Stihl 075's

[paragonbuilder]

Not for a flip. A good running well used 084 goes for 500 here. My uncle picked one up last year for that and it was clean. Maybe your area is different but a nice 075 doesn't go for more than 400 with a big bar here as far as I've seen. My fellow PA junkies may have different insight.

Wow! Ok I wasn't trying to sell them for someone to flip. I was going to go through them first. But damn! For a 113cc Saw under $500, I may just reinforce that shelf...
Mike I need some help here... lol

I'd imagine on eflate you could get the $500 from someone. But I personally don't like selling in there

I've seen several sell for $350 or less in perfect running shape. The oil and fuel caps aren't good for fueling on a mill so they kind of get passed over for that. Plus they'll anchor a 70' yacht in a 40 mph breeze

Dan, Prices can be all over the place for those. One day everyone hates them
and the next they are mans best friend. I kinda like em but I have had some
I hated. Have a few that run really nice and had a few I got rid of. The last
I sold was a clean saw with a new oem piston, gaskets and seals and sold for
less than 500. Biggest problem is vibration. Some are relatively smooth and
some that you will have to glue your teeth in. If you got one of those it will
have more striped out screw holes than you can imagine.
If these two saws have been sitting for some time then they will need something.
Carb kit, filter, etc. I'd say a good all around figure would be in the 350 range.
One with long bar a bit more.

I will make sure they are sound, then hopefully sell them to some of you fine folks for my good friend.
What is a fair price for these 075's as long as they are in good working order?

When Phil passed away, his dad sold off 90% of his saws on eBay.
I believe he got $600 for the 076 with 42" bar shipped

I'm a little nervous to sell on the bay... but maybe that the way to go.

Keep in mind ebay and paypal take 13% off the selling price. And then you
have to worry about getting good feedback. Hoping the buyer likes the saw
or isn't out to scam you. Seen where buyers swap parts then file a dispute
with ebay. You loose and have to take the saw back. I hate selling on ebay
but sometimes it's the only way.

That's what I'm worried about Lee. I think I'd rather sell to guys here or in person.

Check the pistons, clean em up some and put in the trading post. Ya never know.
They really are nice saws and from what I've heard great milling saws. If i didn't
already have two 076 supers and standard 076 and one 075 i'd be after one.

Not sure if you have ever run an 075, but all stock and original condition they are not an impressive saw. Alot has to do with restrictions the saw has. I'm guessing most 075s came stock with .404. Throw a rim sprocket on them, 3/8 pitch. 063, 8 or 9 pin, make sure to bypass the restricted carb, and these saws are bad ass. I *s-wordt you not my old 075 out cut my 2101XP 2 to 1. Ask @Drptrch about that 075. Not taking anything away from the 2101, but my 075 cut circles around it. There is a guy on eBay, goes by Lee, not Harvey, and he takes ONLY 075s and 076s, tears em down, new gaskets and all that *s-wordt, paints em up nice and sells them sumbitches for usually 1K bucks and sometimes more. He writes a mile long description about what he does to them, and he gets into some fine details. Every one of em he builds has had the carb tricked, and they run about 2k more on the RPMs. Man I poached a *s-wordt ton of fire wood back up in Oregon, they were all dead snags just rotting on the ground, and let me tell you what, that 075 was a woodpoachinsumbitch. Guys I new always ask me why I run them big ass saws? Cause when you're poaching and don't want to get caught you gotta get the job done fast, and that 075 never failed. Now I wasn't cutting that small stuff yude use a 16 inch bar on, this *s-wordt was 28+ inches. I run a few big saws up there and my old 797 was the king of em all. But that 075 was all around one hell of a saw. Lee's right though, they might have a few stripped bolt holes and if you don't have them all snugged up good that saw will vibrate to pieces. I went thru mine completely and when I was done and they were all replaced and snug, that saw didn't vibrate anymore than my 2101, and if someone else tells you any different, then they are a pusy that shouldn't be allowed to run the damn thing. Just mi 2 cents. I think you're sitting on some damn fine saws man.

Don't mind me I was just passing thru. Got out of rebuilding chainsaws and got into BMX racing here in Roseville with my 2 oldest boys. Having a good time down at Oak Creek BMX. Been building BMX bikes and I don't know what's more expensive, them damn saws or these bikes! Either way we are having a blast. My birthday is tomorrow, 41, old man, I know I'm gonna catch *s-wordt for that comment but gobdam where does the time go? Only 41 but I feel like I already got one foot in the grave. I'll tell you what though, my next life I'm buy up every damn SP125 and 797!!! @how57, wheres that time machine man?!!! Hope everyone had a good 4th and is enjoying their summer.

Also a good muffler mod made it run alot better. My muffler mod was cutting the muffler off at the end of the exhaust pipe. The baffles got all rusted up and pieces were falling out the muffler. When you shook it you could here more pieces in there rattling around and I couldn't get em out. Didn't want a piece getting back into the cylinder and messing something up so I cut it off. It was loud, very loud, but there was a big improvement in performance. Maybe just a basic muffler mod would be best.

It's funny. Uncle Lee and I just had a conversation the other night about an 075 that a guy has locally. Price, condition, ect. (41! Old Uncle Lee's spent that much time on the toilet.)

GLWS Dan. I'm curious to see how it goes. Maybe I can use your sale as a baseline for this local saw.

That's about the only older saw saw I've come across in the past month or so.
I did send this 895 to Austriala in early May.

For milling or horsing around they kick ass, but heavy and not much fun to carry from tree to tree
low end torque, hard (damn near impossible) to bog down when running right
they can be built right and be an awesome saw and collectible but they have a steep learning curve especially regarding which of the 16 different oil pump setups will work with your case (not kidding)
Brennain over on Arboristsite (@Rockfarmer) does a great job rebuilding them and selling on eBay as does Lee Witten (seller lee110852) on eBay.
They do quality rebuilds and get top dollar. In addition to the 13% in ebay/paypal fees you also have shipping with insurance to think about on one of these tanks.
I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
As to value a good, clean runner complete should fetch $400-550 with a small amount of patience.
A nice cleaned well presented example that has been gone through should bring $600+ easily.

Recent eBay sales show a non runner at $200.00, runners at $600.00, nice examples at $1100.00 to $1200.00.

broken muffler cover -$70.00 (cost of a new one, still available)
rattle muffler or replaced small 050/051/075 muffler -$50.00 they are usable but alot of work to clean out the rattler and tighter throat on older muffler is alot more restrictive and undesirable.
solid lower full wrap av mount (metal part) +$50.00 i have paid $40 for one that is worn to a nub from running on the ground this is a rare piece in good condition
non working oiler -$100.00 you will have more than that in anguish fixing it trust me

Uses a unique decomp valve or plug found only on these models and 084, pretty expensive, the intake manifold is a hard bakelite type material that gets stress cracks from vibration so check carefully if you have tuning issues.
Rubber AVs and fuel line and full wrap handle are all available in great quality aftermarket (handle does not have bottom mount or any kind of cover) - I use Bryce on eBay.
Nice crankshafts, aftermarket are stronger and a little heavier than OEM and better for milling reportedly. Carbs can have the limiting defeated easily and unlimited electronic ignitions are cheap and easy to do as well.

@Chainsaw Jim made a nice race carb for me that helped wake up my short bar 076 super hi-rise as well.

If you just want a prize or maybe milling they are well made, on the other hand, I found them to be underpowered, overweight and fragile, along with being expensive to operate.
