In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the pilot hole of your hub. To do this, remove the wheel and tire and remove the grease cap from the center of the hub. Usually it is a metal cap that is just lightly hammered into place. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cap.

Clean the grease off and measure the opening. I have included a video demonstrating the Bearing Buddy.

The Bearing Buddies # BB2441 that you referenced are for hubs with a 2.441 inch hub bore.

I can't find any info on the hub you mentioned so I can't look up the normal grease cap for it.

We have threaded Bearing Buddies for oil bath style hubs. For a 2.08 inch bore you'd need the part # BB2080T-SS, for a 1.98 inch bore you'd need the part # BB1980T-SS, for 2.441 inch you'd need the part # BB2441T-SS.
