9N Lift Questions

I'm working on a 9N with no lift. No movement of the lift arms at all.
They are free to move when lifted by hand.
Some info that may or may not be relevant: a tree fell on this tractor.
One of the limbs bent the quadrant, throttle plate, steering wheel
and the gear shift lever. No broken or cracked cast or covers etc.
I straightened all the steel pieces up pretty easily.
PTO is on and working correctly. Ran a manure spreader with it.
I took the inspection cover off and made sure the forks were
attached to the T and that the control valve was free.
When I move the touch control lever down it moves the forks and
the control valve to the rear of the tractor, but it springs back up.
I have a handful of new friction disks when I get to that point.
When I move the touch control lever up, there is no movement of
the forks or the valve. I have the quadrant tilted all the way back.
I carefully reached in with a pry bar, tractor/PTO running and moved
the forks forward to move the control valve to the front.
Still no lift at all. I do not see any swirling or bubbles in the oil.
I have not put a hose on the relief valve yet.
I was hoping this would be an easy fix, but maybe not.
Hopefully you guys can straighten me out and get me on the right track.
Any suggestions on what to look at next? Pump maybe?
I'm sure there's something I missed along the way!

Royce, the ONLY thing that moves the fork/control fwd/lift is a spring between fork & bottom front of cylinder. Moving the touch control lever simply moves an eccentric out of the way so that the spring can pull forks fwd. If in prying, you were low enough on the forks to actually move the valve forward/lift, then I expect that a passage is plugged in/around intake or pump is broken. Note that the fork hinges at about mid length & if you pried above the hinge, that was ineffective in moving the valve.

Thanks JMOR, yes, I did notice the hinge point in the forks.
I pressed forward below that point. Nearly to the bottom.
I guess I'll drain the fluid and have a better look.
Having stuck my hand down there to check the T, I know there
is sludge in the bottom that should be cleaned out anyway. <sigh>
It's just never that easy around here!
