The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod is a genuine OEM component designed for a broad range of Wacker Neuson equipment, including CT36 walk-behind concrete trowels, PT2A trash pumps, WP and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, BPU reversible vibratory plates, GP and GV portable generators, and several vibratory truss screed power sections. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through authorized Wacker Neuson channels, part number is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct fit and function across every compatible machine family. This connecting rod covers an exceptionally wide fitment range, making it a practical stocking part for dealers, rental fleets, and contractors running multiple Wacker Neuson machines. Always confirm your machine's model number and serial number before ordering to ensure is the correct connecting rod for your application.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to the original bearing bore, pin bore, and beam geometry specifications, ensuring correct bearing preload and pin clearance for this engine application.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Matches the original rod length, big-end and small-end dimensions, and bolt pattern so it installs directly into the crankcase without machining or shimming.
- Wide Cross-Family Fitment — A single part number covers CT36 trowels, PT2A trash pumps, WP/VP/BPU vibratory compactors, GP/GV generators, and HP/SP vibratory screed power units — ideal for multi-machine fleets.
- Protects Crankshaft and Piston — A correctly fitted connecting rod maintains proper piston alignment and bearing clearance; a worn or damaged rod causes accelerated crankshaft journal wear, piston slap, and ultimately catastrophic engine failure.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied under part number 5000071647 through authorized distribution, backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM quality assurance for this engine component.
The connecting rod is the engine component that links the reciprocating piston to the rotating crankshaft, converting the linear force of combustion into the rotational power that drives the machine. It must withstand enormous cyclic tensile and compressive loads with every stroke, so dimensional integrity and material quality are critical. When a connecting rod is worn, bent, or cracked, the result is loss of compression, excessive vibration, bearing knock, and — if left unaddressed — seizure or complete engine destruction.
