The Wacker Neuson Engine B&S 35 V-Twin CDI 50 Amp Power Steer is a genuine OEM engine assembly designed for the CRT48-35V Power Steer reversible plate compactor. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the exact unit specified for the CRT48-35V PS configuration, ensuring the engine integrates correctly with the machine's power steering and electrical system. When you need a like-for-like engine replacement, matching the OEM part number is the most reliable way to confirm you have the right unit for your machine.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Output for Power Steer Systems — Rated at 50 amps to support the CRT48-35V's power steering demands, ensuring the alternator output meets the machine's electrical load requirements.
- CDI Ignition Matched to Application — Features a Capacitor Discharge Ignition system calibrated for this V-Twin configuration, delivering consistent spark timing and smooth starts under working conditions.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Supplied as an authentic Wacker Neuson component, meaning fit, mounting points, and wiring connections align with the original installation without adaptation.
- Purpose-Built for CRT48-35V Power Steer Models — Confirmed fitment for the CRT48-35V PS series, so you can order with confidence that this engine is the specified replacement for that platform.
- Maintains Full Machine Power and Steering Function — A correctly specified engine keeps both the compaction output and the power steering circuit operating as intended; an underpowered or mismatched engine risks degraded steering response and reduced compaction performance.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As a primary power source for an electrically assisted steering system, using the OEM-rated 50-amp unit is important for maintaining correct circuit protection and avoiding overload conditions.
The engine is the primary power source for the CRT48-35V Power Steer reversible plate compactor, driving both the exciter mechanism that generates compaction force and the hydraulic or electrical system that powers the machine's assisted steering. On power steer models, the engine's alternator output is especially critical — insufficient amperage means the steering assist circuit cannot function correctly, making the machine harder to control and less productive on site. When an engine reaches the end of its service life or suffers a failure, replacing it with the correct OEM-rated unit like the Wacker Neuson 5200017841 restores the machine to its full operational specification.
