Rare 1954 Traveloader Restoration- Nylint (Adams)

[@RebuiltRestored]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KmmIBjoLygaNksi=tRusys86Le0bzoKE Have a great day! 👍

[@edwinayalasr3699]

Yes

[@powder749]

Where do you find stuff like this?

[@RebuiltRestored]

This was bought at a yard sale.

[@leslietarkin]

Fantastic job!! I worked for the DOT so, I've seen plenty of these bad boys. Just subbed.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

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 😎

[@normhowes2975]

Not only was this a beautiful restoration of a toy but having seen the real thing in action made it even better.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Glad to show it working again! 👍

[@hoganshero19]

I love this one, saw so many when I was a kid then ended up helping rebuild roads and highways, loved it! Miss the smell of the fresh pavement

[@RebuiltRestored]

That is awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@kirdot2011]

Meanwhile ive never seen one of these in real life let alone the toy version of it

[@willj1598]

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.

[@RebuiltRestored]

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!

[@Beenthere5409]

75-100 years from now when someone else finds this in a yard sale box they too will be able to appreciate the American heritage! Nicely done! Wow!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much!! 100 years from now it may need restored again! 👍

[@carlhelmick7711]

Cool, awesome job. 😀👍

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks 👍

[@steelhead97027]

what an amazing job. People don't realize just how time consuming it is to restore a toy like this. again great job

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I should have kept track of the time I spent. It was a decent amount! Thanks for watching and have a great Easter!

[@stevenwillis548]

The road sign is a nice touch to an excellent restoration.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Have a great day!

[@gailchristian7491]

Toys back in the day just hit different

[@RebuiltRestored]

Agreed!

[@imperialpresence1173]

with tetanus...

[@Collateralcoffee]

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!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it! Have a great week!

[@landongere7091]

Beautiful workmanship! Thanks for sharing this with all of us here!🙂

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[@marchills4131]

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 KZbin, quality content like yours really stands out. Thank you for sharing with us your passion and talent!

[@RebuiltRestored]

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!

[@williamharris8367]

I _love_ the restoration of complex mechanical devices -- including, but not only, toys. Thank-you for this video!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much! Glad you enjoyed

[@T_B]

Very impressive! But, the custom made tripod for the sign was even cooler! 💪🏻

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks! 👍 thanks for the feedback! Have a great week!

[@42lookc]

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.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much! Yes this was a unique toy and would have been a fun one for sure! Thanks for the support!

[@charlene-allgood]

Amazing to see how toys were made back in the day! You are awesome

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@chrissharp5073]

This is an absolutely go smacking restoration by a gifted craftsman. Well done on achieving such a high standard to turn a rusty wreck into a great restoration.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed

[@FannieLaGreca]

Simply another beautiful restoration.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Many thanks!

[@georgebrown8312]

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.

[@georgebrown8312]

By the way, I also like that "Road Work Ahead" sign you made.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much! Yes that did take some work. Glad you enjoyed. I appreciate it.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much!

[@mrfixit992]

That toy must have been the coolest in 1954😍

[@RebuiltRestored]

Agree!

[@42lookc]

It would have been the coolest in 1964, 1974, and 1984!

[@c.j.cleveland7475]

No doubt! And as complex as it is, probably the most expensive. Beautiful job restoring it.

[@Beenthere5409]

I’m gonna say fantastic! Enjoyed it from beginning to end. Nice to see another old toy restored!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks much Fella!!

[@matthew2hunley290]

I wish they still made construction toys to this quality now. Instead of the plastic garbage we have today.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Agreed! Thanks for watching

[@zactechict3495]

why are you saying that

[@chrismayer3919]

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… 😟

[@Sersincero]

Mas brinquedos assim são perigosos para crianças...

[@larrykrise3609]

awsome work sir.so very pretty.a job well done.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@doughnut_panda]

Beautiful job.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks!

[@TheDistur]

That thing is really cool. And now it's all cleaned up!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much!

[@erikjohnson1497]

I really appreciate when someone does the work to get rid of the pits.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Pitting is the worst!

[@jasonpickles]

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!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment! Have a blessed day!

[@robertsonslawnandlandscaping]

Pure and simply top quality work and attention to the finest detail!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Wow, thank you! You guys are the real deal!

[@Enonwonknu]

Outstanding job! Loved the road work sign!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it! Have a great Easter weekend!

[@mrknotthall]

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!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks much! I appreciate it

[@jamesfield5346]

The mouse was a perfect touch. Lol. Also, that's one of my favorite verses.

[@johnnykrejlgaard3339]

Incredibly beautiful renovation! A treat to watch for a tech geek.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@rohitshukla9756]

This restoration was not easy. You have restored it most meticulously. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

[@charlene-allgood]

Yes the mouse then the tiny bird that flew out the door. So creative in addition to his master trade!!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you!👍

[@madmanmechanic8847]

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 KZbin Channel . I think you said you wanted to watch the video?

Love your build man I bet this took a long time thanks for posting

[@RebuiltRestored]

Awesome! Yes, I think we talked. Thanks for reaching out! I’ll check out your video! Have a blessed week!

[@HomeAloneAgain]

That was a great job . Really enjoyed this . Thank you for pisting .

[@kenreeve32]

The amount of care in this restoration is incredible!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Have a great week!

[@davidschweikhart459]

This is very excellent workmanship!

[@saiyanprince989]

I am amazed how complicated that construction is for a toy. Wow! Great job as well.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Yeah pretty complex! Thanks much!

[@johnholmes7342]

Wow. What a craftsman. Very nicely done.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@DDTShowpigs]

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

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Appreciate it!

[@cararosas9504]

WOW! VERY IMPRESSED. Loved the " Road Work Ahead" sign. You got SKILLS!

[@gordondafoe3516]

Man, sandbox toys like this were great entertainment for us imaginative kids! Thanks for the memories.

[@checo1703]

This one got me. Props to your patience and skill.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@pierrearchambault5637]

Patience and skill wow ! I love these restaurations

[@wayneandrus240]

A truly excellent, careful sensitive, accurate, thorough restoration. One of the best resto videos that I have seen.

[@djevo3441]

Amazing job my friend congratulations

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you!

[@CogentConsult]

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!

[@markchiz64]

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?

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! And yes I should try to research the original price. That would be interesting. Thanks for watching! Have a great week!

[@karencampbell3943]

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!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you and thanks for sharing! Pretty neat seeing the real thing in action! God bless!

[@brianmcneil1194]

Great restoration, and I love the sign

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Have a great day!!

[@ady5041]

Man that's amazing restoration and amazing toy. Well done

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you! Have a great weekend!

[@garyjones2582]

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...

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it! God Bless!

[@judithcatlett8518]

Yes, saw the mouse. Either it’s a family pet or an AI input. Beautiful work and so MANY parts. Great job and patience.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you so much! And good eye spotting the mouse!

[@zibbyzubb]

Wow! What an undertaking, but your hard work paid off. Awesome job!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@gforcekaras]

Awesome restoration and nice final touch!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job well done

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@mileagemaker9925]

What an amazing job!! I got one of these for Christmas in 1956 and completely wore it out! I was 4 years old. I got into restoring old farm and construction toys about 20 years ago and have restored 2 of those travel loaders but could never find where to find a belt. Where did you find it? I bought a travel loader on a estate auction in mint condition and it still has the original price tag on it for 9.98 😱. Really enjoy your video and you do awesome work!!! God bless and hope to see more 🙏👍

[@RebuiltRestored]

Very cool! Interesting on the original price. Thank you! I found the belt on eBay for around $30 plus shipping I believe. I appreciate the feed back and comment. Have a blessed day!

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

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

[@CraigPeterson79]

Wow! amazing work. There were so many parts. It reminds me of all the big metal trucks I used to play with at my grandparents when I was a kid. Thank you!

[@alanm3438]

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.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it. Preheating the parts definitely has helped me with my cheap powder coating set up. Have a great day!

[@fetus2280]

I would have Loved to have had this one as a child, this is a first seeing something like this, really neat and Different. Nice job mate. Cheers.

[@lovejcdc]

That was freakin awesome to see such an amazing toy being restored and probably works better than it did new. Great job

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much!

[@trashpandanews5714]

Impressive restoration. I have seen others that don’t work as hard as you have. Appreciate the details

[@powder749]

This has to be 100 hours on just the filler. I'd love to do this but that's a lot of work. Outstanding as usual.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! It took some time! 👍 have a great week!

[@timtaylor1365]

A complicated and lengthy restoration but a beautiful result, you would never know it was 70 years old .

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! Thankfully I was able to get it back together lol

Nice job. I didn’t have high hopes when you started but it looks excellent.

[@RebuiltRestored]

I appreciate it! Thanks for sticking with me!

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

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…

[@RebuiltRestored]

Very cool! And thanks for sharing

[@bgdavenport]

A determined effort with stellar results!

Thanks much!

Gorgeous very beautiful I love old things very much ❤

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks so much 😊

Now it is ready for another kid to enjoy. Looks great. You don't see many of those any more.

[@RebuiltRestored]

You are right. Thanks much!! Have a great day!

[@berniedelonay5624]

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."🐦🇺🇲⚘️

[@RebuiltRestored]

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

One of the best resto's I've seen

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

[@Shuzcan61]

FYI. Impressive performance! I will admit, the workmanship and due diligence is outstanding. The exclusive tools and methods utilized are phenomenal and unique in every endeavor and/or task being performed. Personally speaking, I really do enjoy and admire watching your masterpieces to perfection. As a kid, I do recall many of these toys in the 60s every year underneath our Christmas tree to enjoy -- especially TONKA trucks and tractors colored in yellow and GI Joes. At my age, I still own many of these wonderful toys in mint conditions and they´re not for sale! My favorite piece of my collection happens to be a Tonka steel excavator -- mean and ugly. I was offered the sum of $1,500.00 dollars for that work of art. I said, ¨thank you, but no thanks.¨ The buyer took colored pictures instead. lmao PS a subscriber in your channel

[@charlespaterson9714]

Magnificent restoration!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you!

[@ronhill5118]

I played with these kind of toys growing up. They made them to last back then. Sold all my Tonka toys to my uncle after mom and dad passed away.

[@jeffreyandreas7514]

WOW A JOB WELL DONE

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you!

[@user-fu1bh3dt2c]

What a marvellous job! The city where I lived when I was a kid had one of these. I remember it loading snow downtown after a heavy storm. I too am fortunate enough to have one of these toys. I won't go so far as to say mine is "like new" but compared to what you started with, "like new". No rust and no signs of abuse. The only thing wrong with mine, and I believe the only thing that causes yours to be less than 100 percent is the rubber belt. I have the original belt but it is badly torn and dried out. That belt is one piece (like a rubber band) and it has cleats molded into the rubber to give the load something to hang on to. But I would be more than happy to find a belt like yours to make mine complete.

[@ТатьянаКопылова-щ4н]

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🎉

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thank you very much! You are too kind! Have a blessed week!
