Porsche Diesel

Allgaier did quite well as a new tractor brand. However, further growth was sought by purchasing the manufacturing rights for the "people's tractor" developed by Ferdinand Porsche. The AP 17, which came onto the market in 1950, was remarkably affordable considering its features, but it did not achieve the great popularity that was originally anticipated. The AP 17 was equipped with an air-cooled, two-cylinder, two-valve diesel engine producing 18 hp. The tractor was notably light for its power – it weighed only 950 kg. For example, the crankcase, gearbox housing, and rear axle were made from light metal casting. One of the biggest special features was the oil clutch. A differential lock was standard equipment.

There were some teething problems with this model, which had been designed from a clean slate, and at the end of 1951, the Typ 2 was introduced, with improvements to the steering, power take-off, and hydraulics, among other things. Vakola had quite a few criticisms even of this version.

In autumn 1952, a more powerful AP 22 was introduced, which mainly differed from the AP 17 by having an increased cylinder bore and a reinforced two-action lifting device. Allgaier’s earlier small tractor, the A 16, got its successor when the AP 16 was introduced in 1954; compared to the AP 17, it had 2 hp less power, a simpler front axle, and the turbine clutch was removed from the equipment.

At the beginning of 1956, the brand name changed to Porsche-Diesel. The AP 16 was replaced at this stage by the AP 18.

The new model series introduced in the Allgaier years 1952-53 was developed by Porsche in Stuttgart. To increase cost efficiency, as many parts as possible were the same across different models. Much less light alloy was used than in the original AP 17 model. The engine came in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-cylinder versions. The engine was an air-cooled swirl chamber diesel. The A 111 had 4 forward and 4 reverse gears, while the others had 5 forward and 1 reverse. The gearboxes were manufactured by Getrag and ZF. The A 133 and A 144 featured a Voith torque converter. The basic model of the A 111 had a short hood covering only the engine and a long wheelbase that allowed attachments to be mounted under the tractor. The long A 111 L had a full-length hood. Later this became the standard version, alongside a short K version with a 150 cm wheelbase. Mainly the A 133 model was imported to Finland. The largest A 144 remained quite rare; only about 150 units were made under the Allgaier brand.

From the beginning of 1956, the brand changed to Porsche-Diesel, and in the summer of the same year, the model designation's letter A was changed to P.

Porsche’s 3-cylinder tractors were known as Super, and the 4-cylinder ones as Master. The SAE horsepower of the models imported to Finland was 39 and 55 hp. The Super’s gearbox was initially 5+1. A highway speed exceeding 30 km/h was considered high at the time. The Super Export had a Deutz 8+2-speed gearbox. The production lineup also included versions equipped with a ZF 8+4-speed gearbox. The Masters were finally imported to Finland equipped with the old 5+1-speed gearbox. In 1961, Porsches were equipped with Bosch hydraulics featuring a weight transfer system.

The Porsche production lineup included a wide range of different versions. Most models had versions with, for example, long and short wheelbases. In Finland, the standard equipment also varied. For example, 1000 rpm PTO and a PTO independent of the driving clutch were standard on some versions. A turbine clutch was standard in Finland, though the Super Export was also imported without a turbine clutch. Porsche production ended in 1963, although the brand was Germany’s second best-selling after Deutz.

In 1956, Allgaier tractors were changed into Porsche Diesels. The following year, a red color was introduced and the numbers were changed into model names. The number of cylinders in Porsche's air-cooled engines distinguished the models from each other. The smallest models were the 1-cylinder Junior and the 2-cylinder Standard. The Junior differed from the rest of the Porsche lineup in terms of its transmission. It had a ZF 6+2 gear gearbox. Other models manufactured before 1960 had 5+1 gears. All versions imported to Finland had a turbine clutch.

From Porsche's extensive model range, one version from each power class was selected and imported to Finland at any given time. In 1960, the Standard was replaced in the import program by the long-wheelbase Standard Star. The Standard Star had a Deutz 8+2 gear transmission and a draft control system.

Porsche was sold quite well in Finland when it was marketed by Hankkija. In 1962, sales dried up as the brand was transferred to OTK, and the following year, production of the brand ended.
