This 1959 Porsche-Diesel Standard 218 tractor was refurbished under prior ownership and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter diesel twin linked with a five-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in red with yellow 16″ and 28″ wheels. Equipment includes a rear power take-off shaft, a rear pin hitch, a front pin hitch, rear fenders, a passenger backrest hoop, and rear brake drums. This Standard tractor was purchased by the seller in 2014 and is now offered in Newbury Park, California, at no reserve with a bill of sale.

Porsche-Diesel Junior tractors were produced in short- and long-wheelbase variants between 1957 and 1963. This example is finished in red, and exterior details include rear fenders, Porsche-Diesel badges, headlights, and taillights.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of an instrument panel housing ignition and starter controls, a headlight switch, and a VDO hour meter that shows 4k hours of runtime.

Power is provided by an air-cooled 1.6-liter diesel twin.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The tractor is equipped with a rear power take-off shaft, a rear pin hitch, and a front pin hitch.
