| 1959 Porsche Diesel Tractor
Today I bought a 1959 Porsche Diesel tractor for my dad. On the 22th of February my dad has itīs 65th birthday. The tractor has itīs 50th birthday on exactly the same day.
Itīs a Porsche Diesel Standard with a 2cyl 1.7L diesel engine with 28 HP. It completely restored and in a very good condition. It has a rear locker with a foot pedal, an auxilliary drive, a rear hydraulics and some more features.
Here are some pics.
Wow! 20 mph...
Starting in the 5th gear?
Yes it works!
Whereīs the diff locker pedal?!
Engine compartment... |

That's great. You can also get him a license plate frame for his car that says "my other ride is a Porsche" Either way nice job on the restoration.
