Description from the seller
General presentation
This Porsche-Diesel agricultural tractor type Junior L, manufactured by Porsche-Diesel-Motorenbau GmbH in Friedrichshafen (Germany), dates from 1959, the year when the Junior range benefited from a power upgrade to 15 hp.
It is an emblematic model in Porsche’s history, whose air-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine long equipped European farms before production stopped in 1963.
Bodywork and paint
Antique tractor (1959) with a patina consistent with its age: original red paint partly worn, signs of use, light rust and scratches visible on the bodywork and wings, with no major structural damage.
No major body repairs or known accidents to report. Overall condition rated as average to good considering the 67 years of the vehicle.
Technical condition
Four-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine, 822 cm³ (bore 95 mm, stroke 116 mm), 15 hp SAE for a fiscal power of 3 HP, nominal speed 2,000 rpm.
Original gearbox and clutch, proper operation at starting warm and cold; brakes and tires in good condition.
Unladen weight of 750 kg with a total permissible gross weight up to 1,095 kg.
Dimensions and characteristics
Wheelbase of 1,838 mm, overall length 2,840 mm, width 1,464 mm, height 1,535 mm, ground clearance 330 mm. Two seats (including driver), no cab; trailer towing capacity of 6,000 kg subject to compliance with the AM prescriptions of 15.7.1954.
Interior condition
Typical retro driving position of the era, without a cab or complex upholstery: driver’s seat, simplified dashboard with original instrumentation. Absence of modern electrical components, in line with the model’s original design.
Documentation
The lot is accompanied by an original descriptive notice from the Ph. Goetzmann Workshops (Lingolsheim, Bas-Rhin), establishing the manufacturer characteristics of the Porsche-Diesel Junior L tractor. This documentary piece attests to the model’s authenticity and its factory specifications. (see image)
