Porsche-Diesel Standard 208 N '1957-63

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche-Diesel_218

Chassis No. N/6893

Offered here is a 1957 “Standard” two-cylinder model. Power is transmitted to the transmission via a “turbo-hydraulic coupling,” which negates the need for manual shifting to each gear. There are power take-offs at the front, rear, and mid-ships for attachment to a wide range of available farm implements. A plaque on the side of the hood suggests this tractor was originally sold by Roman Schweiger, an old, family-owned farm-equipment dealer in Weilheim, Germany. While its early history is unknown, it was eventually imported to the United States and acquired by Helmut Reiss of Laguna Beach, California. At some point it was repainted in its correct red with Primrose wheels. Repair invoices supplied with this delightful tractor indicate that Mr. Reiss addressed a number of mechanical and electrical issues before offering it for sale. It joined the Taj Ma Garaj in March 2002.

Still bearing its European license plates, it is equipped with lights, a horn, an upholstered passenger seat, and what appear to be fairly new tires.
