The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod is a genuine OEM connecting rod designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS65-4As, BS70-4As, and BS72-4As series rammers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same manufacturing tolerances and material specs as the rod installed at the factory, ensuring a proper match to the engine's crankshaft and piston assembly. It fits a broad range of BS-series 4-stroke rammers across standard, US, and CN market configurations, making it a go-to replacement for contractors running multiple units in the field. When it's time to rebuild or restore your rammer's power stroke, part number is the correct replacement to specify.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Bearing Bore and Rod Geometry — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original tolerances, ensuring the correct bearing clearance between the crankshaft journal and piston pin for smooth, efficient power transfer.
- Drop-In Engine Rebuild Fit — Engineered to align directly with the existing crankshaft and piston pin on compatible BS-series engines, requiring no machining or custom fitting during installation.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS65-4As, BS70-4As, and BS72-4As rammers in US, CN, and standard global configurations.
- Restores Full Compaction Force — A worn or damaged connecting rod leads to power loss, increased vibration, and erratic foot movement; replacing it with this OEM part restores the consistent impact energy your rammer is rated to deliver.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sold under part number 5100049247, this is an authentic OEM component — not a substitute — giving you confidence that the part is built to the same standard as the original.
The connecting rod is the critical link between the engine's rotating crankshaft and the reciprocating piston, converting rotational motion into the linear, high-impact stroke that drives the rammer's foot into the ground. In a vibratory rammer, this component operates under intense cyclic loading with every compaction stroke, making its dimensional accuracy and material strength essential to consistent machine output. When a connecting rod wears, bends, or fails, the result is typically a noticeable drop in compaction force, abnormal engine noise, or in severe cases, catastrophic internal engine damage — making timely replacement critical to keeping the machine productive.
