OT Way to free up a sprung steel stock wagon hitch?

Back to the "don't loan your stuff out", one of our stock wagons that we use behind our tractors was gleefully put behind somebody's pick-up truck and they didn't clip the pin. Needless to say it went tongue first into the ditch. Well that was probably 20 years ago. Anyway, it will turn to the right, but if you turn to the left, the tractor just drags it as the tongue won't turn past straight going in that direction. Is there a way to pop this free? Does something need bent back or heated, or is this probably a big shop item to get fixed?
 
Put it up on jack stands under the axle, but leaving the steering free. Get a friend to help, and move it through the sweep of its motion. You will find either a bent stop tang, or bent flange keeping it from turning. JimN
