1980–1985 Cessna 172RG Cutlass RG / RG II Illustrated Parts Catalog (P/N P693-12-RGI-100-6/97)

This Cessna Model 172RG Series Illustrated Parts Catalog covers the 1980–1985 Cutlass RG and Cutlass RG II. The April 1, 1996 edition carries cover code P693-12-RGI-100-6/97 and incorporates Temporary Revision 1 dated February 17, 1995.

• Airframe structures: Exploded views of integral-fuel-cell wings, fuselage sections, empennage, doors, and windows, keyed to parts lists and attaching hardware.

• Landing gear and hydraulics: Nose and main gear, downlocks, hydraulic power pack, emergency hand pump, and actuators, plus Cleveland and McCauley wheel assemblies.

• Flight controls: Component breakdowns for control yokes, aileron, elevator, rudder, and trim systems, with electric flap components and cable-and-pulley listings.

• Engine and fuel systems: Lycoming O-360-F1A6 installation and accessories, propeller and spinner, fuel-system variants, oil filter, exhaust, and engine baffles.

• Electrical equipment and instruments: Equipment-location illustrations, battery and alternator components, lighting, pitot/static installations, and vacuum systems, including the electric standby pump.

• Cabin and finishes: Seat and harness assemblies, upholstery, heating and ventilation, with exterior paint codes, finish-and-trim plate details, and placard listings.

This catalog is suited to aircraft maintenance and parts personnel familiar with exploded views, assembly hierarchies, and serial-number applicability codes.

Component Identification and Organization

Alphabetical and numerical indexes connect component names and part numbers to the relevant figures. The Wing Assembly Complete - Integral Fuel Cell and Fuselage Assembly illustrations show how individual structural parts relate to their parent assemblies.

Figure-specific usable-on codes distinguish production changes. Replacement notes identify superseded parts and companion items required with certain replacements, helping you check applicability before ordering parts for a repair.

Finish-and-trim guidance explains color identification and ordering requirements for upholstered, painted, and plastic interior parts.

Scope: This publication identifies components and does not provide step-by-step diagnostic or repair procedures. Inspection, maintenance, and parts requirements for STC installations are outside its coverage.

Landing Gear and Hydraulic Assemblies

The catalog separates Cleveland and McCauley wheel and brake configurations. The McCauley brake listing specifies compatibility with C163006-0101 wheels, an important restriction when matching brake components to the installed wheel assembly.

The Hydraulic Power Pack Assembly and Emergency Hand Pump Assembly illustrations identify internal components, seals, and attaching hardware. Separate breakdowns cover the nose-gear, main-gear, and downlock actuators.

Engine, Fuel, and Accessory Coverage

The engine accessory list distinguishes magneto and harness applications at serial 172RG0853. Fuel-system illustrations separate aircraft through 172RG0890 from 172RG0891 and on, including the associated lines, selector components, and pump arrangements.

The engine section lists commonly used accessories; engine parts beyond that list require the separate Lycoming parts catalog. Propeller details are referred to the applicable McCauley manual. Autopilot, avionics communication, and navigation equipment are also covered by separate publications.

Electrical Equipment and Placards

Electrical Equipment Installation views locate the battery, contactors, external-power components, and warning equipment. The vacuum section distinguishes earlier and later installations and identifies electric standby equipment for 172RG1178 and on.

Placard illustrations reproduce pitot-heat warnings, engine-oil guidance, and oil-filter information. The polarity placard specifically warns that reversed polarity can damage electrical components.

Always verify part numbers against current FAA airworthiness directives before installation.

Examples from the Tire Listings

These tire entries are a small selection of the component-identification details in the catalog.

Nose wheel: The Cleveland nose-wheel assembly lists a 5.00 x 5 tire with a 6-ply rating.

Main wheel: The Cleveland main-wheel and brake assembly lists a 15 x 6.00-6 tire, also with a 6-ply rating. Matching tube and wheel part numbers appear alongside these entries.

PDF Navigation and Page Count

Text search and illustration detail: PDF text search and embedded bookmarks are unavailable; navigation uses the printed indexes and page numbers. Some small lettering in the operating-limit placard illustrations remains difficult to read when enlarged.

One printable 390-page PDF contains 32 pages of front matter, including the cover, and 358 pages of parts listings, illustrations, and the numerical index. All 22 blank pages are already included in that total.
