The Wacker Neuson 5100012708 is a genuine OEM Drive Lever designed for the RD18 series tandem rollers, covering RD18-80, RD18-100, and RD18-100C variants across US, SE, and standard configurations. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is built to the exact specification of the original component it replaces, ensuring correct function within the machine's drive control system. The 5100012708 is the verified part number across a wide range of RD18 model configurations, making it the dependable choice for operators and fleet managers servicing this equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the same tolerances and material specifications as the original Drive Lever, ensuring correct engagement feel and mechanical response in the drive control assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting points and lever geometry, allowing straightforward installation without modification to the surrounding control linkage.
- Broad RD18 Series Coverage: — Compatible with RD18-80, RD18-100, and RD18-100C tandem rollers across US, SE, and standard configurations, including .3-series revisions.
- Sustained Drive Control Accuracy: — A properly functioning Drive Lever maintains precise operator input to the drive system; a worn or damaged lever can cause erratic speed response or loss of directional control during compaction passes.
- Verified OEM Part Number: — Part number 5100012708 is confirmed across multiple RD18 machine numbers, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong component for your specific serial range.
The Drive Lever is a mechanical control component that transmits the operator's input at the handle into movement within the machine's drive or propulsion linkage. On a tandem roller like the RD18 series, precise lever action is essential for smooth forward and reverse travel and accurate speed modulation during asphalt compaction work. When the Drive Lever wears, bends, or fails, the operator loses the crisp, repeatable control needed to lay consistent compaction passes — leading to uneven results and potential rework on the mat.
