The Wacker Neuson Starting Crank is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5545H, and DPU 6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this starting crank matches the original part specification, ensuring it seats and engages correctly with the engine recoil or manual start system on your machine. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number carries the same quality and dimensional accuracy as the part that shipped with your equipment. Confirm your machine's model number before ordering to ensure fitment across the wide range of DPU variants in this series.
Key Features
- Factory-Matched Engagement Geometry — Cast and formed to the exact profile required to engage the engine starter mechanism without slipping or excessive wear on the drive socket.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material specification, delivering the same durability and torque resistance as the part your machine was built with.
- Broad DPU Series Fitment — Confirmed for DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 4545H, DPU 5545H, and DPU 6055 reversible vibratory plate compactors across multiple production variants.
- Restores Manual Start Capability — A worn or damaged starting crank can leave a diesel-powered plate compactor unable to start in the field; replacing it with 5000104081 restores full manual starting function.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Installs in place of the original without modification, using the same mounting interface as the factory part.
The starting crank is the manual engagement tool used to turn over the engine during the starting sequence on diesel-powered reversible vibratory plate compactors. It transmits the operator's input torque directly to the engine's crankshaft or starter drive, allowing the engine to reach ignition speed. A cracked, bent, or worn starting crank reduces the force that can be applied safely and reliably, and in a worst case can disengage unexpectedly during use — leaving the machine unable to start and the operator without a safe manual starting option.
