The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for DS70 and DS720 diesel vibratory rammers, VPY and VP2050Y series vibratory plates, and select PT series trash pumps. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances required to maintain proper valve train operation across compatible machines. Fitment covers a broad range of DS70 and DS720 rammer configurations including 280mm and 330mm shoe variants, as well as VPY1740, VPY1750, and VP2050Y vibratory plates. Verify your model and machine number before ordering to confirm this is the correct tappet for your application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Train Tolerance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact lift and clearance specifications, ensuring consistent contact between the camshaft lobe and valve stem without premature wear.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to seat identically to the original, fitting directly into the tappet bore with no machining or adjustment needed during installation.
- Broad Fitment Across DS and VP Families — Compatible with DS70 and DS720 diesel rammers (280mm and 330mm shoe variants) and VPY1740, VPY1750, and VP2050Y vibratory plates, as well as select PT2Y and PT3Y trash pumps.
- Protects Engine Valve Operation — A worn or improperly seated tappet causes uneven valve timing, loss of compression, and rough running; a correctly functioning tappet keeps the engine delivering consistent power stroke after stroke.
- OEM Part Number Verified — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson as part number 5000119744, so you can order with confidence that you are receiving the correct component for your machine.
A tappet — also called a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft and the valve stem inside the engine's valve train. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet transfers that motion to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment in each combustion cycle. When a tappet wears down, develops pitting, or loses its correct profile, valve timing becomes erratic, causing hard starting, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and — if left unaddressed — accelerated wear to the camshaft lobes and valve stems themselves. Replacing the tappet at the first sign of valve train noise or performance drop is one of the most cost-effective ways to restore full engine output and extend the service life of the engine assembly.
