I have a replacement hub option for you, but unfortunately there is not a grease seal that has the 1.719" I.D. you need for your new Dexter axle, and the 2.332" O.D. needed to fit your current hubs.

Instead you will need etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649 to match you new axle, and has a grease seal that has the 1.719" I.D. you axle needs.

I included a video of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
