Answer
Depending on your count, seventy-five are the tractates of the Mishna (63) plus the minor tractates:
- Avos D'Rabi Nasan (counting as separate from Avos)
- Sofrim
- Semachos
- Kallah, Kallah Rabsi (counting as one)
- Derech Eretz Rabba and Zuta, the latter including Perek HaShalom
- Sefer Torah
- Mezuzah
- Tefillin
- Tzitzis
- Avadaim
- Geirim
- Kusim
Seventy-five was Avraham's age (then "Avram") when he left for Israel. Though this was not the first move in his life; it appears his father had initiated a move and hadn't completed it.
להם ("to them") has Gematria 75, and it appears more often in Tanach than all other 75-words combined.
Every book of Tanach (counting the Twelve individually) contains at least one 75-word, except for Nachum.
