We have wheels for the 4 on 9.44 inch bolt pattern like # AM20395 but we don't carry any hubs to fit them. If you are able to pull a hub and get the bearing numbers which are printed on the face of the inner and outer bearing I may be able to help with bearing replacements. If you can't see the bearing numbers, then you can use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure your spindles in the bearing and seal locations. I'll also need the outer seal diameter to assist. I've attached a photo to help.

With your 2-5/8 inch diameter axle it is likely you have a 3,500 to 4,400 lb axle, but it definitely isn't the industry standard size, so I can't confirm the capacity.
