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 delivers the correct power output and mounting configuration required by the BPU 2540 platform. It is a direct OEM replacement, ensuring the compactor returns to full operating specification after installation.

Key Features

• Correct Power Output for Reversible Plate Compaction — The WM170 engine is matched to the BPU 2540's drive and exciter system, ensuring the plate delivers its rated 25 kN of compaction force across the full 40 cm/16 in drum width.
• Genuine OEM Assembly — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's own production standards, this engine carries the same part number (5000202847) used in original equipment builds — no adaptation or fitment guesswork.
• Direct Fitment for BPU 2540 — Confirmed fit for the BPU 2540 gasoline reversible vibratory plate compactor, with mounting points, shaft dimensions, and throttle linkage positions matching the original installation.
• Restores Full Machine Performance — A worn or seized engine robs the BPU 2540 of the consistent RPM needed to maintain compaction frequency. Replacing with part number 5000202847 restores proper exciter speed and compaction output.
• Fuel System Integrity — As a complete gas engine assembly, the WM170 includes the fuel system components configured for safe, reliable operation — important for a machine used in active compaction environments near other trades.

The Gas Engine WM170 is the primary power source for the BPU 2540 reversible vibratory plate compactor, driving the exciter mechanism that generates the compaction force transmitted through the baseplate. When the engine is running correctly, it maintains the consistent RPM needed to produce effective, controlled compaction on soil and aggregate. When the engine wears out, loses compression, or fails to start reliably, the entire machine is taken out of service — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM unit critical to keeping compaction work on schedule.
