The Bomag 05749140 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BT 50, BT 60, BT 60 G, BT 65, and BT 65 G tampers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this recoil starter delivers an exact match to the original assembly — no guesswork on fit or function. It is the correct replacement for any BT-series tamper showing a worn, broken, or non-engaging pull-start mechanism.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Recoil Assembly — manufactured to Bomag's original specification, ensuring the correct rope length, pulley diameter, and spring tension for this tamper engine application
- Direct-Mount Replacement — engineered to bolt directly onto BT-series tamper engines using the original mounting points, with no reworking of the engine housing required
- Broad BT-Series Fitment — confirmed compatibility with the BT 50, BT 60, BT 60 G, BT 65, and BT 65 G tampers, covering the core Bomag light compaction tamper lineup
- Restores Clean, Consistent Engine Engagement — a functioning recoil starter returns full rope retraction and reliable pawl engagement, so the engine catches on the first or second pull every time
- Verified Part Number Traceability — ordering by Bomag part number 05749140 confirms you are receiving the correct starter unit for your specific machine, not a generic substitute
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism mounted to the engine housing of the tamper. When you pull the starter rope, an internal spring retracts it while spring-loaded pawls momentarily engage the engine flywheel to crank the engine over. Over time, the recoil spring can weaken or break, the rope can fray, or the pawls can wear — any of these failures will leave the tamper unable to start. Replacing the full recoil starter assembly restores the complete starting system and gets the machine back to work without delay.
