Have a new 881 for 1650 if interested. Or a new 880 at same price.

Fair prices on both

Not that it is any of my business but I truly hope the two of you can work a deal. That is what this site was designed for many years ago. Over the years it has lost it's focus which in NO WAY is a complaint about moderation, it is simply a comment about membership changes. I will not name anyone but in this thread you have received some excellent advice from some excellent members and I will leave it at that.. I really think a good deal is about to be formed which is GREAT

If you're looking for something reasonably affordable, I think a Stihl 075/076 makes a good milling saw. You can find one that needs TLC for $400 or so, it's 111cc, lots of torque, large fuel tank, and there are only a few difficult to find parts for them.

Scott,

I jokingly must disagree. I am looking at a 075 right now that has a ton of difficult to find parts.. A fine gentleman asked about it awhile back and I took a look. The more I looked the worse it got. I found it very difficult to find a single part on a complete saw that was actually usable.

Bill, I have a few 075's and 076's including 2 supers and mine are all strong runners. I would not
hesitate at all to use them for milling. I do agree that some parts are getting hard to find but not
as hard as other vintage saws.

Mike ( Edwad) has given you an excellent opportunity on either saw.you won’t find a deal like that at a Dealer.

Bill - I have rebuilt maybe half a dozen of these saws, and I'm about to start on another. There are a few items that you'll usually have to source used, but they're not terribly difficult to find. The unobtanium parts are the ones specific for the full wrap - there's a mount and a sealing ring. Shaun Carr machined up some mounts for me and I found a few sealing rings on eBay. OEM gasket kits are somewhat hard to find, but I recently picked up a few off eBay. Might have come from Outbushman in Australia.

There are many MANY jobs in life that I would be poor at and near the top of the list is being a comedian. I am horrible at humor but laugh a lot.

In post #25 I was attempting to make a tongue in cheek humorous post about difficult to find parts on a 075. I failed at making it humorous. I have no idea what parts are available anymore from different sources. I was trying to be funny by saying that I have an 075 that does indeed have a lot of difficult to find parts. What I was meaning was it is "difficult to find a usable part on it" I pulled it out awhile back as someone was interested. The further I took it apart the worse the damage was.....I found it difficult to find a usable part on that particular saw not 075's in general

top cover busted
recoil busted
handle brace busted
main case busted
flywheel busted
carb stack looks like it was on the Titanic
clutch froze.
Oh yeah it is locked up.

I was just trying to be funny but failed

Now this is funny.

But seriously. Lots of 075/076 guys around here.

Ahhh, now I see where you were going with this.

 

[thechainsawguy]

interested, any pictures?

 

[Kanscruzer]

Should have told me to leave the bar I send you on the 076 super , NOS chain brake, muffler cover , handle and top cover it could be yours

 

[Kanscruzer]

Or her sister Ugly Betty one of the original Fat bottom girl I own

 

[Kanscruzer]

Or her other sister ,076 super set up for milling with concrete style air filter with chain brake also I would remove chainbrakes and run el-cheapo side covers , just in case. Hard to find now days

Damn, good thing I didn't you were selling the entire saw, I just bought a ported 881.

I have a 076 super for sale,,,,, that’s how CAD starts . I’ll talk to next week when the bug sets in

 

[bowtiescottsdale]

How much for each, especially ugly Betty, that would make a great restoration project

Ugly Betty not as ugly as the name implies.she’s got new bearings, seals, put a new manual oiler while I was in there new ignition module $500.00 . I have a NOS chain brake if you that for only $150 more with purchase of saw ( hard to find)

 

[Kanscruzer]

The other Supers with brakes would be $750.00 ish. I do have the air filter housing for the one with concrete air filter on it . The big filter is nice when milling
