The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod is a genuine OEM connecting rod designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS70-4As, BS65-4As, and BS72-4As series rammers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same part installed at the factory — built to the exact tolerances your machine was engineered around. Fitment covers a broad range of 11-inch stroke rammer variants across both US and standard configurations, including CN-market models. If your rammer is down and you need the right part the first time, the is the correct replacement.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact bore, pin, and journal tolerances, ensuring the rod operates within the tight clearances a 4-stroke rammer engine demands.
- Drop-In Installation — Matches the original rod geometry and fastener pattern, so it installs into the engine block the same way the factory unit came out — no machining or adaptation needed.
- Broad Rammer Series Coverage — Compatible with BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS65-4As, BS70-4As, and BS72-4As rammer models, spanning US, standard, and CN configurations.
- Sustained Power Transfer — A sound connecting rod keeps the engine's power stroke translating cleanly into tamping force. A worn or cracked rod causes misfires, oil loss, and ultimately engine seizure.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Carries full OEM part number 5100049248, so you can confirm the correct part against your machine's service manual before ordering.
The connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft inside the engine. It converts the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational force that drives the crankshaft — and in a rammer, that rotational energy is what ultimately powers the tamping mechanism. Because it operates under repeated high-load cycles, a connecting rod that is bent, cracked, or worn at the pin bore will cause the engine to run roughly, lose compression, or fail entirely. Replacing a damaged connecting rod promptly with a correctly spec'd OEM part restores full engine output and prevents collateral damage to the crankshaft and cylinder wall.
