Wacker Neuson 5000071637 Push Rod (Valve Lifter)

The Wacker Neuson 5000071637 is a genuine OEM Push Rod (Valve Lifter) designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson equipment powered by compatible small gasoline engines, including CT36 and CT30 walk-behind concrete trowels, WP and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, PT2A trash pumps, GP and GV portable generators, BFS floor saws, and vibratory truss screed power units. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000071637 carries the same specifications as the component installed at the factory, ensuring a true like-for-like replacement across every compatible machine in this broad fitment range. If your engine is showing signs of valve train wear — low compression, rough idle, or reduced power output — replacing the push rod (valve lifter) with the correct OEM part restores proper valve actuation and engine performance. Always confirm your machine model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Valve Train Geometry — Manufactured to exact Wacker Neuson tolerances, ensuring the push rod (valve lifter) maintains correct lift height and contact angle for proper valve timing.
• Direct Engine Drop-In — Engineered to seat correctly in the valve train without any machining or shimming, fitting the same engine family used across CT, WP, VP, BPU, PT, GP, and BFS equipment lines.
• Broad Cross-Series Fitment — Confirmed compatible with CT30 and CT36 walk-behind trowels, WP1540/WP1550/WP2050 and VP series vibratory plates, PT2A trash pumps, GP2500A and GV2500A generators, and BFS floor saws, among others.
• Restores Full Compression and Power — A worn or bent push rod causes the engine to lose valve control, resulting in low compression, misfiring, and reduced output; replacing 5000071637 returns the valve train to correct operation.
• Fuel System Integrity — Correct valve actuation is essential for proper fuel-air intake and exhaust scavenging; a failed push rod (valve lifter) can lead to hard starting, excessive fuel consumption, and accelerated cylinder wear if not addressed promptly.

The push rod (valve lifter) is a precision-ground steel rod that transfers motion from the camshaft lobe, through the lifter, up to the rocker arm, which in turn opens and closes the engine's intake and exhaust valves at the correct moment in the combustion cycle. Without a straight, correctly dimensioned push rod, the valve timing falls out of specification, robbing the engine of compression and power and causing rough or failed starts. A push rod that is bent, worn at its contact faces, or incorrect in length will accelerate wear on the rocker arm and valve stem, making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part the most cost-effective way to restore engine health.
