The Porsche-Diesel Super L 318 stands among the most distinctive and collectible tractors to bear the Porsche name. Powered by a 2,467cc three-cylinder diesel engine paired with a dual-range manual transmission, this 1960 example has been fully restored and resprayed in 2020. It is refinished in red with cream wheels and features dual front headlights, fender-mounted taillights, and a rear three-point hitch with drawbar. Meticulously maintained as part of a private collection, this 318 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Canada.
As part of its restoration, this example was refinished in red with contrasting cream-finished wheels and red center caps. The restoration included a complete repaint, with all hardware, hardware brackets, fasteners, and linkages refinished or replaced. Exterior details include dual front headlights, fender-mounted taillights, and functional drawbar equipment at the rear. The front wheels wear narrower off-road tires while the rears are fitted with larger agricultural-style rubber. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The open operator station features a black 3-spoke steering wheel, a yellow metal seat pan, a wood-backed seat, a red-painted dash panel, and vintage-style analog gauges. The dashboard houses an hour meter and charge indicator, both set into a textured red panel. Floor pedals, shift linkage, and control arms have received cosmetic reconditioning.
Power comes from an air-cooled 2,467cc three-cylinder diesel engine paired to a dual-range manual transmission, offering four forward gears, reverse, and two selectable ranges. The two-lever system allows the operator to shift between low (I) and high (II) ranges in combination with the main 4-speed gear selector, providing a total of eight forward and two reverse gear combinations. The engine and drivetrain were fully serviced as part of the 2020 restoration. The rear of the tractor includes a three-point hitch, drawbar, and PTO assembly.
This sale will include a clean title (registration).
The seller would like you to know: “Fully Restored Porsche-Diesel Tractor in tip-top shape. Ready to work hard, or to act as a shooting star in any Porsche collection and/or Porsche dealership showroom! Happy new client in sight! Good luck!”

It’s not cheap memorabilia. It’s a Porsche!!!! 😀

StableMate Porsche 912 is Available in PcarMarket’s Marketplace ( ex-Deal Tank )
Scoop Both, the 2 of them, and PORSCHE DIESEL 318’s buyer’s fee will be Refunded. By Me.
@Poirier Tractor was fully restored. All pictures of Restoration submitted this Morning. See end of The Gallery/ Yes: Comes with Folder 📁 of parts involved and LogBook of work done to it. No Paint Thickness measurements. Turn Key Rig! No Drama. Just Wow 🤩
@Poirier i Suggest You launch another Bid. And System will tell You the amount of fees related to that incremental Bid.
What has been done mechanically recently?
Do you have receipts for any recent work done on the tractor?
Do you have paint thickness measurements on the hood and fenders?
Do you have any photos of the tractor before the restoration?
Would it be consider as a NON-Vehicule auction with 10% fees or a Vehicule with 5% fees from pcarmarket?
To follow up on requests for more pictures during restoration process: I've just added sixteen new ones to the Gallery ( 62 to 77 / 77).
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.

A rare option this 🚜 has. Notice the weights into the rear wheels, to ensure propulsion in clayey terrain and the four plates / dumbbells under the hood to add weight to the front end, preventing wheelies (see photos 59 and 60). These additional weights can be removed if required to make the tractor lighter.
Good Morning Porsche Enthusists all Around the World. How do We call a Porsche Collection ( Porscherie ) w/out a Porsche Diesel tractor !?
Ill let You bring Answers to this Trivia Q!
Clearly a missing part 🧩 in your Puzzle.
@Poirier Owner is in process of searching them in his file cabinets. Stay tuned!
Bonjour, Do you have any picture of the restauration?
