So years ago, late 80's, I was told this is an 075, but after googling i can tell its an 076, (because of the side fill bar oil reservoir? ) then i noticed there is an 076 Super, difference being the air intake is raised, to me mine looks raised. Can a Stihl expert verify this for me, i need a few parts, in particulal a chain brake spring. Thanks!
Stihl 076 or 076 Super?

I know very little about this generation of saws, but the 076 IPL only shows one brake tension spring regardless of model variant: 0000 997 6004
Edit: that's the same spring used on the 075 as well.

Also from the IPL, the air filter cover on the basic 076 has a part number ending in 0504, while the Super's ends in 0505. If you can find one of those numbers on the casting somewhere, that would be a strong indicator. There are also differences in the lengths of the studs securing the carb and air cleaner covers, but those are harder to measure without disassembly.

You're welcome. According to the IPL I have, that filter cover was only used on the 076S and 076SR. In both cases I'm taking the "S" to mean "Super." I don't know what the "R" stands for.
