I don't think so. I know the contours are a little different between the 260 and 261, but they both use the same double dawg kit from a 341. The inside of the new covers have some nice curves to help with chip ejection. I've not tried it, but I'll bet the 441 R cover will fit on the 261.
It does fit....My 441 will be back today from mastermind and Ill put the big clutch cover on it and take a pic.
 
Sorry. I couldn't wait because it's raining here. My saws aren't even muffler modded, let alone master mined. It looks like you could run the MS 441 R C-M dawgs on the MS 261 C-M VW if you wanted to. The have the same spacing on the mounts.

Enjoy!

Do you have a PN for the dual spike kit and roller that is on the 261 in the first pic? Not the big spikes like on the 441.
 
Masterminded 261c. 3/8 es bar, rs chain. Still on first tank...:confused:

Yeah, I haven't been able to put a lot of time in with the saw yet but she has run great with what I've cut so far. I can't wait to spend a few days really working it out. Right now I am running Motomix in it, easier to find than ethanol free around here and since we have a number of saws it didn't seem like a bad investment.


Got a 6 pack of Motomix, same idea though.

Has anyone else ran their MS 261 C-M again this year? I did today, but no pics so it didn't really happen. Here's one from last week:

Did the clutch cover come with the chip deflector or did you add that on?

Ran mine last weekend (along with my 150 TCE) to take down a 28" diameter fir in the front yard. Put 3 tanks of motomix through it and it's still getting stronger! Switching to a semi-chisel chain (20") bar made bucking the spur a real treat. Love seeing the saw dust fly:bowdown:

But will that cover fit a MS260 to install the double dawg kit ?
