The Wacker Neuson Standard Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the BL744ch, BL744h, BL742h, BL744c, BL744 EX, and BL742 EX Backhoe Loader series. As a factory-sourced part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a direct drop-in installation with no guesswork. This tappet is the correct replacement for all listed BL700-series Backhoe Loaders, giving you confidence that the part you're installing is the one Wacker Neuson engineers specified for that engine. When you need to restore valve train performance on your machine, the is the straightforward, by-the-book choice.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Surface Hardness — Manufactured to the same hardness and material grade as the original tappet, maintaining proper contact geometry against the camshaft lobe over the long haul.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Machined to the original bore diameter and height, the 5100034114 seats correctly in the engine block without shimming or fitting adjustments.
- Broad BL700-Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the BL744ch, BL744h, BL742h, BL744c, BL744 EX, and BL742 EX Backhoe Loaders under a single part number.
- Consistent Valve Lift Every Cycle — A correctly functioning tappet transfers camshaft motion to the valve train without lash variation, supporting smooth power delivery and stable engine operation.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain, so the part number, dimensions, and material grade match what came out of the factory.
A tappet — also called a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft and the rest of the valve train, translating the rotating motion of the camshaft lobe into the up-and-down movement that opens and closes each engine valve. It needs to maintain consistent contact with the camshaft lobe across thousands of operating cycles, so surface hardness and dimensional accuracy are critical. When a tappet wears, flattens, or develops pitting, valve timing becomes erratic, leading to rough running, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and potential valve or camshaft damage if the issue is left unaddressed. Replacing a worn tappet promptly with the correct OEM part restores proper valve timing and protects the surrounding components from accelerated wear.
