... tossed one of those rear "wheel's" in the attic once ... those cartridge bearings at that time were supposed to be industrial standard "replaceable". unfortunately that wheel "woobled" like a three-footed horse towing (me) on a seven wheel wagon, out of the box. ... look at the milling on the inside of the drive hub, that's where the cartridge did not "fit" on ours. ... had to send it back, then .
