In 2002 the MS260 replaced the (identical) model 026, which had been in production since 1988
only how the model number reads. In 2001 Stihl changed how there model numbers read. Previous to 2001 for example their models were such as: 026,044,046,064,066. Once they changed the model#'s they changed them to: MS260, MS440, MS460 etc.... Saws are still the same MS means: "Motor schlagen" or in German "Chainsaw" There IS A DIFFERENCE! the newer models that use the reversed numbers of the old Models (026 = 260 for examples) have the EPA carburators. This makes for a slightly less powerful/efficient saw.
About 260 / 365.
1965 was the first year of the 289 V8 in any Falcon. Previously it had the 260 V8.
The Stihl Ms261 is the replacement of the Stihl Ms260. The 260 has been on the market for many years and became outdated. Most important differences are the new designed so-called "2-mix" engine that is more fuel-efficient and evironmental friendly, and the better AV system on the 261. The new 261 is a bit more powerfull but due to the new av-system in which the engine is isolated from the handles also a bit heavier.
The Model T ford was not in production in 1896. In 1896 Henry Ford built his very first car the Quadricycle. which he sold for $200. The first Model T was built in 1908 and originally sold for $850 but by the 1920s was selling for $260.

The Stihl 026 Pro has a 44mm X 32 MM bore and stroke 48.7 cc 2.96 c.i. with about 3.2 h.p. The Stihl MS 260 has a 44.7mm X 32 MM bore and stroke 50.2 cc 3.06 c.i. with about 3.2 h.p. The figures I have here I found on several different internet links. Hope this answers your question. Thanks. Bryan

The mixing ratio using Stihl brand oil is 50:1 or 2.6 oz. oil per gallon of gas. Stilhl oil is recommended though a name brand oil for another air-cooled equipment brand could be substituted. Most are the same ratio.
