The Wacker Neuson 5200018717 is a genuine OEM Crankshaft designed for the MS64A, BS50-4As, and BS60-4As vibratory rammers. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the exact engineering tolerances specified for these machines, ensuring a direct, dependable installation. This crankshaft is confirmed to fit across multiple configurations of the BS50-4As and BS60-4As series, including plastic shoe, high-altitude, and hour-meter-equipped variants. If you're restoring engine function on a Wacker Neuson rammer, part number 5200018717 is the correct OEM replacement.
Key Features
- Precision-Ground OEM Tolerances — Manufactured to exact crankshaft journal dimensions, ensuring correct bearing fit and balanced rotation within the engine assembly.
- Drop-In Engine Compatibility — Engineered to align directly with the connecting rod, main bearings, and engine casing on MS64A, BS50-4As, and BS60-4As rammers without modification.
- Broad Series Coverage — Fits multiple BS50-4As and BS60-4As variants, including plastic shoe, high-altitude, and hour-meter-equipped models, as well as the MS64A Vibratory Rammer.
- Restores Full Power Stroke — A worn or damaged crankshaft causes erratic rammer stroke, vibration imbalance, or complete engine seizure; this replacement brings the compaction stroke back to spec.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the same part number (5200018717) used in original assembly — no substitution, no compromise on material grade.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of the rammer's two-stroke engine. It converts the linear force of the piston's combustion stroke into rotational motion, which in turn drives the rammer's eccentric mechanism to produce the up-and-down compaction impact. When a crankshaft wears, bends, or suffers journal damage, the engine loses smooth rotation — leading to rough running, excessive vibration, power loss, or a seized engine that won't turn over at all. Replacing a failed crankshaft with a correctly spec'd OEM unit restores the engine's mechanical integrity and ensures the rammer delivers consistent, effective compaction force on cohesive soils and trench work.
