Spied: The Porsche Tractor
Andreas sends us spy shots of cars and trucks, but this time he's uncovered a very special lawn tractor that probably doesn't have a place in the Porsche museum--though it wears the livery of Porsche's iconic 911.
The crazy lawn tractor here started life as a Partner machine, with
14.5 horsepower and a hydrostatic transmission. A buddy of our spy
shooter took the tractor apart completely, and then got obsessed. Every
nut and bolt was painted yellow; a new stainless-steel exhaust was
fabricated; and a rev counter made from an old 911 oil filter was
installed, along with a fire extinguisher.
After putting it all back together, the proud Porschephile shot it all
with classic Grand-Prix Weiss (white) with Indischrot (red) details and
wheels. Undoubtedly, it's more fun to work in the garden than on a
track--but who knows? Maybe we'll see this one in the U.S. Lawnmower
Championships one day.
