CAUTION: LOTS OF PIXS --> Stihl 075, 076, Sperber Mill, + "Stuff"

[ligna secare]

I started a new thread because of the volume of pictures I wanted to add here. I posted last week how I was offered some equipment after contemplating buying new stuff to make some beams. Everyone said; "Buy!" Well, a couple of days ago I bought all the "stuff" for $450. (I did buy the fellow lunch too!)

Sperber Mill (with 40" double head bar / 36" cut)

3 ripping chains (one worn down) and 1 crosscut chain

Just found another crosscut blade!

Box with wedges, brush, extra air filters, pawls, and brakes.

Granberg sharpener with extra: "diamond sharpeners"

Metal box full of pawls, extra parts, and tools

Original manuals

Original Sperber Mill brochures and manuals (Sorry for blur)

Some old literature on cutting, milling, and seasoning lumber

That's it! Thanks for everyone's earlier input (opinions) on if I should buy or not.

That 076 is a thing of Beauty. Worthy of a restoration and shelf queen status.

Very interesting mill setup. I wonder if the guys on the milling forum have seen this thread?

Seems you can use 1 or 2 power heads. With a 075 and 076 that would 222cc of power!

I'd like to see it in action. Please post if you mill some logs up.

This thread makes my insides hurt. You suck!

That's a fantastic buy. The saws look amazingly clean.

Congrats

One of the two powerheads alone is worth what you paid!
The 075 is a very late one (side oil filler, chain brake attachment, etc.) and thus virtually identical to the 076...
Both are in VERRRRRRY NICE condition - you won't find two like that again in the near future.

Congrats!

Outstanding.

The suckage is strong with this one...

I logged in just to throw a "you suck" at you. Heck of a deal. Congratulations!

THANKS everyone! I need to read some manuals before starting these up. I hope there is some info on running two heads as it makes me a bit nervous at this point. Much to learn - BUT - I know where to turn if I have any questions.

If you plan on milling with these two beautiful saws there a two things to keep in mind,
One is to run the saws on the rich side "carb wise" and as far as fuel mix, No leaner
than 32-1. Milling is about the hardest task you can ask out of a chainsaw. Take care
of them and they will serve you well.

Running two powerheads can be tricky. If one engine is running somewhat leaner (or the operator does not pull the trigger fully) there is a risk of piston seizure...
You don't really need two powerheads, though. A single 076/075 should be ample for most applications.

Very nice score. I recently picked up an 076 and 051 plus a box of 404 Carlton chain and I thought I got a decent deal. I didn't get extra tools and manuals and odds n ends and a mill, but I did get a nice pair of bars and 1 loop of 404 chain with each. My one bar was a 42 inch and the other a 50 inch. Now I am in the process of cleaning up these saws and will be ordering replacement engine parts and other items my saws need due to their history of use and misuse.
