This 452-page PDF contains Piper Aircraft Corporation’s illustrated parts catalog, P/N 761 720, revised through August 1984 (PR840806). It is suited to maintenance facilities and owners familiar with their aircraft’s serial number and installed equipment who need to identify parts for repair planning. Thirteen sections combine assembly illustrations with part numbers, quantities, application codes, and serial-number effectivity.
Model-Year and Serial-Number Coverage
The catalog identifies these aircraft ranges:
| Model year | PA-32-301 Saratoga | PA-32-301T Turbo Saratoga |
|---|---|---|
| 1980 | 32-8006001–32-8006116 | 32-8024001–32-8024062 |
| 1981 | 32-8106001–32-8106110 | 32-8124001–32-8124046 |
| 1982 | 32-8206001–32-8206050 | 32-8224001–32-8224024 |
| 1983 | 32-8306001–32-8306032 | 32-8324001–32-8324016 |
| 1984 | 32-8406001–32-8406020 | 32-8424001–32-8424002 |
| 1985 | 32-8506001 and up | 32-8524001 and up |
Individual parts also depend on installed options and modifications. Figure 68 covers the earlier flap-control configuration; Figure 68A identifies the electric-flap installation beginning at the two 1985 starting serial numbers above. Flight-control listings also cover stabilator trim, rudder trim, and the aileron/rudder interconnect.
Engine, Propeller, and Landing Gear Variants
Power plant listings distinguish the Lycoming IO-540-K1G5 in the PA-32-301 from the TIO-540-S1AD in the PA-32-301T. Hartzell two- and three-blade propellers have separate assembly breakdowns for each aircraft model, including hubs, blades, pitch-change components, and seals. Engine coverage concerns the aircraft installation; internal engine overhaul procedures require separate documentation.
The catalog differentiates Cleveland and McCauley 5-inch and 6-inch nose wheels, along with their bearings, seals, tires, and tubes. Standard and heavy-duty main wheel and brake assemblies have distinct component listings. Toe-brake master cylinders are broken down separately for Cleveland and Gar-Kenyon units.
Parts-selection notes address more than serial numbers. The nose gear strut listing flags a bearing compatibility check when ordering the outer tube assembly. Air-conditioning line fittings depend on both production effectivity and whether the specified modification kit has been installed.
Electrical Equipment, Instruments, and Avionics
Electrical coverage includes battery-box hardware, external power connections, instrument-panel components, and strobe light installations. Alternator listings distinguish Prestolite units with and without air conditioning and the Turbo model’s Ford installation. Vacuum and pitot-static system illustrations identify pumps, lines, fittings, and related hardware.
Electronics sections distinguish RCA and Norton radar installations, AutoFlite II, AutoControl IIIB, AltiMatic IIIC, Century 21/31/41, and King KAP 100/150/KFC 150 configurations. Century and King coverage is limited to associated Piper installation hardware. Other illustrated installations cover radar altimeters, encoders, antennas, static wicks, and avionics cooling.
Paint References, Repair Kits, and Catalog Limits
The two-page Standard Paint Chart lists acrylic lacquer and DuPont Imron polyurethane finishes, with manufacturer color codes and Piper ordering numbers. Primer and related finishing materials are included. The miscellaneous section identifies placards, exterior stencils, optional equipment kits, and propeller repair kits. A numerical index links part numbers to figure/index references.
This is a parts-identification catalog, not a source of troubleshooting, overhaul, or step-by-step repair procedures. Piper expressly prohibits using it for rigging or installation. “Installation” in a figure title identifies the illustrated assembly; it does not indicate an installation procedure.
Always verify that structural hardware and replacement components identified here comply with current aviation safety directives before proceeding with any aircraft installation.
