The Bomag 05744116 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag reversible vibratory plates, vibratory plates, and tampers across multiple model lines. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope meets the original design specifications for a dependable pull-start engagement every time. This part fits the BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, BPR 30/38 D-3, BP 15/45 D, BP 15/45 D-2, BP 18/45 D-2, and BT 80 D, covering a broad range of Bomag light compaction equipment. When your existing rope frays, snaps, or loses tension, swapping in part number 05744116 restores reliable engine starting without any guesswork on compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — constructed to Bomag's original rope diameter, length, and tensile rating so the recoil mechanism engages and retracts cleanly without binding or premature wear
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — routes and anchors exactly like the factory rope, threading through the recoil starter housing on covered models with no trimming or splicing needed
- Broad Compaction Equipment Coverage — fits BPR 30/38 D, BPR 30/38 D-2, and BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plates, BP 15/45 D, BP 15/45 D-2, and BP 18/45 D-2 vibratory plates, and the BT 80 D tamper
- Restored Pull-Start Performance — a worn or snapped starter rope leaves the engine unable to crank; this replacement restores full recoil travel and consistent starting under field conditions
- Correct OEM Part Number — ordering by Bomag part number 05744116 eliminates the risk of receiving an incorrectly sized rope that stresses the recoil spring or slips from the handle anchor
The starter rope is the pull cord that transfers energy from the operator's hand to the recoil starter mechanism, spinning the engine over to initiate combustion. It runs through a guided channel in the recoil housing, winds around a central pulley, and returns under spring tension after each pull. Over time, repeated use causes the rope to fray at stress points near the handle or the pulley anchor, and a fully broken rope makes the engine impossible to start by hand. Replacing a worn starter rope promptly keeps the recoil assembly intact and prevents additional damage to the spring or housing caused by an uncontrolled rope snap-back.
