Oh my gosh, I had one when I was younger. It turns out my was buried under some stuff in my parent's garage so I brought it home to my own kids a few weeks ago. I don't have the means to restore it but I did take it apart and clean it up for them.
@@TomSchisler That's great 😊. Your children can now see what meaningful toys look like👍. Unfortunately, you can't buy anything like this in stores anymore.
Thank you for your comment. I am very happy that you liked the video. Yes you are right, it looks like new. than bought it in the store. Now the tonka crane can survive for the next 30 years.
My brother and I had these. Spent more time arguing about who’s truck was ours than moving sand/dirt. My grandfather finally got tired of the arguing and painted mine red…😅. Loved this restoration. 👍🏼
at my old elementary school (2020) we had a 1960s red tonka wheel loader but I loved it one of my favorite sand box trucks, But, as every thing else, it was destroyed in 3 months. 😭😭😭😭😥
Really cool find. If I may, are some of these for clients or just lucky finds?... lol. Nice that it you found this in great shape. I know my Tonka dump was a lot worse. Great job giving it "new" life.
I have a tonka crane my parents bought me for Christmas when I was little. I still have it and would like to one day have it restored and give it to my grandson.
Interesting work, completely finished the crane unit then tackled the cab unit. By the time you finished the crane, I was looking around for Blythe truck frame. Thanks for sharing this video. 👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
Very nice work, P & H stands for Pawling and Harnishfeger, P & H mining equipment was a subsidiary og Joy Global Inc. which was acquired by Komatsu Ltd. in 2017.
I have the Nylint version, which is mostly the same, except Nylint cranes were tri-axle instead of bi-axle, which I always thought and still do think look better.
So glad I found you. Awesome video. Preparing to restore my first Tonka toy. Do you have a link to supplies like the rubber exhaust pipes, tank, lift handle?
I think this crane is a beautiful model. You have carried out a beautiful and successful restoration! Everything is beautiful painted. However, I miss some moments of the assembly, such as the assembly of the crane turning system.
I had the whole collection of tonka truck, bulldozer,front end loader, Crane and the grader and a couple more but I don't remember.Between me and my brothers we had the whole collection until my older brothers decided to blow them with firecracker 🧨🧨🧨 M-80's. I was pissed about that.
@@MWRestoration all the paint is gone ,the windshield is yellowed and cracked , the teeth on the bucket are bent/ missing, it would be great if I could find someone to fix it for me so can give back it to my dad. I will try to find a picture if you are interested
Please understand that I do not restore other projects. Because I don't have time due to time constraints. If the tonka is that badly damaged I would buy a second one to butcher it off. Then you have the necessary parts you need.
I have this exact same model but I am missing the window and cab on the crane part and the crank lift assy I'm wondering if those parts are still available I hope so would you know by chance
As always inspiring again. I have an old Crane too waiting to be fully restored. Why did you cut the axles in half rather than fix them up entirely with the use of 'original' hubcaps? And I see the use of modern conical fasteners with newly threaded rods. Are repro's of the old ones not available? Just being curious, because I'll have to make some decisions as well, regarding my Crane. And do you know how to get brown tarnished windshields transparent again? Nice job you've done there!
I have a crane a crane that I want to restore . Where do you purchase the rivet kit and installation tool as well as the decals, new cable for the boom and bucket. I do not have a powder coat system and will be spray painting it, what is the color yellow that matches the original color? Can you provide a breakdown of the chemicals you used to clean the plastic parts and the Tires?

Still have mine in the attic. One of my most favorite pieces. Wish it looked like yours! AWESOME WORK. 👌👌
I have about 150 mighty tonkas, several of every model. Looking forward to more restoration videos.
I had one Tonka as a kid and it was very similar to this crane. So nice see one come back to life.
@@TomSchisler That's great 😊. Your children can now see what meaningful toys look like👍. Unfortunately, you can't buy anything like this in stores anymore.
Just watched this w my 2 yr old son. We loved it!!
I ALWAYS wanted one of these as a child, ALWAYS!
I think every kid would want one of these 😁
Great Video MW Restoration!!
Thanks 😊
Thats awesome 👌 thanks for sharing 👍
That's a very solid restoration job right there. As good as new, if not better.

Never had the crane, but I did get the classic dump truck
Tonka was a very great toy. They have so many different models
Я о такой игрушке в детстве мечтал. Даже делал сам подобное из дерева. Вот было время. 😢
Good job.
Thanks bro 😊
Top Restoration 👍
Managing to fit back in that exhaust must have been a huge relief.
Yes man 😁😅
My brother and I had these. Spent more time arguing about who’s truck was ours than moving sand/dirt. My grandfather finally got tired of the arguing and painted mine red…😅. Loved this restoration. 👍🏼
The good old days 😁
Wow. That crane was in incredibly good condition before the restoration. Quite a find.
Yes you are right. It wasn't extremely rusty.
A very good Job and perfect Video 🌹❤️👍❤️
Thanks 😊
I grew up playing won't with one of those Tonka type of trucks
Nostalgia ❤️
Amazing to see the toy you also own since childhood be turned to it's full shiny glory 😍
Mine definitely looks better than this one used to do
Now the Tonka can survive again for the next 30 years 😁😎
@@MWRestoration only 30? Pretty sure it survived like 5 decades with the original coatings 😉
Шикарно!!!
Amazing job my friend congratulations
Thanks 😊
Nice model though, well done restored 🎉
Thank you 😊
Now thats a Tonka!
Yes 👍
Gorgeous restoration job as always, my dude! 🤟🤜🤛
Nice job on that one good ol toy from the 70s 👍✌️
These are the toys that, when I was little, really imagined was bring built at Santa's workshop. You're one of his hard-working elves! ❤
LOL 😂👍
Jolie grue 🏗️ !!! Moi j’ai que des liebherr
Magnifique restauration, très beau travail 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very cool Tonka, well done.
Thanks Bro 😊👌
I still have my crane up in the attic unfortunately it looks like the before rather than the after it was well loved for many many years
Отличная работа!
благодаря тебе 😊👍
I had one that looked very similar from the early 80s. Last I seen it, it was sitting in the woods behind my parents old house.
О такой игрушке могли только мечтать, да и наверное могла достаться самым воспитаным детям
WOW I REMEMBER I HAD THOSE TONKA TRUCKS BACK IN THE EARLY 70s GREAT JOB 💯👍BEAUTIFUL NOW THEIR COLLECTORS ITEMS ✌️
I have one right now in need of a resto. If only I had your shop.
very good job !

Just beautiful 😻

I had one as a kid in the 80s the boom was solid back had no holes
Tonka was also a very popular brand back then. Unfortunately, they no longer make metal toys😔.

Perfeito 🎉🎉🎉

Hermoso !!!
Thanks 😊
Magnificent 🇦🇺 🍻
I have two of them one old and one slightly newer
Cool that you also own Tonka toys
Como sempre ficou impecável 👏
👍😊
Awesome
🤩😊
I had one when I was young I was 4 or 5 but I had one of those tonka truck very hard to brake since all metal they dont make toys like they used to
Nowadays toys are not like they used to be. Than just plastic. I think it's a shame.
I have the Nylint version, which is mostly the same, except Nylint cranes were tri-axle instead of bi-axle, which I always thought and still do think look better.
You are right these models look better 👍
So many parts😍 wonderful work as always!
So glad I found you. Awesome video. Preparing to restore my first Tonka toy. Do you have a link to supplies like the rubber exhaust pipes, tank, lift handle?
I got to say it I wish I had the tools to restore stuff.
Is it just me or does it look like it bends in the middle to fold the crane up so it can safely drive on the roads?
I think this crane is a beautiful model. You have carried out a beautiful and successful restoration! Everything is beautiful painted.
However, I miss some moments of the assembly, such as the assembly of the crane turning system.
What a really thorough restoration work! Great job
What is the name of the tool you use in assemble part 1? Around 8:46min
Well done! Looks New!
great
Thanks 😊
@@MWRestoration Nothing to thank for
Great resto...love Tonka....but I don't think you thought out the rebuild too well 😄
Yes that can be 😅
Don’t paint the black plastic parts. Use heat/fire to restore them.
👍
im just sayin but why would you spray paint the tires and rims? you know how its going to look in no time
eu tambem tentei fazer um desse

A few steps missing. How do you clean the glass
Hello. I have a question, where can I order this rivet clamp? Greetings from Germany
My dads got the same one in my grandparents basement, everything is very rusty and probably needs to be replaced
Then they also restore their tonka crane. give her a second life ❤️

What paint gun are you using power with g-coat is that powder coating that goes in the oven

where do you get the hardware top hats and rivets for these builds? thanks
What do you use for an oven?
