All I got out of it was it is a spare parts vehicle with a front loader.

Must be a non-running Porsche tractor.

Then again I don't speak German.

Porsche has made diesel tractors, which were quite common in europe during 50's & 60's.
Porsche made also diesel engines for eletric powerplants.Quite a lot of these industrial Porsche engines can be seen in Porsche museum in Gmund,Austria (not factory museum).

I guess this is a part of the Porsche history that a few people know...
Now, with the progress made in the diesel engine area, I won't be too surprised to see a diesel Cayenne or something... who knows...

Actually, You already can see a Diesel Cayanne, it's just called the VW tourag! V-10 turbodiesel, over 500 lb.ft. of torque right off idle (if I recall correctly)!

First of all, they don't use very good grammer...

Porsche Diesel with front loader for spare or to repair, must be repaired, from private car needs inactive anlasser? and batterie. By the way if you are still reading this guy is making NO sense. It's been sitting outside for a while. No major repairs done or mods. Made in 63, not inspected. 3 cylinder. Frontloader Size 2. After the auction....

Once again, he is hard to understand. The words are understandable, but it is like if i kept writing this sentence on and on and didn't use any commas and kept right on intot the next sentence which i think that I won't do. German farmers on ebay. Pretty funny.

I've often believed that if Porsche were to make a Diesel, it would have been like the old Turbo Diesels Mercedes made from '82 to '85(I'm told these were the best years). Those were some cars, and continue to be for the owners. Tough, basic, and reliable, like the 911's of those years.
