The Bomag 05744220 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPR 40/45 D, BPR 40/45 D-2, and BPR 40/45 D-3 reversible vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope is manufactured to the exact dimensions and tensile specifications required for dependable pull-start engagement on these machines. Contractors and operators can order with confidence knowing this is the correct, verified replacement for part number 05744220.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Made to Bomag's original tensile strength and diameter specifications, so the rope feeds, grips, and retracts through the recoil mechanism exactly as intended — no fraying shortcuts or off-spec materials.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to match the original routing and length of the recoil starter assembly, allowing straightforward installation without reworking anchor points or handle hardware.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with BPR 40/45 D, BPR 40/45 D-2, and BPR 40/45 D-3 reversible vibratory plates, covering all three diesel variants in this plate family.
- Reliable Cold-Start Performance — A worn or snapped starter rope leaves the plate unable to start in the field; replacing it with the correct OEM rope restores confident pull-start engagement every time.
- Operator Safety — A frayed or undersized rope can snap mid-pull, causing sudden kickback or loss of control. Using the correct OEM rope maintains the safe, consistent pull force the recoil system was designed around.
The starter rope is the tensile link between the operator and the engine's recoil starter mechanism. When the handle is pulled, the rope engages the recoil assembly to spin the engine over and initiate combustion. Over time, repeated pull cycles, UV exposure, and fuel contact cause the rope to fray, stretch, or break — leaving the machine unable to start. Replacing the starter rope with a correctly sized, OEM-grade part restores full starting function and ensures the recoil spring and pulley continue to operate within their designed load range.
