The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:

The 1998 Bomag Model BW141 AD-2 Tandem Vibratory Roller is a specialized, high-efficiency heavy compaction machine engineered primarily for roadway paving and asphalt layer density consolidation. Manufactured during the hallmark 1995–2003 production era of Bomag’s classic series, this machine represents industrial reliability before the advent of complex computerized exhaust systems.
 
Vibratory & Compaction System
The “AD” designation stands for Asphalt Double-Drum, meaning both the front and rear steel drums are equipped with sub-surface rotating eccentric shafts. 
  • Drum Configuration: Feature a 58 ¾” front drum and a slightly oversized 59″ rear drum to achieve optimal coverage and eliminate tracking marks. 
  • Dynamic Control: It utilizes a dual-amplitude, dual-frequency system (typically operational between 40 Hz and 60 Hz). This allows operators to run high frequency/low amplitude for thin asphalt wearing courses, or low frequency/high amplitude for deep binder lifts. 
  • Automation: Features individual drum vibration selection (front only, rear only, or both) and an automatic vibration shut-off that triggers when travel levers return to neutral, preventing the roller from digging divots into hot asphalt.
  • Water Sprinkler System: Equipped with a high-capacity pressure sprinkler system running dual water pumps. Gravity-fed and pressurized spray bars blast the drum faces continuously to prevent asphalt material from bonding to the cold steel. 
Engine: Deutz BF4L-1011 F
Your machine is fitted with a Deutz Engine (Serial #00207809), widely celebrated for its low maintenance and unique thermal management system. 
  • Aspiration & Power: The “BF” prefix signifies a turbocharged, 4-cylinder inline diesel design. It produces 74 horsepower (56 kW) at its rated operating range.
  • Integrated Air/Oil Cooling: Unlike standard engines with traditional water radiators, this Deutz engine relies on an integrated oil-cooling system where the engine oil serves dual-duty as the internal coolant. This eliminates the radiator, water pump, and coolant hoses—severely reducing the risks of cold-weather freezing or jobsite overheating.
  • Maintenance Advantage: It provides high torque at lower RPMs and is built to withstand high-sulfur diesel fuel without degrading. 
Hydrostatic Transmission & Powertrain
  • Steering & Maneuverability: It utilizes an articulated-frame center joint which allows the rear drum to track precisely behind the front drum.
  • Drive System: Hydrostatic drive provides infinitely variable speed adjustments via a single operator travel lever. Both the front and rear drums are independently driven by high-torque hydraulic motors rather than a mechanical axle, ensuring massive traction even on steep inclines or soft base materials.
  • Crab Walk Feature: Features a functional crab steering mode, allowing the rear frame to offset laterally by several inches. This broadens the overall compaction width and protects the machine when rolling flush against curbs or walls. 
Weight Specifications & Physical Capabilities
  • Operating Weight (6,450 KG / 14,220 lbs): This represents the machine working with standard fluids and a full water tank.
  • Max Operating Weight (8,100 KG / 17,857 lbs): The threshold the frame can handle if additional ballasts or heavy optional attachments (like edge cutters or heavy ROPS enclosures) are installed.
  • Static Linear Load: Delivers robust static pressure to the ground surface, assuring immediate compaction before the vibratory system is even engaged.
Operator Station & Functional Layout
  • Swivel Operator Seat: The operator’s command module features a sliding and swiveling seat integrated with the steering wheel and drive lever. This allows the operator to slide completely to the left or right edge of the machine to maintain a perfect line-of-sight on the drum edges
  • On-Board Diagnostics: Analogue monitoring dials track critical machine metrics: engine oil temperature, system voltage, hydraulic pressure thresholds, and an engine tachometer.
