The Wacker Neuson Bow Plate is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD18-100 and RD18-100C tandem roller series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bow plate is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original part installed on the production line, ensuring a consistent, correct fit across the full range of compatible RD18-100 models. Whether you're servicing an RD18-100, RD18-100C, RD18-100.3, or RD18-100C.3 variant, part number is the confirmed OEM replacement. Genuine Wacker Neuson parts deliver the dimensional accuracy and material quality that aftermarket alternatives can't always match, keeping your roller performing as intended.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Steel Forming: — Manufactured to the original material and dimensional specification, so the bow plate maintains the correct structural profile and load path within the drum assembly.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting points and contour of the RD18-100 series drum frame, allowing straightforward swap-out during scheduled maintenance or repair without rework.
- Broad RD18-100 Series Coverage: — Confirmed fitment across RD18-100, RD18-100C, RD18-100 US, RD18-100C US, RD18-100 SE, RD18-100.3, and RD18-100C.3 model variants.
- Structural Integrity Restored: — A damaged or deformed bow plate compromises the drum's rigidity and compaction geometry; replacing it with part 5100068786 restores the roller's designed compaction performance.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain, giving you confidence that the part you're installing matches the original in every relevant dimension and grade.
The bow plate is a structural component located at the front face of the roller drum assembly. It provides rigidity to the drum frame and helps maintain the correct geometry between the drum shell and the machine's chassis — critical for even compaction force distribution across the full drum width. When a bow plate becomes bent, cracked, or corroded, it can distort the drum assembly, introduce vibration imbalance, and ultimately affect compaction quality on the surface being worked.
