The Wacker Neuson Connecting Rod Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson vibratory plates, reversible plates, and single drum vibratory rollers, including the VP1550A, VP1340A, VP2050A, WP1550A, WP1540A, WP2050A, and RS600A series. As a factory-sourced part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances and material standards of the original component it replaces, ensuring a direct fit with no guesswork. This connecting rod complete covers an extensive fitment range across both standard and AW-suffix machine variants, making it a go-to replacement for fleet operators running multiple Wacker Neuson compaction units. When your machine shows signs of increased vibration, knocking, or loss of compaction force, the connecting rod is often the root cause — and getting the right part the first time keeps your crew moving.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Bearing Journal Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact crankpin fit specifications, maintaining the precise clearance needed for smooth reciprocating motion and long service intervals.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to the same dimensions and fastener pattern as the original, allowing straightforward installation without reworking the crankcase or eccentric assembly.
- Broad Compaction Equipment Fitment — Compatible with VP1550A, VP1340A, VP2050A, WP1550A, WP1540A, WP2050A, WPP and WPU series plates, the AP1550A and AP1550AW, and the RS600A single drum vibratory roller.
- Restores Full Compaction Output — A worn or failed connecting rod causes eccentric imbalance and reduced plate force; replacing it with this genuine OEM part brings compaction energy back to rated performance levels.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson OEM supply chain, so the part number 5000406679 matches your machine's parts manual exactly — no cross-referencing uncertainty.
The connecting rod complete is the critical link between the engine crankshaft and the eccentric weight assembly that generates a vibratory plate's compaction force. It converts the rotational motion of the crankshaft into the oscillating drive that causes the plate to vibrate against the ground surface. When the connecting rod wears, develops play at the big-end bearing, or fails entirely, the result is audible knocking, erratic plate movement, and a significant drop in compaction efficiency — conditions that can also accelerate wear on surrounding engine and drive components if left unaddressed.
