MATCHBOX Restoration No 50b John Deere Tractor 1964

Рет қаралды 182,516

Күн бұрын

This tractor needed some TLC! - Someone loved it but almost loved it to death. With it's tyres, steering wheel and paint missing, it looked ready for the bin. I could not turn my back on this one and so I took up the challenge to restore it to near new condition. It wasn't easy as I had to manufacture some parts which were unobtainable. I also paired it up with the No 51 trailer, without this it seemed incomplete. Now it can have a happy retirement for the rest of it's life down on the farm.

Quite amazing to see these iconic toys from our childhood being restored to their original glory. It's very evocative to see them again, and they were very good quality. It's no wonder they have had a hard life, they were always very well played with!!

Marty, I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed discovering your channel. I grew up in the 60s and have / had many of the match boxes I've seen you work on. AND, I hand painted them! You've now given me hope that I MIGHT try my hand at restoring them to their semi-original condition. And, even if I choose to not take that on, in part for lack of tools, I'll still enjoy thinking about restoring them! Good day!

06:06 - The rear tyre that was on the tractor was, in fact, a CORGI truck tyre. Lesney tyres were always polythene of a very tough formulation. CORGI used soft rubber, which perished or went brittle after several years. Matchbox tyres were almost indestructible - the annoying thing, though, is that, for some reason, the rims shrink, and the tyre becomes loose. I find UHU glue is the best thing to secure the tyre. Spread round the wheelrim, and leave to get tacky, and do the same to the inside of the tyre. When both are tacky to the touch, fit together. They'll stay together. Superglue does not adhere well to polythene, and will leave a white bloom on the plastic. The finished tractor and trailer look awesome. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Another great (and ingenious) resto.! I think you'll find that a decent pair of precision cuticle/nail scissors will allow you to trim off that floss and stray flashing quickly and neatly. Can't wait for the next one! 👍

Marty, as an avid John Deere collector I have well over 150 tractors and assorted JD items. I had NO idea that Matchbox made a JD tractor. Now I am on a quest to find one to add to my collection. Of course I will need to look for that trailer too. Thank You so much for this GREAT video ! Chris in Missouri

I'm surprised that the wheels were in such good shape. With the tires missing and so much of the paint gone, you'd think the wheels would have been all scratched up and gouged. Nicely done as always!
