Nylint #2100 Tournadozer Replacing the yellow Tournatractor which was produced for only two years (1954-55), the new Tournadozer included an added feature – a rear mounted winch! It was carried in the Nylint line-up for four years (1956-59). There were two versions based on winch design and wheel color. The early version used a be aded chain. Later versions used a stronger, linked chain. Changes were made in the pulley design to accommodate the chain width.
Version #1 – 1956
Based on Nylint literature, the be aded chain was only used during the first year of production – 1956.
For some reason the drum-shaped attachment present on earlier Tournatractors, and on Version #2 below, was omitted from Version #1.
Version #2 – 1957-59
Nylint catalogs showed this toy with orange wheels and the linked chain as early as 1957. Collectors have also reported Tournadozers with larger diameter yellow wheels.
This drum-shaped housing was carried over from the To run a tractor – purely decorative – but did not appear on Version #1.
