Wacker Neuson 5100032699 Boom Lock Cable

The Wacker Neuson Boom Lock Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for the BL744ch, BL744h, BL742h, BL744c, BL744 EX, and BL742 EX Backhoe Loaders. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cable meets the exact specifications of the original part installed at the factory. If your boom lock is failing to engage or the cable shows signs of fraying, stretching, or binding, the is the correct direct replacement to restore proper function.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Cable Construction — Built to the precise length, end-fitting geometry, and tensile rating of the original Wacker Neuson boom lock cable, ensuring correct travel and engagement every time.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Connects to the existing boom lock anchor points and routing guides on compatible BL-series machines without modification to hardware or brackets.
• Broad BL-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the BL742 and BL744 Backhoe Loader families, including the ch, h, c, and EX variants, covering a wide range of machine configurations.
• Restored Boom Lock Engagement — A worn or broken boom lock cable prevents the operator from securely locking the boom in the transport or rest position; replacing it restores that critical control function.
• Safety-Critical Control Component — The boom lock cable is directly involved in securing the boom during transport and service; using the correct OEM specification cable ensures the locking mechanism operates within its designed parameters.

The boom lock cable connects the operator-accessible lock lever or handle to the mechanical latch that secures the backhoe boom in a fixed position, typically for road travel or when the attachment is not in use. When the cable is intact and properly tensioned, the operator can engage and release the boom lock with consistent, predictable effort. If the cable stretches, frays, or snaps, the boom lock may fail to engage fully or become impossible to release, creating both a safety concern and an operational problem that takes the machine out of service until the cable is replaced.
