The Bomag 05748578 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM component designed for BPR reversible vibratory plates and the BW 65 walk-behind roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter rope delivers an exact match to original specifications, ensuring it seats and operates correctly within the recoil starter assembly. Compatible models include the BPR 25/40, BPR 25/50, BPR 35/42, BPR 35/60, BPR 35/60 H, BPR 60/65, and BW 65 — making it a single, dependable solution across a broad range of Bomag compaction equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Quality — engineered to the same tensile strength and diameter as the original rope, so it handles the repeated pull loads of a recoil starter without fraying or breaking prematurely
- Direct Recoil Starter Fit — cut and finished to the correct length for drop-in installation into the existing starter housing, with no splicing or resizing needed
- Broad Bomag Compaction Coverage — fits BPR 25/40, BPR 25/50, BPR 35/42, BPR 35/60, BPR 35/60 H, and BPR 60/65 reversible vibratory plates, as well as the BW 65 walk-behind roller
- Consistent Engine Starting Performance — a worn or snapped starter rope makes the engine impossible to start manually; replacing it with part number 05748578 restores reliable hand-start capability on every pull
- OEM Part Number Confidence — ordering by Bomag part number 05748578 confirms you receive the correct rope for your machine, eliminating guesswork during routine maintenance or field repair
The starter rope is the pull cord that runs through the recoil starter assembly and transfers the operator's manual pulling force to spin the engine over and initiate combustion. Each pull causes the rope to extend and retract under significant load, and over time the fibers fatigue, fray, or snap entirely — leaving the machine unable to start. Replacing a worn starter rope is a straightforward maintenance task, but using the correct OEM rope ensures the proper length, diameter, and material grade are in place so the recoil mechanism functions as designed from the very first pull.
