Cessna 188 Series AGwagon AGtruck AGhusky Illustrated Parts Catalog 1976-1984

Description

The Cessna 188 Series AGwagon AGtruck AGhusky Illustrated Parts Catalog 1976-1984 is the illustrated parts breakdown for the 188 Series agricultural aircraft, covering the A188 and A188B AGwagon and AGtruck and the turbocharged T188C AGhusky from the 1976 model year through 1984. It supersedes and replaces all 188 Series parts catalogs dated 1 October 1975 through 23 September 1983 and incorporates Temporary Revision 1 dated 3 April 1995. Every figure is keyed to a parts list with index number, part number, description, units per assembly and usable-on code, so a part can be identified positively before it is ordered.

Read as a whole, this catalog gives an agricultural operator or shop a complete, illustration-first route to the right part. Every component is broken down to the level at which Cessna sold it — assemblies, sub-assemblies, attaching hardware, bulk items — and each line carries the part number, the quantity used per figure and the serial blocks the part applies to. Where a later design part is fully interchangeable with the part it replaces, the catalog notes it with a “when exhausted use” reference, and where a part is not procurable the entries are marked accordingly. Bulk items such as flexible air hose, rubber moldings, windshield sealing strip and channel extrusions are listed with their cut length for one installation so the correct amount can be ordered. Standard hardware uses AN, NAS and Cessna “S” prefix numbering throughout.

Coverage and Serial Blocks

The catalog uses usable-on codes tied to serial ranges so that parts specific to one version of the 188 are not confused with parts common to all. Parts applicable to all versions of the A188 (300 HP) are noted as A188 serial; parts unique to the airframe capable of housing the small hopper (26.7 cu. ft.) and the large hopper (37.4 cu. ft.) are separated with their own usage codes; and turbocharged T188 parts are identified by serial numbers preceded and followed by the letter T. Figure 16, for example, splits the wing strut assembly across A188 serial 18802349 thru 18803856 and A188/T188 serial 18802349T & on. The cross reference table at the front ties the popular names — AGwagon, AGtruck, AGhusky — to their model numbers and serial blocks, so there is no ambiguity about which figure applies to a particular airframe.

Why the Illustrated Parts Catalog Matters

Ordering the wrong part on a working ag aircraft costs more than money — it costs spray days. Because this catalog pairs every line of the parts list with a keyed illustration, the index numbers on the drawing link directly to the correct part number, description and usage code, which is exactly how a technician confirms that a fitting, hinge, rib, spar cap or valve is the right one for the serial number on the data plate. That is especially valuable on the 188 Series, where airframe structure, hopper size, dispersal equipment and engine installation all changed across the production run. The catalog also settles interchangeability questions up front: where a later part replaces an earlier one, the listing says so, and where an indented sub-assembly shares common detail parts across left and right hand units, the differing parts are coded for the correct major assembly.
