After 15 years of having a little Kubota BX, I recently got a second backhoe, a Case 580 Super L. My assumption or hope is that there exists a pin of some sorts that can be dropped into the backhoe in its parked position to lock it in place, preventing any sideways drift. On my little Kubota, it's just a brass pin with a handle that you manually pull out and park in a little slot on the frame. If a similar item exists for this Case backhoe, the previous owner did not have it. What's a good go-to place to seek out such a part? I'm not sure what it'd be called.

My kubota has that feature, but the our larger JD310 hoe - equivalent to your 580 - does not have a swing lock pin. If it did, it would have to be a monster of a pin.
