I like the look of those.  

 

I agree with Don on the "trailer hub" upgrade. It's the best option, and can handle the most abuse. I don't think they come in anything smaller than 1 inch though.

 

But the wider bearings in my pic is about the best option for 3/4 axles.

Absolutely. 

I've done the changeover on another tractor. 

Works Excellent.

I literally have NO bearings in my front wheels though and can't put any in. 

I'll be getting more fluid fill soon and updating the front axle.

These bearings also can be helpful. On mine, the longevity is still up in the air, but so far so good. The only thing I don't like is that they have no seals, so an outer grease cap is most helpful. 

 

And- I don't think I'd use them if you already have significant wear in the knuckle where the factory bearing rides. 

I have done the 4 lug 1" trailer upgrades before, however, on the 18 Auto these a factory 1" and the bearings are in excellent shape. Not to get off topic, but the "bearings" have no "bearing" on the weight to ground distribution?
