075 av chain brake question

[Murph_____]

Has anyone fitted a chain brake to an 075 av? or is anyone selling one? 

 

I have trawled the internet and whilst there are a couple of threads about people doing it with 075 and 076's they're pretty old and I can't find any of the part numbers they spoke of. 

 

I've had some luck with finding some of the relevant parts on ebay.de but does anyone know where I can get a list of what I need? 

 

thanks, Alex

The 051,075 and 076 are all the same saw with tiny differences.
051 90cc
075/76 111cc
You should be able to interchange nearly all the parts.
There are IPLs on tinter web.
Are you cross cutting/felling with it?
As these older machines do tend to undo their nuts when running.
(And clutch)

Or even easier...
Phone stihl GB,
Ask to speak to the technical department.
Explain your situation and ask if they’ve got the correct parts?
They have tons of old stock for old saws.

cheers for that mate. I'll have another gander and give Stihl a ring once I've worked out the parts I need. 

 

I bought it as a project saw and to have a go at milling with, but also cut up the odd large bit of wood. Hence the desire for a brake.

 

I've nowhere near the amount of experience require to fell a tree big enough to need it! 

 

It's the first older saw I've owned, any other advice for it? 

 

thanks, Alex

Sell it.
Get a new saw.
Miles better.

I’m after a clutch and clutch nut for a 076av ,if anyone knows of where I could get these parts, came loose while milling and the nut is long lost in a pile of shavings.
Really good saw , with a big bar on kickback is a very rare thing, but obviously a chain break is built in safety .
Nip every nut and bolt up regularly as said above they do loosen, I’ve used mine for many years and milled massive sections with zero issues other than the clutch .

If your local dealer hasn’t got one,
Phone stihl GB technical department.
They have access to back stock.
They won’t be cheap though!!!

You could always check flea bay from time to time.  As it seems that part fits a few models 😉
