The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Connecting Rod designed for the WP1550VW and WP1550V vibratory plate compactors, the VPG165V vibratory plate, and the PT2V centrifugal trash pump series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this connecting rod meets the exact engineering tolerances set for these machines at the factory. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs into the engine assembly without modification, restoring proper crank-to-piston geometry on affected units. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure full compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact bore diameter, journal tolerances, and weight spec, ensuring correct bearing clearance and piston alignment throughout the stroke cycle.
- Direct Engine Drop-In — Engineered to match the original rod geometry and fastener pattern, so installation follows the standard engine rebuild procedure with no custom fitting.
- Broad Cross-Family Fitment — Covers the WP1550VW and WP1550V plate compactors, the VPG165V vibratory plate, and PT2V trash pump models, making it a versatile stock item for mixed Wacker Neuson fleets.
- Restores Full Power Transfer — A correctly spec'd connecting rod maintains the crankshaft-to-piston power transfer needed for consistent compaction force output or pump flow; a worn or damaged rod causes knocking, power loss, and accelerated engine failure.
- Genuine OEM Part — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000110816, confirming authentic origin and compatibility with the machines listed.
The connecting rod is the critical link between the engine's crankshaft and piston, converting the rotating motion of the crank into the linear motion that drives the piston through its compression and power strokes. In vibratory plate compactors and centrifugal trash pumps alike, the engine must deliver consistent, high-cycle output under sustained load — placing significant stress on the rod's big-end and small-end bearings. When a connecting rod wears, bends, or fractures, it typically produces audible knocking, a sudden loss of power, or catastrophic engine seizure, making timely replacement essential to protecting the rest of the engine assembly.
