- Reportedly driving well with PTO working correctly
The Appeal
Whether you're an agricultural machinery enthusiast, a Porsche collector looking for something a little different, or simply someone who’s in need of a compact tractor, this Junior 108 would be a great purchase.
Like fellow car manufacturers Lamborghini, Fiat, Lancia and Volvo to name a few, agricultural equipment was an important part of Porsche’s early history. Powered by an 822cc single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine and equipped with a hydraulic linkage and power takeoff, the Junior 108 proved to be a capable machine.
This one has been restored to a high standard and is accompanied by a plough. We’re informed that it runs really well and drives as it should.
The History and Paperwork
- We’re informed this tractor was imported to the UK and all fees have been paid and will come with paperwork
- Retains its original chassis plates
- Tractor has been awarded prizes at shows
The Condition
- Restored prior to the vendor’s ownership
- Good condition tin work
- Distinctive red paint scheme in very fine shape
This tractor was apparently restored prior to the vendor’s ownership and it is indeed in very fine condition. All the tin work appears immensely straight, free from corrosion and looks to have been repainted exceedingly well.
Besides the odd small blemish around the rear linkages likely caused by attaching implements to the hydraulics, there are very few marks and the vendor tells us it has won prizes at shows.
All of the badging, few items of trim and leather look to be in really good order and the seat upholstery too looks very smart. The wheels present extremely nicely and it would appear all the tyres are fairly new.
The controls exhibit minimal wear and the only gauge indicates engine temperature. A plough is currently attached via the linkage at the rear and that too looks to have been restored and beautifully in keeping with the colour scheme. The tractor is also complete with a tow ball on a fixed draw bar and a railing to accommodate an extra passenger atop the nearside rear wing.
This is a very smart machine that would be perfect for attending shows or displaying in a collection.
The Mechanics
- Single cylinder, 822cc air-cooled diesel engine
- 6-speed gearbox with high / low range, rear diff lock and PTO
- Reportedly starts first time one every occasion and drives well
The vendor informs us that this Porsche never fails to start and it runs really well. They have no issues to report regarding its operation and we understand all the hydraulics, gears and PTO function correctly.
These single cylinder, air-cooled diesel engines are remarkably simple and are willing to work hard, ideally suiting them for agricultural applications. With the plough at the rear, this would be a great tractor to participate in ploughing matches, or else could be used with a range of other implements.
Summary
This is a very smart example of one of the most endearing tractors around. Looking fabulous and working well, we urge you to consider becoming this Porsche’s next owner.
