The seller offers for sale this rare 1958 Porsche A133 Diesel, a first-series example featuring a 2.5-litre 3-cylinder diesel engine paired with a manual transmission. This model was produced in limited numbers and is fully equipped with three PTO shafts, a lifting system and a desirable fast 5-speed gearbox. According to the seller, the tractor underwent a technical overhaul around 2016 and runs well, with the 3-cylinder engine performing smoothly and all five gears engaging correctly. The brakes were recently fully inspected, including the handbrake. A previous owner had the machine completely blasted and repainted, with the bonnet and fenders refinished by a specialist company. It comes with four new tyres, completely renewed lighting, new wiring and a new battery. The chassis is free of visible rust, and no accident damage is reported. Although mechanically ready for use, it has recently been displayed in a museum.
The Porsche Diesel A133 belongs to the storied Porsche tractor lineage, produced at a time when Porsche applied its engineering expertise to robust agricultural machinery. Known for their reliability, smooth-running diesel engines and practical layout, Porsche tractors have gained collector status due to their distinctive design and limited production volumes. The A133 stands out with its three-cylinder configuration, making it both powerful and suitable for a variety of farm tasks, while also being appreciated today as a unique piece of Porsche history. Enthusiasts value these machines for their mechanical simplicity, durability and the unmistakable charm of vintage agricultural engineering. Restored and technically refreshed examples—such as this first-series A133—offer a rare opportunity to acquire a collectible Porsche that also serves as a functional classic.
