Want to add a front plow to the tractor's raise up and down not sure what's needed for hydraulics to make all that work. 197? Mitsubishi d2000 ( I know I need a ram not sure on the lever and do I just put a tee in both hydraulic lines) thanks for any help
 

You'll need to install a spool valve which will probably need to be an open center type that needs to be attached in series of other hyd functions. It will not operate correctly if valve is "teed" into hyd system.
 
There aren't a lot of Mitsubishi D2000's around so expertise is going to be tough to find.

It sounds like the tractor already has a hydraulic system. If so it should already have a hydraulic remote control for implements. Possibly two for running a loader attachment.

The lever for the control should be marked with a crude picture of a hydraulic cylinder, unless it is worn off. Also look around on the tractor for two sockets side-by-side, or possibly two plugged tubes side-by-side.

If you have a hydraulic remote, it is as simple as connecting the cylinder's hoses to the hydraulic outlet on the tractor, and using the existing lever to control it.

Adding a valve if your tractor doesn't have one is more complicated. You can NOT "tee" into the lines, as that will cause NONE of your hydraulics to work at all. Hydraulics have to have one path from the pump back to the reservoir in order to develop pressure. Teeing into the lines makes two paths.

You might be able to install an "open center" type hydraulic valve in-line on the pressure line coming from the pump. The flow would be pump --> new valve --> rest of tractor.
 
There is only one lever on the tractor and it is for the three
point hitch hydraulic line comes from the front to the back of
the tractor and then returned backup the front. so I can go in
With the high-pressure coming from pump?
