Funny you should ask Dave, just gave one a good looking over the other day. Was a 5 ton state truck and was leaning on the blade.

The cable locks are the same exact ones that we use for the cables that we use to anchor utility poles. We use 2 on each end of the cable, the truck used 3. Obviously 3/8" cable is much stronger than I ever gave it credit for. Then again, maybe used to be 1/2" cable when it started out. Hmm? Naw, locks were tight at 3/8". Mark
