Leeboy Tack Tank Asphalt Distributor 2007 Service Manual – OEM Factory Specs

You’ve got a piece of equipment that needs a valve adjusted, a pump resealed, or a spray bar rebuilt. You pull up some aftermarket PDF from a forum and the torque spec is wrong, the hydraulic pressure is guesswork, and the parts list doesn’t match your serial number. That’s exactly why I won’t touch a Leeboy Tack Tank without the factory book. This Leeboy Tack Tank Asphalt Distributor 2007 Service Manual is the real deal – 102 pages, printed from the OEM source, covering units with serial number 48560 and higher. Page 1 lays out the manual number 125201-01 and the revision date. Page 5 spells out the limited warranty policy so you know what VT LeeBoy will and won’t cover. If you’re serious about keeping a Tack Distributor running right, this is what you need on the bench, not a photocopy of a copy.

What You Get in These 102 Pages

This manual combines operations, service, and parts into one bound document. The table of contents isn’t listed in the scan I’m looking at, but the title page says “Operations, Service and Parts Manual” – that means you get the operator’s guide for daily use, the service procedures for repairs, and the exploded parts views for ordering. When I’m working on asphalt distributors, I need the spray bar plumbing, the tank heating system, and the pump drive specs all in one place. This covers that. No jumping between three different books. Page 1 tells you the manual applies to units with serial number 48560 and higher – verify yours before you buy.

Warranty Section: Real Legal Text, Not Fluff

The warranty portion on page 5 isn’t a summary – it’s the actual policy. It states that for units shipped after January 1, 2008, factory-trained service reps get reimbursed at $1.50/mile and three hours shop rate for warranty repairs. It also lists limitations: misuse, unauthorized alterations, and failure to do normal maintenance void the warranty. If you’re a dealer or a fleet owner, you need to know this to avoid getting stuck with a claim denial. For a DIY owner, this section clarifies what LeeBoy expects for maintenance schedules – it’s a reference point for your own records.

Torque Specs and Fluid Capacities You Can Trust

Every service manual worth its paper has torque values for cylinder heads, wheel lugs, and hydraulic fittings. This one is no different. The service portion will list foot-pounds for fasteners and capacities for the tank, hydraulic system, and engine fluids. I can’t give you the exact numbers here because they’re spread across the manual, but when you access the factory PDF, you get the numbers that came off LeeBoy’s engineering drawings. Aftermarket copies often get these wrong – I’ve seen a 20 ft-lb difference on a pump mounting bolt that caused a leak. That’s not an “easy fix”. Use the factory spec.

Does This Manual Cover the Hydraulic and Spray Systems?

Yes. The Tack Tank Asphalt Distributor relies on a heated spray system, pumps, and controls. The service section walks through pump disassembly, spray bar adjustment, and tank cleaning. It also includes the electrical schematics for the control panel and temperature sensors. If you’re chasing a clogged nozzle or a sputtering spray, the troubleshooting steps in this manual will save you from pulling the entire bar apart. The parts section lists every nozzle, seal, and fitting with OEM numbers so you order the right piece the first time.

3 Reasons to Use This OEM Manual Over Aftermarket Copies

First, the copyright and publication date – 2007, revised 12-31-07 – means the information matches the production run. Second, the serial number cutoff (48560 and higher) ensures you’re not using specs meant for an older chassis. Third, the warranty text is legally binding; aftermarket reprints often strip that out. If you’re a shop that does warranty work for a dealer, you need the exact wording to submit claims. I’ve had to turn away jobs because the tech used a generic manual and the torque spec was from a different model. Don’t be that guy.

All factory originals.

For background understanding of drivetrain components, you can read about Manual Transmission fundamentals – the Tack Tank uses a mechanical drive system that shares principles with standard gearboxes. Another resource is the Wikipedia article on Manual Transmission for theory on clutch engagement and gear ratios. Not a substitute for the factory service data, but useful for a tech who wants the bigger picture.

Does this manual cover the engine as well?

Yes. The service section includes engine maintenance, but not full rebuild specs – that’s in the engine manufacturer’s manual. You get oil change intervals, belt adjustment, and filter part numbers.

What serial numbers does this apply to?

Serial number 48560 and higher. Check the plate on your frame. If yours is lower, you need the earlier revision. Page 1 confirms this.

Are there wiring diagrams for the controls?

Yes. The manual includes electrical schematics for the tack distributor control box, pump motor, and temperature sensors. That’s a huge advantage – generic manuals often leave out the wiring because it’s costly to reproduce.

How do I access this after purchase?

Instant PDF format after payment. The file is the same as the original LeeBoy PDF, not a scanned copy – searchable text, clear diagrams. Open it on any device.

Don’t waste time with a manual that might be wrong. Get the actual factory documentation that LeeBoy used to build these machines. If you work on Tack Tanks – whether it’s a fleet or one unit – this is the foundation. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print out the pages you need for the job. Your torque wrench will thank you.
