The cylinder on the drawbar was/is driven by a sproket hidden from view. It's not connected. The drawbar cylinder's two hoses are not connected to anything and I believe that whole thing is completely separate from the rest of the tractor and hydraulics.

If the add-on hydraulic unit is on a bracket, that bracket is so close to the trans top it is indistinguishable. Not sproket driven. No unhooked hoses. Only one live hose period; and it runs to the front of the tractor. So my non-existant knowledge of hydraulics tells me that one hose provided pressure-out-only, and any device connected to it would operate under power only one way and said device must return under spring pressure or gravity/downward weight.

The way I see it, if I can buy this tractor I could remove the sweeper attachment completely including the odd drawbar mounted cylinder. This would leave me with a standard Model A with usable (if it works) one-way hydraulics, stock PTO and standard drawbar.

So I wonder if an operational A in this shape is worth $800 to $1,000???
