Description

Piper PA-32RT-300 & PA-32RT-300T Lance II Illustrated Parts Catalog 761-640

This is the Piper Parts Catalog covering the PA-32RT-300 Lance II and the turbocharged PA-32RT-300T, published under document number 761-640. It was originally issued on October 28, 1977 and consolidated through the January 1983 revision, giving you the accumulated parts breakdown for both normally aspirated and turbocharged Lance II airframes. Every replacement part in the catalog carries a Piper part number, a figure-and-index reference tying it back to its illustration, and where applicable a serial-number range showing which aircraft the part fits.

What separates this catalog from a generic service book is the way every part is anchored. The “Figure and Index Number” column ties each listing back to a numbered callout on the matching exploded illustration, so you can look at a drawing of the stabilator, find callout 23, and read straight across to the part number, description and quantity required. Indented listings show assembly hierarchy – order the parent assembly and you receive the components listed beneath it, or order the sub-component on its own. The “No. Req.” column tells you whether the quantity is per figure or per assembly, and the “AR” symbol flags parts used as required. The “Serial Numbers Affected” column is particularly valuable on a twin-variant catalog like this one, because so many Lance II parts were changed between the 1978 and 1979 production runs, or between the normally aspirated and turbocharged airframes. Codes throughout the listings direct parts with a “W” suffix to the Lock Haven spares department and everything else to Vero Beach, so you know which supply channel a part belongs to before you place an order.

The document also carries Piper’s own ordering and identification guidance – how to trace a part from its location on the aircraft, how to read the indent structure in the nomenclature column, and what information to supply when ordering. A complete table of contents at the start of each card lets you move directly to the figure you need instead of scanning hundreds of pages.

What This Lance II Parts Catalog Lets You Do

Whether you are maintaining a 1978 PA-32RT-300, a 1979 Turbo Lance II, or any aircraft in the covered serial ranges, this catalog gives you the identification layer that repair work depends on. You can trace a worn or damaged component from its position on the airframe diagram to its correct Piper part number, confirm whether that number applies to your specific serial number, and see exactly how many are required and what it attaches to.

That matters most when parts have been superseded. The catalog’s revision history runs through January 1983, and the code explanations scattered through the figures call out the differences directly – for example, stabilator trim barrel changes by serial number break, or landing gear door hardware that differs between the PA-32RT-300 and the PA-32RT-300T. Ordering the wrong variant of a small bracket or a trim cable is an expensive mistake, and the serial-number column is what prevents it.

Because the coverage spans wings, fuselage structure, tail surfaces, landing gear, brakes, cabin interior, instruments, power plant, exhaust, baffles, cowl, propeller, fuel system, flight controls, hydraulics, environmental systems, electrical system and the full electronics/avionics group, one document handles nearly every identification question that comes up on these aircraft. Airframe shops, avionics installers, interior refurbishers and owner-maintainers all work from the same reference.
