Restoration of a Tonka concrete mixer. It was time to shoot a new Tonka Restoration video. The Tonka concrete mixer was very rusty. It was not an easy restoration project. But the result looks fantastic.

I bought the Tonka Cement Mixer on eBay for € 15. At first glance, the Tonka truck didn't look that bad. But when all the parts were disassembled, I saw how bad the condition is. There was a thick layer of rust under the paint. You could leave the paint by hand.
The rust was removed by sandblasting. Then the parts were dented. Holes caused by the rust have been filled. The parts were then primed by the Tonka concrete mixer and then painted.
The wheels were sanded with 300-grit sandpaper. The surface was then processed with a light flame. This gives the plastic a nice black color again.

Awesome restoration job. So glad someone restores these toys and gives them a new lease on life. Keep up the good work.

In the 50s, our father had a construction company. He built us a huge sandbox and gradually filled it with every piece of heavy equipment Tonka made. Watching you work on these pieces brings back fond memories of the many hours spent in that sandbox with those pieces. My favorites were the crane and dump truck, though I made good use of them all. Thanks!

You just turned it back into a functional, pretty and safe toy without unnecessarily filling the pittings or using powder coat. It is a toy. Thank you for not overdoing the restoration.

I worked my cement mixer half to death in the sandbox in my parents' backyard and never once realized that the front half of the drum was blocked off...dumb kid lol. Amazing nostalgia trip and a stunning result, thanks for sharing.

I did the same thing with mine! Fortunately, my parents still have all of the Tonka Trucks my brother's and I had! I remember getting the Cement Mixer for my 4th or 5th Birthday [1984-1985] and it quickly became my favorite toy. I'm glad thst one day I'll be able to preserve all those summer memories of my two older brother's and I playing in the sandbox with our trucks!

Can't believe it turned out so well after seeing all that rust, its also a wonder that mixer hasn't cracked over time. You could try UV light bleaching the white plastics using hydrogen peroxide its what they do to restore yellowing consoles.

After sanding the scratches out of the plastic windscreen, try dipping it in some floor polish, then letting it dry under a cover to prevent dust particles from getting in. Got that tip from the KZfaq channel, Marties Matchbox makeovers

There are plastic caps available to put on the end of the rivet set. Also a soft variety of rivet. Doesn’t require much force but should be strong enough to hold the pieces together.
