The Wacker Neuson Rewind Clutch Cable Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cable assembly ensures an exact, manufacturer-specified fit across gas burner, diesel burner, and generator-equipped variants within both heater families. Confirmed fitment includes the E5000 Ground Heater with gas and diesel burner configurations, the E5000 Ground Heater with 12kW generator and diesel burner, and the CH5000 Cross Heater with oil burner and generator/oil burner variants. When your rewind clutch cable shows signs of fraying, stiffness, or breakage, replacing it with the correct OEM part gets your heater back to full operation fast.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Cable Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original specifications for correct tension, travel distance, and cable diameter — critical for reliable clutch engagement on the rewind starter.
- Drop-In Assembly Replacement — Supplied as a complete cable assembly, the 5000170365 reconnects to the existing rewind and clutch linkage without requiring custom fitting or cable trimming.
- Broad E5000 and CH5000 Compatibility — Fits multiple configurations across both heater families, including gas burner, diesel burner, 12kW generator/diesel, and oil burner variants.
- Restored Starter Engagement — A worn or snapped rewind clutch cable prevents the starter mechanism from engaging properly; a fresh OEM cable restores clean, consistent pull-start operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM quality assurance, this part is built to perform in demanding ground-heating and cross-heating applications where cold-weather reliability is non-negotiable.
The rewind clutch cable connects the pull-start handle to the clutch mechanism on the heater's rewind starter assembly. When you pull the starter cord, this cable transfers that motion to engage the clutch, which then spins the engine over for ignition. Over time, repeated pulling cycles, exposure to cold temperatures, and general wear can cause the cable to stretch, fray, or snap entirely — leaving the starter inoperable. Replacing a damaged cable with the correct OEM part restores full mechanical linkage between the operator and the engine, ensuring the heater starts reliably when you need it most.
