Wacker Neuson 5000220473 Mounting Starting Crank Kit

The Wacker Neuson Mounting Starting Crank Kit is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This kit includes the hardware needed to correctly mount the starting crank assembly on DPU6555 variants, ensuring the engine can be started and engaged as intended by the original design. Wacker Neuson genuine OEM parts are manufactured to the same specifications as the components installed on the production line, so the fits and functions without guesswork. Confirmed fitment spans a wide range of DPU6555 configurations, including the DPU6555He, DPU6555Heh, DPU6555Hec, DPU6555Hesh, DPU6555Hecsh, DPU6555Hecs, DPU6555Heap, and their US-market counterparts.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Engineered to the same tolerances and material grades as the original mounting hardware, ensuring the starting crank seats and secures correctly every time.
• Complete Kit Format — Supplies all mounting components as a matched set, so you replace everything that wears together in a single service step rather than chasing individual fasteners.
• Broad DPU6555 Series Coverage — Fits the DPU6555He, DPU6555Heh, DPU6555Hec, DPU6555Hesh, DPU6555Hecsh, DPU6555Heap, DPU6555Hes, DPU6555Hecs, and corresponding US-market variants of the DPU6555 reversible plate compactor.
• Correct Starting Crank Engagement — A properly mounted starting crank transfers operator input to the engine cleanly; a loose or damaged mount causes slippage, difficult starts, or premature wear to the crank mechanism.
• Safe Cranking Operation — Secure mounting hardware is essential for operator safety during manual engine starting; a failed or missing mount can cause the crank to disengage unpredictably under load.

The starting crank mount is the structural interface between the manual starting crank handle and the engine, holding the crank mechanism in proper alignment so it engages the engine reliably when the operator initiates a start. On heavy-duty reversible plate compactors like the DPU6555 series, the mounting hardware is subject to repeated mechanical stress each time the machine is started, and worn or missing components can lead to misalignment, difficult engagement, or complete loss of manual start capability. Replacing the mounting hardware as a complete kit restores the assembly to its original specification and ensures safe, consistent engine starting across the full working life of the compactor.
