Hi, I am writing to ask you a question about italy to the model Shindaiwa 757.
3 years ago I bought one but the surprise was on the certificate of origin where it was declared a power of 2.8 kw 4.1 against the catalog.
just a question of markets and regulations?
(Start by saying that the saw has been returned to the dealer replaced it with a Jonsered 2186)

From what I can find on specs the shin is more like the husky 372 and stihl 044 440.
757 & 757c
Dry weight* 14.9 lbs. (6.8 kg)
Displacement 4.5 cu. in. (73.6 cc)
Output 5.6 hp (4.2 kW)
Fuel tank capacity 25.7 oz. (760 ml)
Oil tank capacity 11.1 oz. (330 ml)
Bar length 18 to 32 in. (45 to 80 cm)
Welcome to the site. 8)

the certificate of origin is a guarantee slip that certifies that the saw is new factory.
at a space you are given the details of that approval, and max hp and power consumption per hour at full power.
it must be said that in Italy the model 757 is no longer imported, while the model is Shindaiwa 389s which is not a trace.

Very good saw. I think Adam Artzer just picked up a NOS 757

Yup, my Dad has been running it a bunch. He loves it, great saw for $550 brand new with a 28" bar.

I just sent Adam the phone # for this used one.

Do they all come with that huge air filter cover?

Yeah it's a big "pro-flow" type filter like the aftermarket ones for Stihls.

So no low top, high top option?
How hard to get parts for?
-
Texted the guy for some good pictures. Will post when I get em

Did a quick parts search... looks like they're easy to get and fairly cheap

I've seen them with low top. I have also seen a high top kit for sale.
Shep

High top looks funky!

County where I work has one.
My opinion on using it....not great. They put a 32" bar on it with unknown chain. Chain being sharp, the saw often doesn't have the power to pull the length. One of the hardest starting saws I've ever had the misfortune of using....floods easy, and if you are lucky enough to get the dang thing to fire...you can count on it dying soon after warm up.
Given the option of having to use this saw or a hatchet, I'll pick the hatchet.

We haven't had any starting issues. Power is a touch less then a 372 but not much. Remember they are "old" technology saws meaning they don't have carb limiters or "cat" mufflers or anything. Just a basic saw so tuning plays a big part in how they operate.
-
Are they single aka dual transfers like 044 or quads like 372?

I haven't opened it up yet to look. I wanted to port it and add a couple more exhaust outlets but the ol man wants to keep it stock for while...lol
-
Are pistons available for this model? I have a 757 with a roached piston. Thing is in damn good shape aside from that. I did some google and eBay searching for a piston a while back and came up empty....
-
They're a dual transfer-port cylinder like an 044. As Adam said- when in good repair, they have a touch less power and top end than a 372 or 440, but they're a fine running saw. Like most stuff Shindaiwa- they're a tank and will take much abuse. They have a domed piston and combustion chamber and when ported, they can be turned up a bit. The carburetor is the weak spot/bottleneck on these. If a guy could put an HD-12 off of a late non X-torq 372, they'd run a lot better.
-
Great info. Thanks JJ.
The guy said the muffler bolts are tac welded to the muffler because they kept coming loose on him.
That part worries me because it may of wollygagged the cylinder muffler mount bolt holes.

Here's mine I picked last weekend, a good runner!!....... ;D
-
Nice.
Here is the one that was local $200. I just couldnt make myself pull the trigger. Least I think this is the pic I saved of it.
-
Shindaiwa and Echo saws are the most difficult to flow... Shindaiwa 757 are indestructable. The only problem they have is muffler screws get loose with time, however you can fix them with loctite or similar products.
-
Somebody trying to sell a shindaiwa 757 for $500 local. Trying to tell folks it was $1300 new :D . If you look at the ad real close that $1300 was AU OZ price. ;)
