Complete restoration of a Wyandotte Tractor Shovel.
It's a very unique toy.
This one was challenging in that it was like a Chinese puzzle box. It had to go together in a specific order or other pieces would be difficult or impossible to assemble. The crank box is a perfect example.

This is a major restoration, the result is impressive. A small note: the tires on the left and right side are mounted differently. The left wheel of the tractor has the correct direction of rotation.

Looks great!! But why didn't you paint the rivets?? Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

@fair2middlin 2 жыл бұрын

I concur. Holding a swab in front of the spray can blast can give enough paint to paint those rivets.....

@markharrison3445 Жыл бұрын

Just curious about the rust remover step which also removed most of the paint. Why not skip this step and go right to sandblasting which would remove both rust and paint? I want to learn. Thanks so much for another great video.

I suspected lead in the paint. I didn't want to create lead dust in my blast cabinet. thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

Loved the Restoration until the Pop Rivets.. why not the Authentic rivets with the pintonka tool?

@fair2middlin 2 жыл бұрын

As a thrifty toy sometimes-restorer, it is because the PinTonka tool is more than the joy of restoring this cheaply-- would cost. How many toys do you have to restore before the $110 tool pays for itself? Then you have to buy special rivets.....

Nice job. What happened to the piece of metal you put in the rust remover?

@onemansgarage6203 2 жыл бұрын

It darkened and shrunk slightly but was still intact after 12 hours. It had alloys in it though. I thinking the missing gear was solid aluminum and just melted, but I'm not 100 sure. It was pressed on however so it didn't just fall off. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

I assume this toy is not a model of a real tractor. It would kill the driver🤕

@onemansgarage6203 Жыл бұрын

I actually saw this tractor in a documentary on mining. Yes it is real, and yes it dumps over the operator's head. Scary isn't it? Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Sorry for the late reply, I overlooked your comment somehow. cheers!

What is the name of the rust remover you use that strips paint also? Lol. Seriously though.😊

@onemansgarage6203 11 ай бұрын

ZEP - I use it when I suspect lead in the paint (you don't want to sandblast that), or if the paint may come off in large chips in my blasting cabinet. Per the manufacturer, it should NOT be used on marble, terrazzo, travertine, natural stone, chrome, stainless steel, brass, or Corian. I will usually use Evapo-Rust (acid free) - due to safety, ease-of-use and reusability. (ZEP is reusable also but gets pretty nasty eventually) Thanks for the question and thanks for watching!

@onemansgarage6203 cool. You are welcome, and I used evapo-rust myslef.

@onemansgarage6203 11 ай бұрын

I will tell you that it is important to have the part COMPLETELY submerged in the liquid or the chemical action will etch a line in the part, right at the spot where the air meets the top of the liquid. You can see this on the Craftsman square I cleaned up for a friend. Learned my lesson.

@onemansgarage6203 I've done that too, extremely hard and time consuming to fix, lol
