WANTED ms261 case/crank

[cus_deluxe]

a guy i know has an older (2013) 261 standard carb saw that somehow got both case halves smashed in on the front, otherwise saw is complete and in decent shape. id like to see if somebody has a mostly dead or smashed in other places 261 bottom end i could swap parts onto? not 100% what he wants to do but just wanted to throw it out there

Is there a difference between the first and second gen 261 cases?

I probably have a v2 case. I know the top ends and cylinder cover is different. I’ll try to figure it out if I have a v1 I can find

It's been a minute since I've seen you around, good to see you back.

Thanks. I moved about the same time I went missing around sept 2021 to a house that’s been a disaster but it’s under control now. I still haven’t unpacked my saw stuff but once I get organized it’ll beat working out of my basement.

Every 261 case I have is broken. I’ll update if I find something else
