if i hard reset my treo 750 ...that already has the upgraded WM6.1..will it erase the WM6.1 and restore it back to WM5 that it originally came with?

Oh it definitely will not erase your WM6.1 upgrade, only personal data, so rest assured WM6.1 is there to stay. The only way you would erase WM6.1 is if you flash another ROM, naturally.

I myself have hard reset many times one after the other (to test program compatibility with this Chinese ROM I'm using) and WM6.1 has returned to life again and again. There has got to be a limit as to how much your device will appreciate continuous Hard Resets in a row, though. I relate Hard Resets similar to formatting a memory card, there's always consideration for how many file deletions flash memory can take.
