W46/A15 by Wahl W46/A15: two-cylinder small tractor rated at 20.6 kW (28 hp) in unit construction, built between 1951 and 1952.
The W46/A15 belongs to Wahl's early post-war generation and was built in unit construction, where the engine, clutch and gearbox formed a single load-bearing housing without a separate frame, as was common for small tractors of this period.

The W46/A15 is powered by a two-cylinder engine of 2,356 cm³ displacement, delivering 20.6 kW (28 hp). At a height of 1,580 mm, a length of 2,785 mm, a wheelbase of 1,865 mm and a top speed of 19.85 km/h, the tractor is a compact representative of the early 1950s class. According to factory figures, around 20 units were built.
The very small number of roughly 20 units built makes the W46/A15 a genuine rarity among post-war small tractors. The 6.00-16 front and 9-24 rear tyres show sizing typical of this power class, with larger drive wheels at the rear.
Buying a used W46/A15 is, given its extreme rarity, effectively buying a top-tier collector's piece. What matters is checking the unit-construction housing for cracks in the load-bearing structure, since repairing such a rare model with original parts would be nearly impossible. Hoses and lines should also be checked for material fatigue after so many years of service. A test drive and a check of every lever and control also belong to a thorough inspection. The overall condition of the paint and sheet metal also gives clues about how the machine was stored over the years.
