Stihl 075, 076 Differences?

[computeruser]

What are the differences between models that I should be aware of if I decide to accumulate a couple 051/075/076 parts saws to rebuild? On paper the 075 and 076 seem nearly identical, save for bore diameter (59mm versus 58mm). Are P/C and other parts for the two pretty much interchangeable? Thanks!

parts are interchangable. 075 cyl/piston combo will fit on the 076 block and so on. i also beleive that the 075/76 cyl/piston can be made to fit the 051 block if you install the long studs. i would not advise cheating like that

Thanks, Ben. That's good to know. I have an 076 on the way, so it is nice to know that my 075 will be able to share parts with it.

There are at least two different crankcases for the 051/75, and some differnces in the oiler - like a manual oiler (in addition to the automatic oiler) on the 76 etc. There are also points and electronic versions of the 051 and 75.

The 076 used a different flywheel and a starter/gas tank assembly. The 076's tank and flywheel are the more modern ones that are used on the the ts 510 and 760. These 076 uses a starter pawl to engage the flywheel. The 075 use the friction shoe assembly. That is the only real difference between the models.
