Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration! In today's video I am restoring a classic 50's Structo Wind up Tanker. Overall the tanker was pretty solid to begin with and just showed signs of age. The wind up mechanism was starting to seize and couldn't move the truck on a flat surface. I completely disassembled it down to the chasis. I had a spare chasis on hand with an intact bumper. The wind up mechanism was seized on this one as well requiring a full dismantle and reassembly. In the end I was able to get the mechanism to function and bring this classic toy back to its original glory! As always feel free to like, comment, and subscribe!
