Get a 3.5" or 4" x 8" cylinder. Probably with 1" clevises on both ends but we don't have a picture of your 3pth.
You didn't mention any external valves so you only have pressure in one direction. Not a good setup as the hitch may not go down by gravity if there is no load on hitch.
Use the port that extends the cylinder. The other port gets vented to atmosphere via a screw-in breather. The working port will be at the base of the cylinder, not near the piston rod.
It should be mounted base down. Slightly more lift that way plus the piston rod is less likely to be damaged.
If you look at the Liftall lever where it enters the reservoir, you will see a rotatable clip about 1" long. Turn that with pliers so that it fits the notch in the lever when it is pulled back. This is only used with hydraulic motors or if the tractor is fitted with an auxillary four way open center valve. Some people call them two way but that is wrong. Don't get confused there.
The liftall lever has three positions. Raise, neutral or hold, and lower. Lower is all the way forward. Raise is spring return to neutral.
Sure you can screw up. Everybody does. Just take it slowly and think about what you are doing. Ask more questions if need be.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
