1951 b john deere on the back a lift and return line. If you were to use a gehl 418 v rake with 2 single action rams could you make a splitter on the lift to activate both sides at the same time? the control is on the left side of the seat is this the power troll or another name? Thanks for any ideas.

On a 1949 model B that would be a Power-Trol.
It was a native two-way system but will run one-way cylinders without modification.
It is limited on pressure and oil capacity.
The direct/short answer to your question is:
Yes, you could use a pipe tee to run the two lift cylinders on your rake.

Yes you can but it is designed for a double action cylinder, not a single action. There is a way to adjust for single but it does not work good. I forget how to do that as way too many years and never used that setup, always double action cylinders. The only other hydrolics on that tractor that was avaible was a pedal operated lift only for cultivators. and would not control a cylinder. I had a 46 B, 49 B, 51 A all with the power troll. And a 50 AR also with power trol but it did not have the rockshaft so different adjusting.

You may not have enough pressure to operate modern equipment.
