Based on Dr. Ferdinand Porsche’s innovative pre-war designs, the Porsche-Diesel line of tractors was produced under license by Mannesmann AG at the former Zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany, from 1956 to 1963. The Junior 108, the most compact and economical model in the range, is powered by an 822cc single-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine. This 1961 example reportedly served on a farm in Germany before being acquired by the seller in 2018. Refurbishment began in 2022, and the tractor was imported to the United States in 2024. It is now being offered for auction out of Florida.
This short-wheelbase Junior 108 has been refinished in its signature red under current ownership. Features include a 109-style air cleaner, hood, grille panels, headlights, forward running lights, hooded taillights, and rear half-fenders. The spring-suspended operator’s seat is adorned with beige Porsche Diesel script across the back and is upholstered in padded red vinyl with yellow piping and a tractor graphic. Cream-painted steel wheels with red hubs are mounted with 5.00-16″ Granit front tires and 9.5-24″ Ascenso rear tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
Power comes from an original air-cooled single-cylinder 822cc diesel engine that produces 15 HP at 2250 RPM and is paired with a 6-speed dual-range manual transmission and rear portal axle. Equipment includes front and rear pin hitches, rear and mid-mounted power take-off shafts, a draw bar with ball hitches, and independent rear drum brakes.
This tractor is offered with a bill of sale.

In order to motorise agriculture, in 1937, at the suggestion of Adolf Hitler, the German Labour Front commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to develop a small agricultural tractor that would motorise agriculture as a "people's tractor", parallel to the Volkswagen, which was intended to enable mass motorisation of the population. The following characteristics were particularly important here: inexpensive to purchase and maintain, suitable for large-scale production, sufficient power for all work required on farms, robust and easy to operate. With an air-cooled one-cylinder engine with an output of 15 hp), this was intended for medium and small farms..This JUNIOR here at the Auction is one almost perfect Exemble with a great History
