Piper PA-32-301 Saratoga / PA-32-301T Turbo Parts Catalog, 1980–1985 (P/N 761 720)

Piper Aircraft Corporation’s illustrated parts catalog, P/N 761 720, covers the 1980–1985 PA-32-301 Saratoga and PA-32-301T Turbo Saratoga. This edition is revised through August 1984 (PR840806).

PDF Search, Bookmarks, and Page Count

Text search and figure navigation: An OCR text layer supports searches across the explanatory pages, parts lists, and numerical index. Some illustration text is not searchable. The PDF has 131 embedded bookmarks for sections, figures, and the index; small figure callouts are easier to read when enlarged.

One printable English PDF contains 452 pages, including both original aerofiche-card title pages and 12 intentionally blank pages. Original aerofiche grid references remain on the pages.

Airframe, Power Plant, and Equipment Parts

The following selected catalog topics outline the main coverage. Additional examples include audio selector assemblies and rudder pedal hardware.

• Airframe: Wing Leading Edge Assembly and Wing Trailing Edge Assembly illustrations, with breakdowns of ailerons, flaps, tail surfaces, cockpit structure, and cabin, baggage, and cargo doors.

• Landing gear and brakes: Nose Gear Strut Assembly and Toe Brake Master Cylinder Assembly views identify internal components, alongside separate wheel, brake, and hand-brake listings.

• Power plant and fuel system: Model-specific cowling, baffling, engine controls, fuel lines, fuel selector components, and tank assemblies.

• Cabin equipment: Vertically adjustable front seats, the optional seventh seat, aft-facing center seats, and club seating.

• Environmental systems: Cabin Heat and Defroster System illustrations, air-conditioning component breakdowns, fresh-air ducts, and the Turbo Saratoga’s fixed oxygen installation.

• Electrical equipment and avionics: Battery-box and external-power hardware, alternator breakdowns, strobe installations, radar equipment, autopilot installation parts, and avionics cooling.

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.

Serial Effectivity and Flap-Control Changes

Thirteen sections combine assembly illustrations with part numbers, quantities, application codes, and serial-number effectivity. These references connect the illustrated component to the applicable ordering information, supporting parts selection before a repair.

Individual parts also depend on installed options and modifications. Figure 68 covers the earlier manual flap-control configuration. Figure 68A identifies electric-flap components beginning at 32-8506001 for the Saratoga and 32-8524001 for the Turbo Saratoga. 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.

Cleveland and McCauley nose-wheel breakdowns identify 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.

The nose gear strut listing flags a sleeve-bearing compatibility check when ordering the outer tube assembly. This ordering note matters when matching replacement strut components.

Air-Conditioning Parts and Modifications

Air-conditioning line fittings depend on both production effectivity and whether Refrigerant Line Fitting Replacement Kit 764 244 has been installed. The code explanations account for modified aircraft, so the original production serial number alone does not determine the correct fittings.

Electrical Equipment, Instruments, and Avionics

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 autopilot coverage is limited to associated Piper installation hardware. Other illustrated installations cover radar altimeters, encoders, antennas, and static wicks. The Radio Installation Drawings pages list drawing references rather than reproducing those separate installation documents.

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.

Selected Control-Quadrant Handle Dimensions

For both aircraft models, the engine-control listings distinguish the 2.72-inch-long quadrant adjusting handle, P/N 66773-00, from the 2.94-inch-long handle, P/N 63039-04. The accompanying application codes identify matching quadrant components. These are component-identification dimensions, not adjustment specifications.
