Wacker Neuson 5000202847 Gas Engine WM170

The Wacker Neuson Gas Engine WM170 is a genuine OEM Gas Engine WM170 designed for the BPU 2540 reversible vibratory plate compactor. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this engine assembly is an exact-match replacement that restores full power output to your machine without guesswork or fitment concerns. It is the same unit installed at the factory, ensuring seamless integration with the BPU 2540's drive and compaction systems.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Power Source — Factory-matched engine output and displacement spec ensure the BPU 2540 delivers its rated 25 kN compaction force from the first pull.
• Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to match the BPU 2540's mounting configuration and drive interface, so installation follows the original assembly procedure without custom fabrication.
• Confirmed BPU 2540 Compatibility — Verified fitment for the BPU 2540 gasoline reversible vibratory plate compactor, 25 kN, 40 cm/16 in working width.
• Restored Compaction Performance — A correctly running WM170 engine maintains consistent eccentric shaft speed, which is critical for even, full-depth compaction across soil and aggregate base materials.
• Fuel System Integrity — As a complete OEM engine assembly, internal fuel and ignition components are matched from the factory, supporting safe, reliable cold-start operation in field conditions.

The Gas Engine WM170 is the prime mover for the BPU 2540 reversible vibratory plate compactor, converting fuel into the rotational energy that drives the exciter unit and generates compaction force. When the engine loses power, misfires, or fails to start, the plate loses the consistent shaft speed it needs to produce rated compaction output — leaving soil or aggregate undercompacted and potentially causing site quality issues. Replacing a worn or failed engine with a genuine OEM unit restores the machine to its original operating specification and gets compaction work back on schedule.
