@WalrusAircraft 😂
I have one that is 35 years old. @tsampoy
I think they still sell this in Walmart or something...
LOL. They last forever. @Insertname
Oh man.... Brings me back. I had a few of these. I still might have one in the shed lol.
@WalrusAircraft Oh, check out my new profile picture. :)
I never had one but I've seen them. Btw I'm 14.
@Dalton02 I am currently building the crane bucket crane. You know, the one that was always tangled up in its own string.
Nice! I remember having these old metal Tonka trucks when I was a kid
@WalrusAircraft Oh, yeah..
You should build the shovel @WalrusAircraft
@WalrusAircraft lol
I see what you did there :-) @Wheelmaker2
Thanks! I used to pull apart old TVs, remove the transistor and build my own taser. My friends and I would shock ourselves silly. Attaching a nine volt nearly knocked me out. @JoeAdkinson13
That's a crazy avatar you have my friend. Nice to hear from you. :-) @BaconEggs
we used to take the sparkplug wire loose on the push lawnmower and have 3 or 4 of our friends link hands, the first guy would hold the plug wire and the second one's hand and the second guy would join a hand with the third.... Who was also holding this tonka truck in his free hand... and then try to pull start the mower... ah, good times... sorry I was rambling... Awesome work!
well i need to take a dump... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Welcome back! (I know, I'm late)
@WalrusAircraft lol
@UnknownNate Yeah it's fun to build stuff like this. The letter C block was a pain to make though.
@UnknownNate We are a father/son team, and we collaborate on some projects like this one.
I believe I promised you this in the past and I'll do it. I think Jr. wants to make a semi version of the Tonka truck next, so I'll have to wait until he is done. :-) @metalsaurus
@AeroEngineering @UnknownNate @Spikerya - Walrus Sr here. I've kept my old Tonka grader from my childhood. I love that thing! When I was about 13 I attached rocket motors to my other Tonka trucks, and I'm afraid none of them survived re-entry.
