The Wacker Neuson Push Rod (Valve Lifter) is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPS and DPU series reversible and single-direction vibratory plate compactors, as well as the RS800H single drum vibratory roller. As a direct OEM replacement, part number is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring correct geometry and material grade for proper valve train operation. This part fits multiple configurations across the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, DPS3050, and DPS3060 series, as well as the RS800H. Choosing the correct push rod keeps valve timing accurate and protects the engine from premature wear.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Rod Length and Diameter — Manufactured to exact original dimensions, ensuring correct valve lift height and consistent engine timing across every supported model.
- Drop-In Valve Train Fit — Seats directly into the lifter bore and valve stem cup with no reworking of surrounding components required.
- Broad Compaction Equipment Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, DPS3050, DPS3060, and RS800H, covering both reversible and single-direction vibratory plate compactors as well as the RS800H single drum roller.
- Protects Engine Valve Train Integrity — A worn or bent push rod causes improper valve opening, leading to rough running, power loss, and accelerated camshaft and rocker arm wear; replacing it promptly restores correct operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this component carries the same material and hardness standards as the part it replaces, backed by the manufacturer's quality assurance.
The push rod, also known as a valve lifter rod, transfers motion from the camshaft lobe — via the lifter — up to the rocker arm, which then opens and closes the engine's intake and exhaust valves. In a small engine like those powering vibratory plate compactors and rollers, precise push rod length and straightness are critical: even minor bending or wear at the contact ends disrupts valve timing, reduces compression, and causes the engine to run poorly or lose power under load. A failed push rod can result in a valve staying partially open, leading to overheating and potential engine damage if the machine continues to operate.
