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!
