Running or project saw?
Why have you chosen the 056 as the saw you want for your planned work?
That gives a wee bit more of a clear pic. HAHA @ an 076 being a bit heavy.
I ought to know about the weight of 076's, I have 2 075's and an 051.
As Per acresinternet.com website the 076 weighs
WEIGHT: |
| 11.3kg with 43cm bar & chain 24.9 lbs. with 17 in. bar & chain |
056 ( I don't see the added weight of a bar included)
WEIGHT: |
| 9.4 kg (20.7 lbs.) |
I see that you put 056mag, what about an 056 AVE or does it have to be the mag? I see the specs are 94 ccm for the Mag AVE vs 81 ccm for the 056 AVE
What kind of price are you looking to spend?
at 5:40 + mark shows how to check for needle wear
I have 2 x 056 Magnums and 2 x 076 Supers
The 056s have the OEM dual ported mufflers (ear protection is mandatory not optional) and are absolute old school muscle saws.....after using them you will have sore muscles too
They are heavy to wield but will cut through anything the Aussie bush can throw at you, i have milled with them using a 36 inch bar without any issues and buck with a 24 inch bar.
They never fail to bring a smile to my face and are probably my favourite saws, they sound amazing when revving out, no other Stihls out of the factory sound better, oddly my 009L is my second favourite sounding saw. The little reed valve makes it pop!
The 076s are a step up from the 056s. Much heavier but much more powerful too. Probably over kill for normal use but perfect for milling, especially with the manual oiler button. Only one of my 076s is running, i have some parts coming from Saegenspezi which should allow me to get it up and running again
Both these saws are probably the best and most robust that Stihl ever made. (070 and 090 included in that list) Although they don't rev as hard as the 661s or 881s they have more torque and i would take them over the new ones any day just because they are so cool
All that being said, parts are a major problem, either so expensive or impossible to find.........if you need a new muffler for either maybe its time to buy another saw because you wont find one easily. I have had to do repairs to both saws by fabricating my own parts or cannibalizing and adapting from other saws
Sorry I would never sell them but if you keep looking you will find one and once you get one I know you will love it as much as I do

So what is your ballpark price you will spend?
It is hard enough to find the old stuff and I don't want to chase my tail trying to help you find a saw when I don't have a good target to aim for.
I posted a WTB message on my Facebook page to see if any of my friends have any or know anyone wanting to sell.
Just looked up the 056 mag on Facebook to see what's out there. 1 in WV for $550 and a really nice clean one in NY FOR $700.
Farmer Steve, I didn't see the one in WVa but did find one in Philly and the NY one.

The wva was listed as a lot of saws. I didn't see the Philly one.

I got a few replies from my friends on FB.
One has one of his own, one out in Montana knows of someone selling an 056 Super. I will let @sross message here or in PM if he is interested in having me inquire about the Montana one. If that is an option for him, I am pretty sure my buddy could check out the saw personally and report back on how it looks, runs, needs anything etc.
I also have a local friend who has a buddy here in MD who is selling an MS660. He asked if sross would consider one of those instead of the 056.
I have one of these of my own I might possibly part with too if so.
