I've had two of them and currently have a third awaiting a full rebuild. They're torquey saws that make their peak power at a lower RPM than other modern saws (which is common for two-strokes coming out of Japan).

The 757 is a tough, torquey saw. It has a grotesque and capable air filter, and ample cooling. It will suit you well for light milling duties.

In the USA, early saws had adjustable carbs, later models did not.

I believe that the 757 is still sold new in OZ.

Does this bar fit the 757 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oregon-2...ge-24-Power-Match-Chain-Saw-Bar-/321109830880
or what bars do

The one I currently have is a standard D009 mount, but the tensionser pin is smaller, the same size as a Stihl tension pin instead of the larger Husqvarna size.
