Thanks so much for watching! I bought this toy with several others for $30. Have you ever seen one of these before? If you haven’t seen Snap-on Jack video here is a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q1CgM-kWm2w.htmlsi=tRusys86Le0bzoKE Have a great day! 👍
I was trying to figure out what that was but I'm glad you made the road work sign now I know that it's an older road stripper but with tires not like today's machines they use tracks nice restoration, you should do a older rig with a dump trailer & back it up to this it would look cool 😎
Awesome job you did restoring the Traveloader. I bet restoring the front loading belt was a lot of hard work disassembling the links, cleaning off the rust, and reassembling them. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm too. I also like how you made a new sign. Excellent work.
It’s all a matter of cost-cutting as molded plastic is easier to mass produce than formed metal is. Look at Tonka, Nylint And Buddy L toys; very little metal nowadays… 😟
Awesome restoration. This thing is closer to a miniature of the actual machine than a toy. Toys like this helped kids understand how.machines actually worked. You'll never see something like this made again. It probably needs to be in a museum to remind everbody you can have a toy that isn't just blow molded plastic.
It is definitely a neat toy. It is crazy how much of the toys today are made of cheap plastic. It is disappointing. I see what you are saying about the museum however, I plan to let kids play with this. It will be a fun one 👍 thanks for the comment! Have a great week!
𝑶𝑼𝑻𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑵𝑫𝑰𝑵𝑮! That is far and away the most involved Tonka/Buddy L/Structo/Nylint toy restoration I have ever seen! I can't imagine how daunting it must have been with so, so many pieces. What an absolutely 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘣 restoration. That's more than a toy; with all its moving parts and gasketed gearbox, it is a ma-CHEEN. Whatever kid had this, he was the King of the Hill. No question.
Wonderful Restoration of a Wonderful and Unique Toy. I only had a Nylint Power Shovel..I grew up with Tonka’s. I had neighborhood friends that had Nylint Models…Hough Payloader, Road Grader…
I’m a woodworker that is so envious of your skill and dedication. I think I could do something similar for simple projects but what you do is amazing. Well done good sir
I don't know how many hours it took to restore that toy but it's an amazing example of a CONCOURSE restoration. As beautiful as the day it was first sold so many years ago. Your craftsmanship and attention to details are outstanding. Thanks for sharing
The thing that amazes me about this guy is that he knows where every piece goes when he goes to put it back together. It looks like this guy even restored his own vise. I love it!
Сказать, что впечатлена, значит ничего не сказать. То, что из ржавого хлама получилось на финише... ШОК... У нас о таком МАСТЕРЕ говорят Золотые Руки... Проделана колоссальная работа. Во многом практически ювелирная. А ведь сколько нужно знать совершенно в разных областях техники, чтобы уметь воссоздавать из полуразвалившихся моделей практически как " с завода"... Мастеру - брависсимо🎉
My grandfather's crew built many of the roads in and around dental California. My memories include equipment like this rumbling up and down the drive. I used to stand outside his machine shop watching while these were repaired and rebuilt. Good job! Keep up the good work!
What the hell.... How much love can you put into a restoration?! This is beautiful!!!! Extremely well done, sir, and a really nice video. Thanks for this!
First: what marvelously complex mechanisms were found in these vintage metal toys! Decades of rationalized design, optimized for ease and economy of manufacture, makes it startling how simplified modern toy vehicles are in comparison. Second: that's a lot of rivet removal and reinstallation, straightening of metal and filling in of corrosion! The amount of patience and work and talent you pour into these restorations is remarkable And I can only imagine how much additional effort was required to so beautifully record each step - with all the positioning, lighting and camera work. With so many fake "restoration" videos on RU-vid, quality content like yours really stands out. Thank you for sharing with us your passion and talent!
Thank you very much for the comment! A lot of stuff today is made so cheaply and it is neat to bring a well built toy back to life. And yes, there was a lot of work that went into this but it was well worth it. Glad you enjoyed and thank you for the feedback! Have a great rest of your week!
Thanks for showing so many new tools and methods for restoring these cool toys. I've seen a lot of these kinds of videos and you're the first to show the cool flaring(?) tool when making the part that held the rims together. Blessings to you and yours!
That was an amazing beautiful job, and cripes that machine is complicated - it must have been an expensive toy at the time. Anyway - beautifully put together video - everything perfectly explained and clear. Many thanks. Tom (from France).
Your patience and skills to restore this Ny-Lint are extraordinary. Good call on powder coating the pitted metal parts. They came out great with the JB Weld bondo work. There is so much detail in this piece. Can you imagine the time it must have taken to form, bend, paint, and assemble this? I wonder what this toy cost back in 1954?
R&R, very nice work.. I was amazed at how many parts made up that toy.. I was trying to imagine what that would look like if I had restored it 😂.. it definitely wouldn't look like that.. Again, very nice work, thx for bringing us along... Take care brother and God Bless...
Thanks for the video. I have never seen a toy like this one. I am glad that you took the time and effort to restore it. It sure looks like a lot of work. I have never preheated my parts before painting them....................maybe I should try it out some time.
Damn dude you freaking knocked it out of the park that is bad ass! I think you are the one I talked to about a month ago about my old school American Made Solvent tank . I am about 3/4s there on getting it finished its going on my RU-vid Channel . I think you said you wanted to watch the video? Its a heavy mo fo American made Steel going to town soon to get more parts for the restoration its a total nuts and bolts electrical new pump frame up restoration . Love your build man I bet this took a long time thanks for posting
Yes. I have seen one of these toys before. I have a brother that used to have one. I noticed that you have a Bible verse on your sign that means "Pay it Forward." I agree. Great job. A humble Master and Professional Gardener Bernie De Lonay from "It's Not Work, It's Fun."🐦🇺🇲⚘️
U could say it was in a realistic condition to began with, i mean that's how any 70years old heavy machinery would look. Also there's a surprising amount of thought went in to this toy, that u rarely see today.
Museum-quality restoration! Wow! I’d love to do restorations like that…just not film them. Would love to learn from you, the master of restorations. Incredible!
Sooo cool! Thanks for sharing. Tell him that is the nice part about filming your process, you can always refer back to your video if you forget where a part goes. I appreciate the view. You and your nephew have a great week! 👍
Obviously it’s an edited version he wouldn’t tell you that he’s using his still camera on bit by bit segments like most of pro hobbyists do! Nevertheless he has made it good for another 75 years! Nice work.
Finally, an actual vintage toy restoration instead of a dollar store diecast that someone covered in AK weathering powders and went to town on it with a hammer
