I had a 1946 or so A. Your B is not live power capable. I don't know what would be involved in making live power, except it's not cost effective, even if it were possible. To run a bush hog you need an overunning PTO clutch.
It does not have live hydraulics. Hydraulics work off the PTO shaft. If the hand clutch is disengaged, the pto does not work. Later power trols wouldn't make a difference AFIK.
I have a later JD 620 which does have all that. It has a separate pto clutch, foot operated. It has live hydraulics, with the hydraulic pump working off the distributor drive.
The B has enough power to pull a 5 foot bush hog but it would have to be on wheels, using the above mentioned overunning clutch on the pto shaft. You probably are aware of this, but the big blade mechanism on a bush hog will keep the tractor rolling through the transmission even with the clutch lever out, for a short time, which might be enough to run you into a tree. I did use a bush hog once on a non live pto tractor. It was a Case S with a pto lever on the dash and I could pull it out of gear after disengaging the hand clutch. Didn't do it much.
