The Wacker Neuson Starting Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD7H series walk-behind tandem rollers and the DPU 4045H and DPU 5045H reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. Fitment covers multiple build variants of the RD7H and RD7He tandem rollers as well as DPU 4045H and DPU 5045H diesel reversible plates, making part number a widely applicable service part across these two machine families.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Shaft Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original dimensional and material tolerances, ensuring the shaft engages the starting mechanism with the correct fit and rotational alignment.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install in place of the original shaft without modification, maintaining correct engagement geometry within the starting assembly.
- Broad RD7H Series Coverage — Compatible with multiple RD7H and RD7He tandem roller build variants, including EU and North America configurations.
- DPU 4045H and DPU 5045H Compatibility — Also fits several DPU 4045H and DPU 5045H diesel reversible vibratory plate compactor variants, making this shaft a versatile service stock item.
- Reliable Engine Start Function — A worn or damaged starting shaft can prevent the engine from cranking or cause erratic engagement; replacing it restores consistent, positive start behavior.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Order with confidence using Wacker Neuson part number 5000105766 to confirm you are receiving the correct component for your machine.
The starting shaft is a core mechanical link within the engine's recoil or manual starting system, transferring the force applied during the start sequence into the engine's crankshaft to initiate rotation. On diesel reversible plate compactors and tandem rollers, this shaft must withstand repeated mechanical loading every time the machine is started. When the shaft wears, cracks, or fails, the engine will not crank properly — leaving the machine unable to start and halting work until the part is replaced. Keeping a serviceable starting shaft in place ensures the operator can bring the machine to life reliably, shift after shift.
