For a 3/4" spindle diameter you'll need a hub that uses the # LM11949 bearing but unfortunately we don't carry any that use that bearing so for your application I recommend replacing your axle to something more common so it's easier to find standard parts that require maintenance, like you're seeing with the hubs and bearings.

If you can let me know your hub face and spring center measurements (see attached) I can see if we have any standard axles that work as a replacement, otherwise I recommend checking out the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 4 on 4 - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # A20RS440.

I like the Timbren kits because they have the suspension integrated into them and they work independently for better performance and ride quality. Attached is an installation video for you to check out.
