Tonka Mighty Loader Restoration 1975s - very old and rusty toy.
I bought the Tonka Loader on eBay for € 15. The Tonka Mighty Loader was made in USA in 1975s. The toy has gotten a lot of rust in the last 50 years. The first thing I did was to dismantle all the parts. The parts were then cleaned of rust with the sandblaster.
Since many parts had holes through the strong rust, I filled them up. The parts were then primed with 2k and painted with 2k yellow paint.
The wheels of the Tonks Loader toy were also no longer in the best condition. That's why I sanded them lightly. After that, the surface was lightly processed with fire. This melts the plastic and the surface becomes nice and smooth and gets a strong color.
The axles and the handle for the excavator were ground and then polished.
After that everything was assembled. At the very end the sticker "Mighty Loader" was stuck on.
If you liked it, leave a like there.

I REALLY appreciate the flame polishing on the wheels - in the middle of restoring one of these myself so I’m doing my final bits of research. Found myself wondering, in other videos, why people never use that technique on the wheels. Bravo.

I think the most outstanding part of the Tonka restorations that I have seen is the testimony to the fantastic quality of the original materials. Modern metals just wouldn’t last as long are take the reshaping procedures. Fantastic job.

I'm 20 years old and as a kid my dad had these tonka trucks from his childhood that he gave me to play with and I had this exact loader, I would play with it in the gravel, loading pebbles and stuff and moving it around. The one I had looked almost exactly like this but if I remember right the plastic window was cracked. Great job restoring this one, it's nice to watch the craftsmanship

Stuff like this hurts my heart. It hurts my heart because Tonka toys and sand piles were a huge part of my childhood. I look back on those years (I’m 40 now) and I miss that kid. I wish I could talk to him and tell him that, no matter how poor he was; no matter how much cool stuff the other kids had; those times would come to mean more to him than anything. It’s true. You really can’t go home again.

I remember the Tonka TV advert showing an elephant standing on a truck. Don't make them like this anymore 😭. Cheap nasty plastic. If you had a Tonka truck when I was a lad you ended up with new friends 😉 so we'll made, we would take turns riding down the street on it 👍. Tonka a name you could trust for quality. I don't think you will find the plastic ones in 50 years time. Unlike this one. Fantastic job👍 😁🤓

@rosetodaro5081 4 жыл бұрын

Omg the most satisfying part was when you dipped the tire letters in the paint. 👏🏼

@dwightstewart7181 4 жыл бұрын

The manufacturer designed the tires so the lettering would be flat on the widest part of the tire, which made it easy enough to just run the tires under a roller to apply the paint. Since he didn't have that precisely adjusted roller, his paint on cardboard accomplished the same thing. Personally, I was most impressed by his heating the tires to get some of the shine back. That's a trick I'll definitely have to remember.

I put this story on another restoration, but I thought I would add it here. I still remember my friends dad telling me a story about buying his boys tonka trucks when they were little. They were poor, but he managed to save enough money to get all 4 sons a tonka truck for Christmas. He said he remembers shortly after Christmas sitting in the living room and hearing this banging noise outside. He went to investigate and saw that his boys had tied ropes to their trucks and were taking turns swinging it into a tree. Screaming at them what in the hell are you kids doing! The oldest chimed up and said that the commercials advertised that they are virtually industructable, so they were putting them to the test.

Back in 1973 I had the entire fleet of Tonka Trucks... My uncle worked for a company that sold big trucks and heavy duty commercial equipment. They had lots of toy construction equipment on one wall in the showroom. I always wanted to stop to see my uncle! Ha! Wanted to see if a new Tonka was in! I remember making miles of roads with those trucks. I bet I had every Tonka made at that wonderful time in history! I had tons of fun trying to wear them out! I wonder what they would all be worth today?
