I purchased this 1962 Tonka Dragline Crane on eBay December 18th 2021 for $134.14. The crane was amazingly complete for being 60 years old with no major issues outside of having extensive rust and dirt build up. The cranes boom assembly was bent up very badly and the body had multiple dings. After sandblasting the body showed many rust pits which I filled with JB weld and sanded flat. Overall I love how this toy cleaned up and how well it looks now. Thanks soo much for watching!

I had a few Tonka trucks growing up. When I went into the Air Force, my younger brother gave them all to a neighbor kid. My favorite was the drag line crane. In 1964 when my parents had this house built. My drag line crane dug the first scoop for the basement. A real tracked drag line did dig the basement.

Thanks for sharing this. I have a one-owner 1960 Tonka B-220 State Turnpike set that was under my family's Christmas tree for me in 1960. The roadsigns did not survive my childhood, but 64 years later the set is on top of my storage cabinets in my shop. I should reset the rivet that holds the crane to the truck chassis as it is wobbly, but I think I'll keep it in the as-played-with condition of my childhood.

Love how that J-B Weld works to fill in the pits, but I cannot imagine the repetitive motion aches and pains you endure sanding these parts. I would be constantly seeking an mechanical alternative! 😉 Beaker’s reaction to the paracord is precisely how my cat would react… she’s starting to be a real scene-stealer! Thanks as always for great entertainment and knowledge, Chip! 👍👍👍 ~John

@ChipChannelRestorations 2 года назад

Thank you Primus54!!! Yup, I love the performance of the JB weld, has definitely worked well for me, but yes... my muscle between my thumb and pointer finger takes the brunt of the pain ha. Beaker is definitely becoming a character, she'll be 2 years old May 14th of this year. She's a very spoiled kitty haha.

@joebacarella2829 2 года назад

I have watched a lot of restos lately, and nobody, I mean nobody is on your level of restoration, you can take those parts out of the acid, give them a lite brushing, go back in the acid for just a dip, do a water dip, and go directly into your nickel solution, it would eliminate the flash rust.I was in the plating industry for years, For steel parts, we scrubbed in electro cleaner, water rinse, hydrocloric acid dip, water rinse and right into the nickel tank. The acid mildly etches it, and makes it except the nickel plating very well, we always went into the nickel tank wet, just a tip, love your restos.

I watch every video you post. You’ve inspired me to try my hand at restoring some old tonka’s. All I’ve been able to find are the typical late 70’s dump truck and one 80’s dump truck that’s smaller than the big yellow 70’s one.
