Version #2 – 1957-61
Version #2 was made for five years, but Nylint literature kept depicting the 1956-57 version.
Dual headlights flanking an integrally stamped sheet metal grille are characteristic of Version #2.
The rear stabilizer bar was now black.
The boom control wheel is now cast metal and uses a spring-loaded catch mechanism. Note "Operating Instructions."
The 3-spoke bucket control wheel remains the same from Version #1.
A cast steering wheel replaces the stamped wheel from the first version.
Sometimes referred to as "wagon" style steering, the second version was definitely cheaper to produce.
Only the top section of the boom is 4-sided. The lower section is 3-sided.
These good-looking wheels suffered a slight modification on Versions #3 and #4.
The same door decal was used for the first three versions.
Original rigging was very thick string. The bucket release disc remained the same except for the magnet Version #4.
Version #3 – 1962-65
Version #3 used a "stick-on" paper grille enclosed in a retangular stamping.
The rear deck angle brace was omitted from Version #3
Both upper and lower sections of the boom had only 3 sides.
The boom lift wheel remained the same as Version #2
A 4-spoke cast wheel replaced the stamped 3-spoke wheel from Version #2.
There was no steering mechanism on Version #3.
