Steering Ram Lock?

[hube2]

Anyone know of any source of steering ram locks in the US or that ship to the US? All I can find are in the UK and I can't get any of them to contact me about shipping to the US.

example: Ram Locks for construction and agricultural machinery

I have seen them at Caterpillar dealers (not Cat products but lots of demand for use on Backhoe Loaders). One thing - I spent much of my time my last years with Cat at European dealers so that's where I may have seen them. But here is a part number to start with. I no longer have access to prints so I cannot tell you the rod diameter it fits over nor the length, but it is a start. This is in the parts catalog for a 416C Backhoe Loader. This is a sleeve that fits over the cylinder rod, a pin that goes through holes in the sleeve, and a lock that secures the pin in place.

I located another place that has them. Different in design, more expensive but also looks more secure. This one replied to my inquiry, so will see what happens.

I'm really surprised that these things are not more easily available in the US. From what I've read they are one of the best ways to secure a tractor.
