Got together with a Buddy of mine today and Finally got a Chance to let my Saws Rip into some nice big Logs from a recent Storm we had up here in Washington, While they were all impressive and alot of Fun to Cut with, That Damn! 750 is a Ripper. For those of you who've never gotten a chance to use one, I highly Recommend one if you get the Chance, They're Simply Bad Ass. I looked at some of your Video's Hoss and you mentioned that they're your Favorite Saw and I can see why. Not sure how they compared to some of the other Old Big Saws like a McCulloch 125 or a New Husqvarna 3120XP, but BOY!!! it puts a Smile on my Face everytime we dipped it into another Log.

Reed valve saws have a lot of trigger spunk. Snappy to say the least. Too bad they stopped making "real" Homelites years ago. Real saws they were / are.

The 750 is on my list of saws I've yet to run. It and the 166 are at the top of the list. Need to remedy that soon.:)

Yeah and ebay sellers want a premium for them too!

I figured it up the other day and I could part mine out on eBay for around $1200 at the current prices for parts. Gives me the urge to sell some of my excess parts but I can't bring myself to do it. As soon as I did, I'd need the parts for another project.

And yes, there is something about running a 750 that is addicting.:drool::chainsawguy:

I certainly agree. A Homelite 750 is a piston port saw however. So are the 10-series McCullochs. Lots of folks don't know that.

Yep, I have had enough of them apart to assure you that there are no reeds in the 750.

Now the Homelite 2100 is a different story. Probably the best reed cage ever put on a production saw.
