ABSTRACT:
A differential lock mechanism for use in a vehicle and having a cam mechanism that may be actuated by the vehicle user. The cam mechanism transfers rotational movement to linear movement along the axis of the vehicle axles to move an engagement mechanism into or out of engagement with an axle bevel gear. The engagement mechanism is also engaged to and rotates with a differential carrier, and thus when it is in the engaged position, it locks the vehicle axles to rotate with the differential carrier.
