@carstartsounds: 1959 Porsche Diesel Junior 108 0.8L Single Cylinder · Engine: 0.8L (822 cc) Naturally Aspirated Single Cylinder Diesel (Porsche Type 108) · Power: 14 HP @ 2,250 rpm · Torque: ~60 Nm · Fuel System: Mechanical Direct Injection · Transmission: 6 Speed Manual · Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) · Weight: ~1,050 kg · Top Speed: ~20 km/h · Cooling: Air Cooled ——— About the vehicle: The Porsche Diesel Junior 108 was introduced in the late 1950s as the smallest tractor in Porsche’s agricultural lineup. Designed for small farms, orchards and vineyards, the Junior used a rugged air cooled single cylinder diesel engine known for its simplicity, reliability and strong low rpm torque. Like many classic mechanical diesels, starting in cold winter temperatures could be challenging and required precise use of the decompression lever and glow system. The characteristic slow firing rhythm of the single cylinder engine combined with the raw mechanical sound makes the Porsche Junior a unique piece of agricultural engineering history and one of the most recognizable vintage diesel tractors ever produced.
