Default Yet another facelift

Yeah, please say it ain't so. "Another face lift".
I had one of these when I was a young lad, and of course I ran the wheels off it. So I was on evilpay last week and ran into this used but not used up Tonka dump truck.
Sandblasted it last week while doing parts for the JI Case, and painted it yesterday. Used IH red and Power White. Red's not so good, but'll be fine up on the shelf...

Thanks guys, was fun and easy little project. Heck I even found the decals for the doors. (TONKA Hydraulic) so I had to order a set before it hits the shelf with the rest. Still a kid at heart I guess...

Good job. Sometimes doing a quick, little project from start-to-finish is a nice change.

How did the sheet metal hold together? Tabs bent into metal slots? If so, were you concerned about breaking the tabs when bending? Just wondering...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
