Attached a couple of photos of the flywheel and the shaft

I was thinking I could fabricate a cap out of some tin plate, the felt washer obviously easy enough. My remaining worry is the spring washer, which I guess is in effect a thrust washer? I’ll disassemble one more time this weekend and check. I’ll also check rivits vs bolts. Could it be the late series 3 had reduced themselves to rivits rather than bolts? My machine numbered 234575, and I now can’t remember how I’ve mixed and matched the parts various as I’ve acquired finger mower, hoe, plough etc.
Back to you this weekend.
Thanks

Hi Charlie. Poor quality photos attached. The damage was caused by (I guess) a big stone getting dragged around, distorting the side of the casing and dislocating the shaft out of the bearing, breaking the tin cap and tearing the large felt washer. I’ve cleaned up the bearing and popped the start back in. But, having now looked at the manual you supplied a while ago I worry that the spring washer is gone as perhaps the is the ‘compo’ bearing (compressions? composite construction?). There’s no doubt my bearing cap is riveted in – look like v large pop rivits and that I don’t have a greese nipple (nor the hole where a snapped of one went).
The upshot is I guess I could use what I’ve got, but I’m worried I’ll just damage the end of the shaft with the remains of the bearing. If I could I’d like to get a replacement assembly that hopefully is more complete.
Is the one you photoed available at the right price?
Thanks for you help
James

Charlie, thank you. Will try get to allotment Sun and photograph. My memory is my shell is riveted in and don’t think it’s got a greese nipple. But may be remembering wrong, and anywho I’d be sure they could be interchanged. Thanks for the pics, I’ll be back to you soon as I can.
Best
James

Count us in Kev !

Hi everyone, it’s that time of year – sap is rising and I need to get allotment dug – But strangely my Series3 Monro Tiller has not mended its self over winter!
I’m after a replacement miller shaft bearing – Does anyone have a miller unit they’d be prepared to drill the bearing shell out of? Money, or beer or beer money available as appropriate. The part I’m after is the nearside bearing assembly that supports and locates the non driven end of the main miller tine shaft.
Be very glad of any help.
Thanks
James

Have found a head and exhaust on youknowwherebay, eagerly awaiting delivery. I’ll then have 2 sets to ruin, so can make a proper go of it!

[vhgmcbuddy]

just to let you know we are going for a tiller/cultivator theme but if you do not have one then something else would be just as good, thanks

[vhgmcbuddy]

That is exactly what it was, a good machine, I have seen them at shows…one day!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Useful information thank you, Some time ago I replied to an advert in the “Cultivator” for a Merry tiller truck from a chap who was selling up and moving from Warwickshire, when I got there he showed me his Garden tractor, a german make, it had a plough, cultivator and loads of tools , He assured me that it ploughed as well as any two wheel tractor and a lot easier! He was asking £600 on that well known auction site, wish I had bought it when I had the chance!

My entry will be in the post in the morning, we will be doing a joint display of Ohlsson Rice powered machinery with Darren (darmic1), including the Turbair sprayer, Tarpen mini engine and tiller, Allman wheelbarrow sprayer, hedge trimmer and generator
