Little Tractor that I saw

[meledward23]

Saw this old thing the other day as I was hauling some horses out to retirement pasture 1350 miles round trip away from home....

Cool! Looks streamlined. Could you tell what brand/model it was?

That tractor is a Porsche. I see them from time to time on Ebay.

Ferdinand Porsche didn't like radiators, they slowed you down.

That's right. They made that model from '57-'60, single cylinder I believe, and for sure air cooled.

Swing by when he's done and listen to it run. Those things sound like they're coming apart. There was some folks that had four of them at the car show a few years back, they started one or two of them and they made more noise than the haywagon full of hit and miss engines running thirty feet away.

Porsche tractor? At first I thought it was a Ford. I had to look again, yep, Porsche.
Single cylinder - talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
