Description
This Tonka Mighty Dozer is a large-scale toy construction vehicle. The body and frame are constructed from pressed steel with a yellow and black painted finish. It features a perforated metal front grill and continuous tread tracks over yellow-painted frames. A front-mounted grading blade is attached via side-mounted arms and is controlled by a metal lever on the left side of the engine compartment. The open operator’s cab includes a moulded black plastic seat and a small vertical control lever. A flexible rubber-tipped exhaust stack is positioned on the upper surface of the engine housing. Printed black graphics on both sides of the rear cab area read mighty Tonka Dozer, with a secondary Tonka mark located on the top front of the main body.
Length: 40 cm
Width: 21 cm.
Condition report:
The toy is in a used, played-with condition showing significant signs of age. There is widespread paint loss, scratching, and surface rust across the yellow and black surfaces. The front blade, support arms, and lower track frames exhibit heavy oxidation and pitting. The rubber tracks remain intact but show age-related wear and an accumulation of dust. The rubber exhaust stack is perishing and shows wear to the tip. The manual blade-lifting mechanism is functional but exhibits stiffness due to corrosion on the moving parts. No original box or packaging is included.
