new to me JCB 1550B questions

I'm missing the hoe lock on my 1550B. If i were to get one, I don't see how you can lock/unlock from the cab. I have a parts book and see that on the later models there is an incab lever that you pull/push that operates a master cylinder which in turn moves a slave cylinder back on the hoe to move the lock bracket up and down. Mine doesn't have that lever in the cab. How do you move the locking bracket up and down? Get out of cab? Would like to have a lock so I could store backhoe in shed without taking up so much room and is also annoying constantly pulling hoe up when just using front end loader work.
