The Wacker Neuson Bushing is a genuine OEM component designed for VP-series vibratory plate compactors, including the VPY1740, VPY1750, VPA1740, VPX1740, and VPA1340 models. As a direct factory replacement, this bushing installs exactly as the original, with no modifications needed to the surrounding assembly. Sourcing the correct OEM bushing ensures the interface it supports maintains proper tolerancing and alignment throughout the service life of the machine. Keep a verified part number on hand to avoid costly delays when routine maintenance or unexpected wear brings the machine down.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Bearing Surface: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the bushing delivers the correct load-bearing surface and wear resistance the VP-series compactor demands.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to the same dimensional profile as the original, so it seats correctly within the existing housing without reworking adjacent components.
- Broad VP-Series Compatibility: — Fits VPY1740, VPY1750, VPA1740, VPX1740, and VPA1340 vibratory plate compactors, covering both gasoline and diesel variants across the lineup.
- Protects Critical Moving Interfaces: — A worn or failed bushing allows metal-to-metal contact at pivot or shaft interfaces, accelerating wear on surrounding components and leading to more extensive repairs if left unaddressed.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Supplied under part number 5000079712 directly from the Wacker Neuson parts program, giving you confidence in authenticity and fitment accuracy.
A bushing acts as a wear-absorbing sleeve at pivot points, shaft interfaces, or mounting joints within the compactor's drive and exciter assembly. By providing a controlled bearing surface between two moving or load-bearing components, it prevents direct metal-to-metal contact and absorbs vibration and lateral stress generated during compaction cycles. When a bushing wears beyond its service limit, play develops at the joint it supports, which can cause audible knocking, reduced compaction efficiency, and accelerated damage to the shaft or housing it protects.
