The stylish Junior 108 L tractor was the smallest of Porsche-Diesel’s family of tractors produced from 1956 to 1963. Just as hard working as they were attractive, these tractors were put to work all over continental Europe. Built at the old Zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany, over 125, 000 Porsche-Diesel tractors in total were produced, with the Junior models being the most popular. Only about 1, 000 tractors of all types were sold new to the U. S., much in part due to stiff competition from their more affordable American competitors.
After many years of faithful service, this beautiful Porsche-Diesel 108L tractor was purchased by the current vendor in October 2021 who set about a comprehensive restoration over a six month period. The chassis was taken back to bare metal and all the panels were removed, shot blasted and repaired where necessary before being primed and painted as you see it today. The engine and mechanicals including the PTO and hydraulics were inspected and serviced and a refurbished starter motor was fitted, all of which are working well. Residing in the current vendors private Porsche collection the tractor is finished in the original Red (RAL3002 – Karminrot) with the contrasting wheels and seat finished in Cream (RAL 1015 Elfenbein). Completed to the highest quality the Porsche comes complete with both rear- and mid-mounted power take-offs (PTOs), exterior lighting, excellent restoration qualities, and an irresistible charm! This Junior would make a fine addition to any enthusiast’s collection – be it on the farm as originally intended, or as part of an eye-catching Porsche display! Offered with a history file including sundry bills, invoices relating to the restoration, photos of the restoration process, and the current UK registration document.
The full history file and more pictures can be sent by email on request – please contact a member of the Godins team for details.
This vehicle can be viewed in Wolverhampton. Viewing by appointment only.
