The Bomag 05744224 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, and BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this recoil starter matches the original equipment specification for a clean, hassle-free installation. Whether you're restoring a worn unit or replacing a starter that's failed in the field, part number 05744224 ensures you're fitting the right part the first time.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Cord and Pawl Engagement — manufactured to Bomag's original design specs, ensuring correct rope tension, pawl engagement, and reliable pull-start action every time
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to mount directly to the engine housing of BPR 30/38 D-series reversible vibratory plates with no modification to mounting points or fastener patterns
- Confirmed Fitment — compatible with the BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, and BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plates, covering all three generation variants in the BPR 30/38 D series
- Consistent Cold and Warm Starting — a properly functioning recoil starter delivers the sharp, repeatable cranking stroke the engine needs to fire reliably, keeping your plate compactor ready to work at the start of every shift
- Operator Safety — a worn or broken recoil starter can snap back or seize mid-pull; this genuine replacement restores controlled, predictable start behavior to protect the operator
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that cranks the engine by converting the operator's pull on the rope into rotational energy via an internal spring and pawl assembly. On diesel reversible vibratory plates like the BPR 30/38 D series, the recoil starter serves as either the primary or backup starting method, and its condition directly affects whether the machine can be brought into service. When the recoil rope frays, the return spring weakens, or the pawl mechanism wears, the starter loses its snap-back and engagement, making the engine difficult or impossible to start by hand. Replacing the assembly with a genuine Bomag part restores full pull-start function and prevents further damage to the engine's starter interface.
