Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this crankshaft meets the same specifications as the part originally installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, dependable fit. It is confirmed compatible with the MP20 () and MP12 () Single Direction Plate models, making it a straightforward choice for anyone servicing these machines. When you need a crankshaft replacement you can trust, part delivers the confidence of genuine OEM quality.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Crankshaft Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original dimensional specifications, ensuring proper bearing journal fit, stroke geometry, and balance for smooth, consistent engine operation.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Matches the original crankshaft's dimensions and mounting interfaces exactly, allowing straightforward installation without machining or adaptation.
- Confirmed Fitment for MP20 and MP12 Series — Verified for use with the MP20 (5000630379) and MP12 (5000630380) Single Direction Plates, so you can order with confidence.
- Sustained Compaction Power — A correctly functioning crankshaft converts combustion strokes into consistent rotational output; a worn or damaged crankshaft leads to vibration, loss of compaction force, and accelerated engine wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Carrying part number 5000408473, this is an authentic Wacker Neuson component — not a copy — backed by the brand's OEM quality assurance.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of a reciprocating engine, converting the up-and-down motion of the pistons into the rotational force that drives the machine. In a Single Direction Plate compactor like the MP20 or MP12, that rotational output powers the eccentric mechanism responsible for generating compaction force — so a healthy crankshaft is fundamental to the plate performing its job effectively. When a crankshaft wears, develops cracks, or suffers journal damage, the result is typically excessive vibration, oil leaks at the seals, and eventual engine failure if left unaddressed.
