The Wacker Neuson Starter Reel is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1035R and VP1135RW Value Vibratory Plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original unit installed at the factory. It is confirmed to fit the VP1035R (10 kN, 356mm/14in) and VP1135RW (11 kN, 356mm/14in) single-direction vibratory plate compactors, making it a straightforward like-for-like replacement when your recoil starting system needs attention.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Recoil Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original pull-cord tension and ratchet engagement specifications, ensuring consistent, reliable starting effort every time.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting points and housing dimensions on the VP1035R and VP1135RW, so installation follows the same procedure as the unit being replaced.
- Confirmed VP-Series Fitment — Compatible with both the VP1035R Value Vibratory Plate (10 kN) and the VP1135RW Value Vibratory Plate (11 kN), covering both common variants in this compact plate compactor line.
- Restored Starting Performance — A worn or broken starter reel makes a plate compactor impossible to start manually. Replacing this assembly restores full recoil function and gets your compaction work back on schedule.
- Genuine Part Assurance — As a genuine Wacker Neuson OEM part, the 5000115761 meets the same material and dimensional standards as the original, with no risk of mismatched cord routing or ratchet geometry.
The starter reel — also known as a recoil starter assembly — is the mechanism that allows the engine to be started by hand using a pull cord. When the cord is pulled, the reel engages an internal ratchet that spins the engine crankshaft; when released, an internal spring retracts the cord back onto the spool. Over time, the recoil spring can fatigue, the cord can fray or snap, or the ratchet pawls can wear, all of which prevent the engine from cranking. Replacing the starter reel as a complete unit restores the full manual-start function of the vibratory plate compactor.
