Love The 075 Stihl Saw Mr Obsolete 😀❤️😀 I Worked on an 088 Magnum Stihl Today With a 48” Bar and .404 Pitch Stihl Yellow Chain It Tore Up Some Serious Wood After I Rebuilt The Carb and Fine Tuned It It’s an Early 90’s Model 😀😊😀 Some Serious Chips
less than a month ago i picked up a 051av for 150 got it running like a champ next day, tomorrow I am driving a bit of distance to pick up another 051 for 125, this one must be an older version it has raised letters so I am a happy camper if I can get that one running good, also the guy is selling a 041 farm boss for 125 told him i take both, love the older saws. Nice job on that tree dang huge
The 051's are big powerful saws and can still do a lot of work if in good condition. The earliest ones had the raised lettering on the top cover. The bad part about these saws is the lack of original parts being available. Most replacement stuff available is crappy Chinese parts. The Bosch ignition modules failed all the time and the Fairbanks Morse starters on the early ones were crapola. The ignition fix is cheap and easy, and some of the FM starter parts are available. The later saws had a better starter. A great addition to any saw collection though !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 very good information yeah this 051 i picked up today has the raised letters and the top is more redish color than my other 051 av, to tired to even give it a try as I picked up 4 saws today the 051, a 041 farm boss, a mac (i think) 1-43 it's big and lastly a dolmar 101 or something like that, but bad weather driving most of the day and almost a tank of gas round trip, I am a happy camper, I get to try to work on these saws and learn something cool. thanks for your info very helpful on the 051 early version
Nice haul on the saws. The 051 is 89cc's. If it is a real early one it might have points ignition. The 041 is 61cc's, the Mac 1-43 is 80cc if I remember correctly and the Dolmar I have no clue. Fun day of junk collecting !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 so he's a busy guy and still hasn't got all the parts for me. The top end is toast but he's got a parts saw to go with it but getting him to dig it out is like pulling teeth! He still hasn't dug out the 026 for me either as I've got a great top end for it! He will probably slow down some about mid summer I'm guessing! But he's an absolute great guy and I do know I will get this stuff lol. I'll let you know when I get that Mac as I'm really looking forward to it!!
Great old bangers those old 1111 series saws. Have several myself. Block the governor off n they rev out well. It wont kill them esp3cially the 051s. We raced them as kids on karts and were well modified so I know what they can do. We were getting in the region of 11k revs out of them in the end. The 075 looks like she is tired n could use new lungs in her. Love the videos you are doing as well
That is an interesting bit of info about using the big Stihls as kart engines. The 075 had a rough life, and it would benefit from a freshen up. The 60" bar is a bit much for it. I have a 42" bar for it, and I think that would be a better match. Most of the time it is used as a display saw at the shows, where people like to see an old school saw with the big bar. Thanks for watching and nice comment.
Both the 051 and 075 work great with a 36" bar. The 60" bar on my 075 is a bit excessive, but I have a 42" bar I will put on it at some point. All in all though, both saws did a great job of cutting up that big tree.
The tree is a fir tree. The tree was not good for lumber as there were too many knots in it, and it had been down for several years before I had access to it. There were areas in the tree that had many cracks in the wood, and would not be good for anything other than firewood, which is it's new purpose. The 051 was a perfect match for cutting up the tree for sure.
It really sad that Stihl doesn’t make parts for the older saws anymore……so many could be saved, if some decent parts were still available. Awesome you have a good running one 🪵⛓🪚👍👏🇺🇸 Rick PS: you have cool visitors 😂
For many years I had no Stihl's in my collection, but when some showed up, I was really surprised at how little parts are available. The 051 and 075 took a lot of work and time to find the parts I needed to put them in to operation. It is very satisfying to have some of these old hogs running well and earning their keep. Mr. Al Ien is an unusual visitor for sure !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 I have only tried bringing 2 small ones back…..the 028 AV Super 1985 model and just picked up an 011 AVT 1979 model. I have just about finished the 028, just trying to find decent oil/fuel caps now. It runs really well! Taking down the 011 and giving it a total cleaning and overhaul. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great saws !! Rick
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching. Don't buy the PRO LINE replacement fuel caps, as they are no good. The O ring seal failed as soon as it got some fuel on it, and the duck bill valves leaked from day one on the two that I purchased.
@@Living-The-Dream I have been looking for an 028 in descent condition at a reasonable price to go into my stable. Most of the saws 021-025 use almost the same parts, so I have been lucky there. MS 250 parts will sometimes work. The one that threw me was my 024, it it has many of the same parts as the 026/260, both of which I have. It is also a large mouth Stihl design, like the 026/260, where the 021, 023 and 025 are small mouth designs.
@@johnclarke6647 Thanks for the information John, I’ll check into seeing if I can get some of those models to CrossFit 👍 I hope you find a decent one (028S) in your hunt. Rick
How many saw's have you got Sir ?, I have a mculloch 610 and a sears roper 3.7, they both run well plus a new chinese one which probably doesn't fit the equation
I have never actually counted my saws, so I don't know the exact number. The Roper 3.7's were good little saws, my Dad used one for many years, and the 610's are my most used saws.
This tree had small rocks under the bark, which I have not encountered before, really unusual. I have run into nails and old pieces of fence on a few trees over the years, but the chain was usually just dulled slightly.
The 075 runs pretty good for sure. I would not have purchased a saw like it to be used for my firewood, but it was a gift from a friend. When I display it at the engine and tractor shows, it always get a lot of attention and comments about the 60 inch bar. At 46 1/2 pounds, it is a real hog !
Those cuts are as crooked as some of our politicians. I will bet I can tote my little 021 a lot further than you can that boat anchor.I can barely tote a 50# bag of fertilizer from the car to the front porch. I you can bet I would not like to cut with that monster. I will take my ms 360 or 440 with their 20 inch bars any day of the week and save my extra strength to walk around to the other side and cut it. Use a metal detector to scan a tree for nails or wire and cut around them,if in doubt.
I did some of the cuts crooked to avoid some of the huge knots in the tree. This tree was really tough to cut even when not cutting through the knots, so on the big end of the tree, I did the crooked cuts to make my job easier by avoiding them. I looked at the cookies where I damaged my chains to see if I could find any metal. I didn't find any. I finished up the last 5 cuts on the big end of the tree today. I debarked the trunk and I found rocks under the bark as big as 2 inches, so that is what caused my chains damage. I used my BELSAW chain grinder for the first time and it did a real excellent job of sharpening the chain, it cut like wildfire. I had done the main cuts with the 051 on the end of the tree, but only about 2/3 of the way through as I needed to roll the tree over to do the finish cuts. So I took my McCulloch Pro Mac 650 with a 24" bar and that freshly sharpened chain, and cut that tree up in nothing flat. The Mac 650's are real powerhouses, and made short work of finishing up that tree.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 I got a bar and chain on my 021, yesterday - .325 RS with an L4 Stihl 18” bar. Not sure it is oiling as much as I would like, but I have a brand new high capacity oil pump for it if I need it. I have added some kerosene to the oil tank to help clean out the oil lines. If it does not do a credible job I will put in the new pump. The idiot that owned the 021 before me might have not lined up the pump, correctly, either. I could be a dirty discharge line, too. I want lots of oil on my chains.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 I don’t have to cut a lot of pine with crystralized sap in it, anymore. Did a lot of it when we had the farm, but I try to only cut hardwood these days. That lighter wood pine will eat up a chain and coat it with resin. You really need a lot of bar oil on the bar to get through that crap.
amazingly, the 051 doesn't have a manual override oiler, but has an easily adjustable oil control lever, which I put in the max whenever I use it, usually in fir and pine wood. The 075 has a manual override, and used it a lot on that big bar when cutting. The override oilers are on almost all McCulloch's, and that is one of the reasons they are my prefered mid sized saws for cutting medium sized wood. The bars and chains last a long time as a result.
My neighbor has an 090. No isolation, hands and arms go numb. But what a saw. Thanks for sharing these old stihls.
090's were a big saw for big wood and tough old loggers to operate them !

Running an 088 would be quite an experience. It has 1 1/2 more hp than the 075, and has modern chain speed, should be a real wood eater !
Well that was a pretty big tree that you were cutting up Thank you for the video
That tree was a real challenge. I don't get trees that big very often, but I have it all cut up, split and in my wood shed.
My gosh id give my eye teeth for that bar🤤🤤😁❤❤😍😍
Big roller nose bars like this one are real scarce for sure.
Thanks for sharing this big saw. Fun to watch!
Nice to have a diverse collection.

Good old saws for sure!
They can still do the work they were intended for ! How did your 6-10 McCulloch saw adventure turn out from the saw shop?

Nice video Mr Obsolete and those old Stihl saw are some hogs. Those were some big rounds for sure....great job....👍🤙
Thanks 👍
I have a 051 and 075 both pretty good on a 36" 051 full skip 075 full chisel😅

My back aches in sympathy! 😉
Can you imagine running one of these giant old hogs day in and day out? Those old time loggers were tough !
I have homelite xl 12 very strong chainsaw. Maybe works with long sword. And Husquarna l 650
Nice video.
The XL 12's work best with a 20 inch bar. Thanks for watching.
Im hoping soon to have a mccullough S550 in my mac arsenal. A buddy is holding 1 for me.
That's a good find.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 i thought so 103cc i believe
It is 103cc !
Nice western conifer. What species was it and was it too little lumber to sell to a mill? That 051 worked great.
The tree is a fir tree. The tree was not good for lumber as there were too many knots in it, and it had been down for several years before I had access to it.

Run a metal detector over a tree if you think there might be wire, nails etc in it. That’s a lot easier than regrind in a chain or ruining it.
