The Wacker Neuson Lever Choke is a genuine OEM component designed for CRT48-25K and CRT36 series ride-on concrete trowels. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original lever choke installed at the factory. Confirmed fitment spans the CRT48-25K-L, CRT48-25K-H, CRT36-23K-H, and CRT36-25K-H models, covering both 48-inch and 36-inch ride-on trowel configurations. When your choke lever is worn or damaged, swapping in the correct OEM part restores reliable engine starting and cold-weather operation.
Key Features
- OEM Choke Actuation Integrity — Engineered to the original pivot geometry and detent feel, ensuring the choke plate moves fully open or closed with each lever stroke.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to bolt into the existing choke linkage bracket on CRT series trowels with no rework to surrounding hardware.
- Broad CRT Series Compatibility — Fits the CRT48-25K-L, CRT48-25K-H, CRT36-23K-H, and CRT36-25K-H ride-on concrete trowels, covering both 36-inch and 48-inch deck sizes.
- Consistent Cold-Start Performance — A correctly functioning choke lever delivers the right fuel-air mixture enrichment at startup; a worn or broken lever leads to hard starts and rough idling until the engine reaches operating temperature.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Carries the authentic Wacker Neuson part number 5000154944, so you can be confident in fitment accuracy before the part ships.
The choke lever is the operator-side control that opens and closes the carburetor choke plate, restricting airflow to enrich the fuel mixture during cold starts. On ride-on concrete trowels like the CRT series, a reliable choke mechanism is essential for getting the engine running quickly in cool or cold conditions so finishing work can begin without delay. When the lever cracks, loses its detent, or fails to hold position, the engine may flood, stall repeatedly, or refuse to start — costing valuable pour time on the slab.
