The Bomag 05720205 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM replacement designed for Bomag BPR-series reversible vibratory plates and BP-series vibratory plates running diesel engines. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope matches the original specifications for a drop-in fit across a wide range of diesel-powered plate compactors including the BPR 35/42 D, BPR 35/60 D, BPR 40/60 D, BP 25/48 D, BP 25/50 D, and additional models in the BPR and BP families. Being a genuine OEM component means the length, diameter, and end fittings are identical to what left the factory, so there is no guesswork during installation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — matched to Bomag's original rope diameter, length, and tensile rating so the recoil starter engages cleanly every pull
- Direct Replacement Fit — engineered to install into the recoil starter housing of compatible BPR and BP diesel plate compactors without modification
- Broad Diesel Plate Coverage — fits BPR 25/40 D, BPR 25/45 D-3, BPR 30/38 D-3, 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, BPR 60/65 D, BPR 25/50 D, BP 18/45 D-2, BP 20/45 D, BP 20/50 D, BP 25/48 D, BP 25/50 D, and BVP 18/45 D
- Dependable Pull Strength — a frayed or snapped starter rope leaves a diesel plate compactor dead on site; replacing it with part number 05720205 restores full manual start capability immediately
- Fast Turnaround Service Part — starter ropes are a high-wear consumable; keeping part number 05720205 on hand means a broken rope is a quick fix rather than an extended delay
The starter rope is the pull-cord that transfers force from the operator's hand to the recoil starter mechanism, which in turn spins the engine over to initiate combustion. On diesel-powered vibratory plate compactors, a working starter rope is essential for every cold start — if the rope frays, kinks, or snaps, the engine cannot be cranked manually and the machine is out of service until it is replaced. Regular inspection of the rope for signs of wear at the handle end and the guide eyelet helps catch damage before a full break occurs.
