eBay TONKA BIG MIKE DUMP TRUCKOrange Dump Truck with dual hydraulic lift - circa late 1950sYOU ARE BIDDING ON WHAT IS INCLUDED IN PHOTOGRAPHS Condition~ The heaviest of play wear is evident on the orange paint in truck bed and on bed roof overhang (photos 3,4 and others) ~ Small bend on bottom edge of truck frame (last photo).~ Door decals intact and in good shape with only mild blemishes, dark marks. Big Mike and Dual Hydraulic graphics show heavier wear but still are complete and readable ( photos 9,10,11) ~ Rear sets of Wheels and Tires in good shape and move freely*. Usual oxidation on the wheel axles. ~ *The main deficiency in this piece would be the Front Wheels and Tires. The right front Wheel/Tire is completely missing and the left front Tire is there but missing the wheel cover/hubcap. (see various photos)~ Dump operating lever works, maybe too powerfully with the "dual hydraulics." I am not a Tonka Truck expert but it seems way to forceful for a toy, not like a true hydraulic cylinder would operate. Maybe this is the normal way for this truck or maybe it requires and adjustment Please note: the item will ship double-boxed and with extra insurance PHOTOS AND GRADINGAll grading is subjective, please view photos closely and ask questions to make your own determination Consider photos as an important part of the description.
