according to TI 44.2015 the crankshaft remains unchanged other than the 0407 comes with the new aluminum crankcase screws as they are not to be reused. but I do believe they did something to the crankshaft....ive seen a few big end failures in the old version ms261 m-tronic.

the aluminum screws also come in a bearing kit and in the gasket kits for those saws as well.

1141 007 1000 ??

so much your not privy to when your not a dealer and your dealer is not up on all of this. you had mentioned the bearing kit earlier when i had bearings on backorder but they showed up a couple days later so i never dug into getting a kit. I sourced a 2017 price file but i guess now i need to source all the service bulletins on this stuff as well.

we see quite a fee big end failures on the 261 and 362's but the 261's have mainly been grooves worn into the crank from the clutch drum bearing and 95% of ours are standard saws not the M-tronic

the bulletin says the gasket kit is 1141 007 1009...but on partsmart it shows it only includes the crankcase gasket and screws, not the seals or the jug gasket...not sure if this is a partsmart error or if that's actually what you get, ive not ordered that newer gasket kit number before.
