The Bomag 05720710 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM recoil starter designed for Bomag vibratory plates and reversible vibratory plates across multiple series, including the BP 25/50 D, BPR 35/60 D, BPR 50/55 D, and BPR 60/65 D. Sourced directly from Bomag, this part matches the original specification so it installs without modification and operates exactly as the factory unit did. Compatible with a wide range of diesel-powered Bomag plates — from the BVP 18/45 D and BP 20/45 D through the BPR 40/60 D and BPR 40/60 D/E — this starter is the correct replacement when the original pull-start assembly shows wear, rope failure, or spring breakage. Choosing a genuine OEM part means the recoil mechanism, pawl engagement, and rope routing are all matched to the engine housing on your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull-Start Assembly — manufactured to Bomag's original specification, ensuring the recoil spring tension, pawl geometry, and rope length are correct for the engine fitted to these plates
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — bolt pattern and housing profile match the original mounting points on compatible BP and BPR series plates, so installation is straightforward
- Broad Vibratory Plate Coverage — fits BP 25/50 D, BP 20/50 D, BP 20/45 D, BVP 18/45 D vibratory plates and BPR 25/40 D, BPR 25/50 D, BPR 35/42 D, BPR 35/42 D/H, BPR 35/60 D, BPR 35/60 D/H, BPR 40/60 D, BPR 40/60 D/E, BPR 50/55 D, and BPR 60/65 D reversible vibratory plates
- Consistent Cold-Start Reliability — a properly functioning recoil starter delivers smooth, consistent cranking force; a worn or broken unit leaves the machine unable to start at the beginning of a shift
- Rope and Spring Integrity — OEM-grade recoil rope and return spring are rated for the repetitive pull loads typical of diesel plate compactor operation in field conditions
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism mounted to the engine housing of a diesel-powered compaction plate. When the operator pulls the handle, the rope engages a set of spring-loaded pawls that spin the engine crankshaft, initiating combustion. Once the engine fires, the pawls retract automatically and the rope retracts into the housing via the recoil spring. A failed recoil starter — whether from a snapped rope, a broken return spring, or seized pawls — leaves the machine completely inoperable until the unit is replaced. Replacing the starter with a correct-specification OEM part, such as part number 05720710, ensures the engagement timing and pull resistance are matched to the engine, protecting both the starter mechanism and the engine's starting components over repeated use.
