Thanks for the reply yes the cam is on the flywheel boss I do know that villers made a model which was also a 16h and a copy of the j.a.p so perhaps it is so the j.a.p 16h engine was fitted to a couple of small motorcycles in the late 50s early 60s perhaps the keyway was used on these the crankshaft I am told was universal so who knows.
thank you all for your help I will update on the progress.

Thanks for the reply Andy I wonder if there has been a repair at sometime and the keyway ommited do you know off hand the key dia and if it is a steel one or alloy any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for reply the compression tool used by my photo editor could not convert mobile jpeg and sorted them as tiffs the photo app I downloaded for win 10 seemed to have been the problem I managed to do it in the end on a previous post concerning a landmaster 150 mag.
Thanks again Regards Len

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

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
