Background
Produced at a repurposed Zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen-Manzell in Germany, the Porsche Junior 108 - nicknamed Bulldog because of its characteristic single-cylinder engine sound - was introduced to succeed the Allgaier A111 and P111 in 1957.
Its simple, reliable diesel engine was easy to service, with replacement parts readily available. As with other Porsche tractors, the Junior was designed with a fluid coupling connecting the engine to a six-speed transmission.
The Junior 108 K version had a shorter wheelbase than the L version and appealed to farmers who did not require the extra space between the axles. With an oil-hydraulic clutch, one-person ‘Hydrostop’ operation was available.
