The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson equipment, including VP and WP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, PT series trash pumps, CT36-6 concrete trowels, GP and PG3 portable generators and dewatering pumps, BFS series floor saws, and BPU reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced assembly, part number is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. This connecting rod complete is a critical engine component, and using the correct OEM part helps maintain proper power delivery and engine longevity across all compatible models. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure an accurate match from the extensive fitment list.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engine Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact bore, journal, and bearing-clearance specifications for the Honda GX series and equivalent small engines used across these Wacker Neuson platforms.
- Drop-In Assembly — Supplied as a complete connecting rod assembly with cap and hardware, so installation is straightforward with no need to source sub-components separately.
- Broad Cross-Family Fitment — Covers VP and WP vibratory plate compactors, BPU reversible plates, PT and PG3 pumps, CT36-6 trowels, BFS floor saws, and GP portable generators within the Wacker Neuson lineup.
- Sustained Power Transfer — A correctly spec'd connecting rod maintains proper compression and crankshaft-to-piston geometry; a worn or damaged rod leads to loss of compression, excessive vibration, and accelerated engine wear.
- Verified Part Number — Order with confidence using Wacker Neuson part number 5000156465 to match the original component and avoid fitment errors across this wide equipment range.
The connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft inside a small gasoline engine. It converts the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational force that drives the crankshaft and, ultimately, powers the machine — whether that is vibrating a compactor plate, turning a pump impeller, driving a saw blade, or spinning a generator rotor. When a connecting rod is worn, bent, or has damaged bearing surfaces, it causes knocking, loss of compression, and — if left unaddressed — catastrophic engine failure. Replacing it with the correct OEM assembly restores proper engine geometry and protects the entire powertrain.
