To ensure that you get a hub that fits your spindle correctly you will want to use a digital caliper and measure points B, C, and D (see attached picture) of your spindle to the 3rd decimal place, for example 1.750. These measurements will help us to determine what bearings sizes and grease seal that the replacement hub needs for it to be compatible with your spindle.
From your description I can tell that you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern on your hub, but I am not quite sure which bearings you need since I am not quite sure where you measured on your hub for the bearings.
You can either let me know what measurements you find or filter through the linked selection of hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
