The Wacker Neuson 5000178055 is a genuine OEM Muffler Bracket designed for LTW6K and LTW8K series light towers. This bracket provides the structural mount point that secures the muffler to the engine assembly, ensuring the exhaust system stays properly positioned during operation. It is a direct factory replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, covering Standard T4, Custom T4, Cold Weather T4, and Cold Weather T4 PAS configurations across both the LTW6K and LTW8K families, including LTW6K-V, LTW8K-V, LTW6K-V S, and LTW8K-V S variants. When replacing a damaged or missing bracket, using the correct OEM part ensures the exhaust system aligns and mounts as originally engineered.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design specifications, delivering the correct mounting geometry and material strength for exhaust system support on LTW-series light towers.
- Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and hardware pattern on LTW6K and LTW8K engines, allowing straightforward installation without fabrication or modification.

- Exhaust System Stability — Keeps the muffler securely positioned to prevent vibration-induced movement, contact with surrounding components, and progressive exhaust joint wear during extended tower runtime.
- Verified Part Number — Part number 5000178055 is confirmed across multiple LTW6K and LTW8K machine configurations, giving you confidence you are ordering the correct bracket for your specific tower.
The muffler bracket is a structural mounting component that anchors the muffler to the engine frame on Wacker Neuson LTW-series light towers. By holding the muffler in a fixed position, it prevents stress on exhaust joints and keeps hot exhaust surfaces away from adjacent components. A cracked, corroded, or missing bracket allows the muffler to shift under engine vibration, which can lead to exhaust leaks, accelerated joint wear, and potential contact with fuel lines or wiring — making prompt replacement essential for safe and uninterrupted tower operation.
