The Bomag 05748546 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BT 50, BT 60, BT 60/4, BT 60 G, BT 65, BT 65/4, BT 65 G, and BVT 65 tampers, as well as the BVP 10/30 vibratory plate. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope matches the original equipment specification for a clean, direct installation with no guesswork. Whether you're completing a routine service or replacing a frayed or broken rope in the field, this is the correct part to restore your machine to working order.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original material and length specification, ensuring the rope handles the repeated tension load of recoil starting without premature fraying or snapping
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to install directly into the recoil starter assembly of compatible Bomag tampers and vibratory plate, matching the original diameter and end-fitting configuration
- Broad Tamper and Plate Coverage — fits the BT 50, BT 60, BT 60/4, BT 60 G, BT 65, BT 65/4, BT 65 G, and BVT 65 tampers, plus the BVP 10/30 vibratory plate, covering multiple units in a mixed fleet with a single part number
- Restore Pull-Start Function — a worn or snapped starter rope leaves the machine unable to start; replacing it with part number 05748546 returns full manual-start capability immediately
- Field-Ready Serviceability — a straightforward swap that operators and mechanics can complete on-site, keeping compaction work on schedule without sending the machine to a dealer
The starter rope is the pull cord that transfers manual force from the operator to the recoil starter mechanism, which in turn spins the engine over for ignition. It is routed through a guide on the starter housing and anchored at both the handle and the recoil drum. Over time, repeated pulling causes the rope to fray, weaken, or snap entirely — at which point the engine cannot be started by hand. Replacing the rope promptly with the correct Bomag part restores the recoil starter to full operation and prevents secondary damage to the starter assembly caused by an unraveling or knotted cord.
