A cool toy. I’m glad that you had many happy miles behind the controls.

I had several pieces like this, Dad was a logger and I had two older brothers that enjoyed making stuff.

From a kid like me, It’s better than any Tonka toy I had 45 years ago;)))

WE had some Tonka trucks, but there was something about the dozer I loved:-0 Maybe if I’d had a Tonka dozer it would have been better, never know now :-))

I’m fortunate to still have some Matchbox & Hotwheels cars toys from my youth about a year ago but the dozers & big trucks were my favorites. They also survived without customizing or painting too.

A child’s imagination can turn a simple toy like that into a lot of fun. I think it is very imaginative and a good facimile of the real thing. Great job on that Bob.

THAT is a kid’s toy. One they won’t break in a few days. I used to build toys for my kids, and simple was always better.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

Really cool, now I have a new project with the kids.
Thank you,

Glad this one re-surfaced. Something I can knock off with my son in a single workshop session. He’ll love it.

Hope you don’t mind if I reproduce it ;)

Resurfaced?? Did some one post it before?

I made some better ones for my grandsons. I used dowels for the smoke stack and air cleaner so they would be so destructinve on furniture. The 4 yr old has his days :-)) Glad I’m g-pa now :-))

No, I just missed it 77 days ago when you first posted it. Luckily Mafe posted his comment yesterday so it “resurfaced” on the pulse. LJ’s is so active that it is too easy to miss something if you miss a day, or even half a day.
