The Bomag 05744387 Decompression Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, and BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plates, as well as BP 15/45 D, BP 15/45 D-2, and BP 18/45 D-2 vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this shaft carries the same part number and specification as the original, so it drops into place without guesswork. Contractors running either forward or reversible plate compactors in this family can stock one part with confidence, knowing fitment is confirmed across both machine lines.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — manufactured to the exact dimensional and material tolerances Bomag set for the decompression shaft, ensuring consistent engagement and release performance across the engine's compression cycle
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original shaft profile and mounting interface, installing into the engine assembly exactly as the factory component does
- Broad Plate Compactor Coverage — confirmed fit for BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, BPR 30/38 D-3, BP 15/45 D, BP 15/45 D-2, and BP 18/45 D-2 machines, covering both the reversible and forward vibratory plate families
- Easy Starting Preserved — a correctly functioning decompression shaft allows the engine to release cylinder pressure during pull-start, making cold and warm starts manageable for the operator; a worn or stuck shaft forces hard-pull starts and strains the recoil system
- Genuine Bomag Part Number — order by part number 05744387 to confirm you are receiving the correct shaft, not a mis-cataloged substitute
The decompression shaft is a small but critical engine component that temporarily releases compression from the cylinder during the starting sequence. By reducing the resistance the operator must overcome on the pull cord, it makes starting a diesel-powered plate compactor practical by hand. When the shaft wears, sticks, or breaks, cylinder pressure is no longer relieved and the engine becomes extremely difficult or impossible to start manually. Replacing this shaft promptly restores normal starting behavior and protects the recoil starter from the excessive force that a fully compressed pull-start demands.
