Rosco Vibrastat III, Stapac III 1997 Parts Catalog

If you are working on a Rosco Vibrastat III, Stapac III 1997 Parts Catalog job, you already know the difference between guessing a part number and pulling the right one off the shelf. This is the factory catalog — 95 pages of exploded views, part numbers, and assembly breakdowns. Not a third-party rewrite. Not a scanned mess with missing pages. OEM documentation straight from LeeBoy. I have seen too many techs order the wrong brake assembly because they used a generic cross-reference. Do not be that guy.

This catalog covers both the Vibrastat III and the Stapac III asphalt rollers. It was revised 7/31/97 and effective from serial number 34243 and higher. The manual part number is 37443-01. You will find sections for everything from the backup alarm to the water spray bar. And yes, the brake section is in there — Brake ASSY and BRAKE PADS are listed under section B. Page numbers? I am not going to hand-hold you through the index. Open the PDF and use the bookmarks.

Brake Assembly Parts: What You Need to Know

Brake parts for these rollers are not off-the-shelf. The catalog lists the exact Brake ASSY, the disc (DELUXE), and the emergency brake handle anchor. If you need pads, they are listed as BRAKE PADS. The DRUM/YOKE ASSY, FRONT and DRUM, REAR for Deluxe III are also detailed. Do not substitute using a generic caliper from a car. Use the Rosco part numbers from this catalog. Your safety and the job site depend on it.

95 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

This thing is 95 pages of dense part listings. Every bolt, every cotter pin, every decal. The table of contents is alphabetical by section — A through F. You get 8 different battery options, 3 engine assemblies (Honda 13 HP, Kohler 15 HP, and a Deluxe III Kohler), plus the full hydraulic cooler and filter kit. See the COOLER,OIL and FILTER ASSY entries. For electrical, the connector types are specified: bullet, 5-way male/female, line connectors. No guessing what gauge wire fits.

Related manuals you might need: ROSCO RA-2000 Patcher Operation, Maintenance, Service Manual covers the patcher; ROSCO DELUX ROLLPAC III Asphalt Roller Manual is for the smaller roller; ROSCO HCS-F/F4 ChipSpreader Operator’s Manual 2003 handles chip spreading. All factory documentation.

Why a 1997 Parts Catalog Matters for Your Rosco Roller

Year 1997 is not random. That is when these models had the serial number cutoff for major revisions. Before serial 34243, some parts differ. The catalog explicitly states “EFFECTIVE SERIAL NO. 34243 and higher.” If you have an older machine, you need a different catalog. This one covers the later production Vibrastat III and Stapac III. Do not ignore the serial number plate location — it is described in Section I, page 1.7. Find it before ordering anything.

The catalog also includes the spraybar water system parts and drum ballast components. For static steel drum rollers, there is a separate subsection. The operating hints section in the original manual (Section VII) is not reproduced here; this is strictly a parts catalog. You need the separate operation and maintenance manual for procedures and torque specs. Automotive Industry Overview provides background on how OEM standards apply to construction equipment. But for your roller, stick to Rosco factory data.

Does This Catalog Cover the Vibrastat III and Stapac III?

Yes. The cover says “VIBRASTAT III & STAPAC III Asphalt Rollers.” The table of contents lists sections for both models interchangeably. You will find parts like the AXLE,REAR,1.25X38,DELUXE,50148 and the ANTI VIBRATION PAD used across both. Some components differ: the engine assembly is listed separately for Honda and Kohler options. The DRUM/YOKE ASSY,FRONT is a common part for Stapac III. The catalog does not distinguish model-specific pages — you match by the part description. If in doubt, call LeeBoy with your serial number and the manual part number 37443-01.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

I have seen aftermarket catalogs that renumber parts to hide their source. This is a direct scan of the original Rosco/LeeBoy manual. The PDF has the original page headers: “ROSCO, A LeeBoy Company.” The part numbers match what you will find on the machine. For example, the COCO MAT FRAME ASSY,REAR is listed under section C. Aftermarket catalogs often omit such trim items. If you are serious about restoring or maintaining these rollers, buy the factory version. You get the correct DECAL SET, including the warning decals and the Rosco logo. Safety decals matter for liability and operator safety.

FAQ

Is this a service manual with repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog. It lists part numbers, not step-by-step repair steps. You need the separate operation and maintenance manual for procedures and torque specs.

Can I use this to find brake pads for my Stapac III?

Yes. The catalog includes a BRAKE PADS listing under section B. You will also find the BRAKE ASSY and ANCHOR,EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE. Match your serial number to the effective range (34243+) to ensure compatibility.

What is the difference between the Vibrastat III and Stapac III parts?

They share many components — the engine options (Honda 13 HP, Kohler 15 HP), the hydraulic cooler, and the steering column assemblies are identical. The main difference is the roller drum configuration. The Vibrastat III uses a vibratory drum; the Stapac III is static. The DRUM/YOKE ASSY,FRONT is listed for the Stapac; the Vibrastat has its own drum assembly not explicitly shown in this catalog’s alphabetical listing. You will need to verify by section. The catalog also includes different COCO MAT groups for each model. Always cross-reference the serial number plate location (page 1.7) to avoid ordering the wrong axle or drum yoke. If your machine is below serial 34243, this catalog does not apply.

Does the catalog include hydraulic system parts?

Yes. It lists COOLER,OIL, FILTER ASSY, and various fittings like FITT,90 08MP-08HB,POLY. The hydraulic tank filler and breather are also listed. You can identify every O-ring and connector.
