Wacker Neuson 5100005720 Diesel Engine KDW 702 (DPU80)

The Wacker Neuson 5100005720 is a genuine OEM Diesel Engine KDW 702 (DPU80) designed for the DPU80 and DPU90 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this replacement engine carries the same engineering and quality standards as the original unit installed at the factory. Compatible across a wide range of DPU80 and DPU90 variants — including Lec, Lem, and rLec configurations in both 670 and 770 series — this engine delivers the power output your plate compactor depends on to perform effective soil and aggregate compaction. Confirm your machine model against the fitment list before ordering to ensure a direct match with part number 5100005720.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Power Output: — Matched to the original KDW 702 engine specification so your DPU compactor delivers the centrifugal force and compaction depth it was designed for.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to the same mounting points, shaft dimensions, and connections as the factory engine, supporting a straightforward swap on compatible machines.
• Broad DPU80 and DPU90 Fitment: — Covers DPU80Lec, DPU80Lem, DPU80rLec, DPU80rLem, DPU90Lec, DPU90Lem, DPU90rLec, and DPU90rLem variants across 670 and 770 series, including US-market models.
• Sustained Compaction Performance: — A fully functional diesel engine keeps the exciter assembly running at correct speed and amplitude; a worn or seized engine causes erratic compaction force and puts the entire machine out of service.
• OEM Part Number Verified: — Listed and sold as Wacker Neuson part 5100005720, giving you a traceable, verified reference for fleet maintenance records and warranty documentation.

The diesel engine is the core power source of a DPU reversible plate compactor, converting fuel into the rotational force that drives the exciter unit beneath the baseplate. The exciter translates that rotation into high-frequency vibration, which compacts soil, gravel, and aggregate beneath the plate. When the engine loses compression, fails to start, or runs erratically, compaction force drops off immediately — leaving material under-compacted and the machine unfit for use. Replacing a failed engine with the correct OEM unit restores full operational capability and ensures the machine performs to its rated compaction specifications.
