out over time
Not a tonka
impressive job but never seen a grader with blue tyres before !
Nice job
Nice work. It looks good, I can't help but wish they didn't use those odd blue tires. Thumbed up.
Great job.Makes me want to go dig my old toys out.
Que maravilha! Ficou show, parabéns!
man that sand machine does miracles
Amazing job sir! Appreciate you content!
