The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod is a genuine OEM Connecting Rod designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS70-4As, BS62-4Ab/28, BS62-4A/28, BS68-4Ab/28, and BS68-4A/28 series vibratory rammers. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper engine operation across the full range of compatible BS-series rammers. This OEM part ensures a direct, like-for-like swap that matches the original specification your machine was built with. If your rammer is showing signs of engine knock, loss of power, or excessive vibration, the Connecting Rod is a critical component to inspect and replace.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Rod Geometry — Manufactured to exact bore diameter and rod length tolerances, ensuring proper piston stroke and compression in the engine assembly.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Engineered to install directly in place of the original Connecting Rod with no machining or fitting adjustments required to the crank or piston pin interfaces.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility — Fits BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS70-4As, BS62-4A/28, BS62-4Ab/28, BS68-4A/28, and BS68-4Ab/28 vibratory rammers across multiple machine configurations and shoe sizes.
- Restores Full Compaction Power — A worn or damaged connecting rod causes misfiring, power loss, and erratic rammer stroke; replacing it with a correct OEM part restores consistent impact force and compaction performance.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this component carries the same part number — 5100015796 — used by authorized service centers worldwide.
The connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft inside the engine. It converts the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational force that drives the rammer's compaction mechanism. When a connecting rod wears, bends, or fails, the result is typically severe engine damage — including knocking, seizure, or complete loss of drive — making timely replacement essential to keeping the machine operational and avoiding costlier engine repairs.
