The gag was used to raise and lower a blade attached to the rear of the tractor?

No, the way I understand it was from the "belly" of the tractor and, you could control the angle of the blade, and maybe the height, as it graded the road.

If I was going to guess, the attachment it would be used to control a tow behind grader
I looks to me like a mechanism to raise and lower a blade for grading etc.
I believe the side wheels are to adjust the height and angle of a plow blade attachment.

There were ‘tow behind’ graders, originally pulled by horses and later by tractors but the lift wheels were mounted on the grader by a platform that the grader operator stood on. Theses wheels are definitely for a tractor mounted blade.
Pretty sure one of the earliest Farmalls.
From Wiki:
The Farmall Regular, or just the Farmall, was the first in the Farmall line of general-use row-crop tractors manufactured by International Harvester. The Regular was the first affordable tractor that could be used for plowing, stationary threshing, or cultivating. For most of its product life it was marketed as the "Farmall," with the "Regular" added when the Farmall F-20 and F-30 appeared as its successors. More than 134,000 were sold from 1924 to 1931.
