After drafting several prototypes of his own design, Dr. Porsche was given the opportunity to develop a tractor in cooperation with industrial pressing titan Erwin Allgaier of Georg Allgaier Presswerke. This 1954 Allgaier A133 Porsche-Diesel tractor is said to have been restored in Denmark and then sold to a collector in the United Kingdom before being acquired by the seller in 2020 and subsequently imported to the U.S. Finished in orange with red wheels, this historical Porsche-designed tractor is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
This Allgaier A133 Porsche-Diesel tractor has been finished in orange and rides on red-painted steel wheels mounted with front Continental tires and rear BKT TR-135 tires. Equipment includes headlights, taillights, a hinged engine cover, a rear work light, rear half-fenders, and Allgaier & Porsche System emblems. The operator is situated with an orange-finished steel seat, while an inward-facing bench is mounted on the left fender. Details include a black-finished 4-spoke steering wheel and accents, along with chrome bezels surrounding the temperature gauge and tachometer. The seller notes service carried out in 2020 included minor paint touch-ups, a refinish of the steering wheel, and wiring harnesses wrapped in protective tape. Some surface scratches and paint touch-ups are noted. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
This A133 equips an air-cooled 2,467cc three-cylinder diesel engine with Bosch fuel injection, sending power to the rear wheels by way of a 5-speed manual transmission and a portal axle. The seller adds that this tractor underwent extensive restoration between 2005 and 2009, and the clutch, hydraulic pump O-rings, and batteries were replaced under prior ownership in the U.K. A host of service documents are said to accompany the sale.
This sale will include a bill of sale, sales literature, extensive restoration records, and manuals.

With five forward gears and 3 cylinders, might be a great candidate for the Rennsport 7 Tractor Races... :)
We are down to just below an hour and we will be monitoring the auction for any last-minute questions. Good luck to all bidders, let's find this beautiful Porsche tractor a new home.
@TheBaron, thank you for the comment. When we photographed the tractor, I was impressed with how Porsche designed the front end and how easy it is to make adjustments to the height. I assume this is to accommodate different front and rear tire diameter options.

Thanks for the bids folks.
The tractor is very clean and mechanically excellent based on my experience doing the videos. Although in Dutch, the restoration documentation is extensive.
The owner purchased the tractor for his collection and they have enjoyed it for a couple years, giving the grandkids hay rides, etc. It's been a lot of fun for them to own and had been an excellent conversation piece when friends are over. When I saw it for the first time nearly a year ago, it was during a club event at their home, and we thoroughly enjoyed checking it out.
