The Bomag 05748418 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM component designed for BPR 45/55 and BPR 45/45 reversible vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope matches the original specification for a straightforward, no-fuss replacement. It is confirmed to fit both the BPR 45/55 and BPR 45/45, giving operators on either machine a dependable, correctly sized pull cord that reinstates reliable hand-start performance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Cord Material — made to Bomag's original length, diameter, and tensile specification so the rope seats correctly in the recoil starter housing without fraying or slipping
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to the same dimensions as the factory cord, allowing a clean swap into the existing recoil starter assembly on your machine
- Confirmed Fitment — compatible with BPR 45/55 and BPR 45/45 reversible vibratory plates as verified by Bomag's own parts catalog
- Restored Starting Performance — a worn or frayed starter rope causes hard starting or full failure to start; fitting this replacement restores smooth, consistent pull engagement every time
- Operator Safety — a compromised starter rope can snap under load, creating a sudden loss of tension that can cause hand or wrist injury; replacing it promptly keeps the start cycle predictable and controlled
The starter rope is the pull cord threaded through the recoil starter assembly that manually cranks the engine when the operator pulls the handle. Each pull rotates the crankshaft to initiate combustion, and the recoil spring returns the cord to its wound position ready for the next attempt. When the rope becomes frayed, knotted, or snaps entirely, the engine cannot be started by hand, bringing the plate compactor to a complete standstill until the rope is replaced. Keeping this component in good condition is essential to maintaining uninterrupted operation of the BPR 45/55 and BPR 45/45 on the jobsite.
