1960 Suburban Mystery'...WT-26 & WT-30 Tiller

[oliver2-44 9,705]

So I was looking at the old Suburban Brochures and came up with a head scratcher

 

In the Brochures Section there are 2 1960 Suburban Brochures 

1960 Brochure (6) with wt26 tiller.pdf

One list a 1960  WT-26 Tiller, for a Suburban that does not look like it has an extra motor driving it, and no HP is listed for an extra motor.

When I search Redsquare for WT-26 Tiller I don't find anything!  When I Try Google I don't find anything either.

Them 

The other brochure list a 1960 WT-30 Tiller for a Suburban that has a separate motor mounted on top of the tiller. and the brochure list it as a 4HP self powered tiller.

There is an implement manual for the WT-30 Tiller and I can also find pictures of it posted herein.

 

So did WH actually manufacture/sell the WT-26 Tiller? If so, is it rarer than Hens Teeth?

If so anyone have one, seen one, , any Pictures, Manuals?

How was it driven from the tractor engine?

           My guess is that 26" tiller was made for the 401 but didn't perform well.                just my guess.

@gwest_ca Any chance you know of a manual for the WT-26 Tiller. 
Im wanting to see how they powered it for another application idea I have.

Have never seen anything on the WT-26. There may have been a transmission speed reducer involved also.

Saw where the self-powered models did not require a speed reducer. Likely because the tiller and tractor speed controls would be independent but bet it was still too fast to be practical.
