075 Stihl

Regarding running the same size ripping chains on the 075 that I run on the 660 (36 inch .050 gauge) I've been told this bar will fit on the 075 but run the .050.
Bar # 3003-000-8853, the local Stihl dealer is checking it out for me.

If thats the case and its not a large mount go at-least 41 then it will max out a 36 inch mill.

I modified my small mount 36" bar to work on my 051 and 075. I had to slot the oiler holes and open up the bar mount slot with a carbide bit and a dremel to accept the large mount studs. I know the 660 and the 075 have different size studs (12mm and 14mm diameter, if I'm not mistaken).

I talked with our local Stihl dealer who has the saw, he thinks he has that sprocket in stock. I was told by Stihl via email that bar number 3003-000-8853 will fit on the bigger studs and run the .050 3/8 chain that I run on the 660 but the Stihl dealer wants to confirm this first.

Thanks

Dealer throw my clutch out thinking like that.....lol They did replace it though.

Smokin if I could get a brand new 660 instead of the 090 would you do it?

zap

Hell No!

I told him this morning that by the end of next week he will have his answer.

zap

If the 090 if its in good shape its worth more and only goes up in coin.

A carb kit was the only thing he did to it, looks very clean. I'll drain the old plow fluid then put some new stuff in this weekend just to make sure it works.

zap

If you don't get that 090 Zap, me and SmokinJ are coming up to the Adirondacks to kick yer a$$.

Just called the shop, he has about 20 customers he is waiting on so he can't talk. I'll stop by in the morning to seal the deal, looks like the 090 will be added to the stable.

zap

Wow.... Very Nice Zap... Thats. Definitely a Fine Arsenal of Saws you have
For both firewood and Milling

The older ones rrrrrrr so damn heavy but I can't pass up the deal.

zap

Those old saws are heavier, but they will outlast any of your newer saws...you show me one of these modern saws that will still be running like a raped ape 40 years from now. lol.......

My 460 will!

That's the exception, smokinj........lol....

Mine too

Looked like I would not have time to stop in the morning so I stopped after work to tell him the old green truck with the plow was his, looks like I'll be the owner of the 090 Stihl.

I decided that the 075 av would stay original so some new ripping chain along with a bar and we will be milling with that.

zap

You know what stinks? Now you have to go and buy at LEAST a 54 to 60" bar for that 090, so when you put it on display in the garage or pull it out to scare the hell out of some unruly kids in the area, it will at least look right! I can't wait to see some pics Zappy. I'm jealous....

More coin. I never did ask what bar if any came with it but it's not a big deal.

zap

Well I would have to imagine he has a bar or two for that saw. Make sure you say "Hey, the bars and chains were part of the deal, right?". I'm guessing he already figured they are part of the deal, but make sure you ask for anything he has in relation to that saw.

I dunno Scotty, I got an 034 that's gettin' on in the years! Saw is gettin' real close to 30 years old.

Pretty sure I'll get 40 years out of my 440. . . .
