Thanks. It reminds me of the good old days. I didn't know that there was a dozer with this type of spring cylinder. These toys were made to laaaaassssst for a long time ! Great job !
Absolutely beautiful restoration! Love seeing your work and allowing these wonderful toys to have an extended life. Also, not to be discarded into the trash.
Thank you for saving this dozer. I wish I could have shown my dad this restoration- he was in excavation for over 50 years- started with an OC3-Oliver.
I totally had one of those!!! Oh man! I forgot all about it until now. I was 4 or 5 years old. Great memories and VERY satisfying to see it come back to life. Thank YOU!! Now, as to what happened to it.... Ummm.... I was an idiot and forgot and left it behind at a park once. Went back with mom the next day and it was gone.
What an awesome restoration on the bulldozer. The flatbed looks great also what a great carrier for the bulldozer. Love your channel and content keep up the awesome work. Always waiting for the next video. ❤🇨🇦
@@joe_diy I watched the lowboy video when you first put it out and was wondering what you might Restore to go with it. They both look great! Please keep the vids coming.
Another great restoration and it looks fantastic… I must say though, i kind of prefer the way it was, a nice honest patina almost represented a real life machine of the same age?
I used to have a few no paint I sold 2 one I made it with my sticker. A caterpillar yellow dozer the other was rougher made it John Deere yellow and green as I saw on then changed the the blade made my own cutting edge and planted it black for the blade that stayed in my office until last Christmas a friend son saw it and his dad bought it he 3 but used in in the house
I love when people restore things. From Tonga trucks, watches, to Porsches

They had a couple different cylinder designs. Tonka had some great designers over the years
Another classic TONKA saved!!! Beautiful restoration. TONKA 💪
Amazing joe
I may be wrong, but I think this is the least beat up item that you have restored!
Fantastic job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
It was one of cleaner ones for sure!
Hard to believe now that we would play in the dirt with toys like this for hours at a time.
What a welcome back restoration. Yo, Joe👍!
This one is in good condition compared some of the other ones I’ve seen. Nice job. 👍👍👍
Yeah, I usually look for rustier ones but I really wanted to restore a dozer for my lowboy and had this one on hand.
I must admit that is AWESOME! great restoration at all.
EXCELLENT JOB GUY...MY CONGRATULATIONS TOO...👏👏👏👏👏👏

Seems like I've awoken some suppressed memories. I'll send you the bill for my restoration therapy!
@@joe_diy Haha! Fair enough.
I had one of the more modern bulldozers but I love the look of the classic one.
Great restoration! Looks awesome! 👍👍
AMAZING WORK, LOOKS BETTER THAN NEW.

Great looking dozer! Looks awesome on the lowboy!
Built the lowboy with a dozer in mind. Finally made it happen!
@@joe_diy I watched the lowboy video when you first put it out and was wondering what you might Restore to go with it. They both look great! Please keep the vids coming.
To be honest I found that annoying sound kind of satisfying knowing that this old toy is being brought back
Super nice job! Looks fantastic!

It was a little on the nicer side but I had a hard time finding one in worse shape.
Shouldn’t there be a Rubberized Plastic tip on end of the control leaver?
HE’S BACK
Nice work !

groovy❤🇺🇸🐘
You need your Tonka truck crane to unload it off the flatbed ,don't want to hurt yourself lifting it🤣
Makes you wonder how long it'll last especially with the powder coating.. 50, 80, 100+ years? Fantastic work!
В СССР кстати был подобный бульдозер который по дизайну стянули с этого 🤦🏿🤦♂️🤦🏼🤦🏼
Like from USSR
If only a CATERPILLAR ! Was this Easy ! To Pull APART ! INSTEAD ! of this ! TONKA !
I have a Doepke Cat D6 and I can already tell it will be a nightmare to pull apart. This one was easy
awesome it's been quite a while since you last made a video
Needed a break but I'm back!
Que paciencia por salvar estos hermosos juguetes 🤗 muy bien 🙆👍
❤❤🌺🌺🌸🌸
Joe whats the time frame for a resto like this one?
Hi Joe, nice work! What is the name of the clamp thing you used on the rivets?
That's called the pintonka tool. Very handy
The rivet clincher You are using I have been looking for some time. Can you or anybody please tell me where to buy it
It's called the pintonka tool. Arbortime makes it
@@joe_diy thank you so much
ficou otimo
Where do you get those rivets from and what are they called?
Gasolinealleytoys.com. hollow rivets
I have an old tonka dozer if you're interested
