The grease hubs can be converted to oil bath by just switching the hub to an oil bath setup like the part # 8-219-9UC3 that you referenced. To verify that this will fit your spindle you'll need to pull your hub off and measure where the bearings and seal rides. If the dimensions are 1.75 inch and 1.25 inch for the bearing surface and then 2.125 inch where the seal rides then this hub will fit and work well.

If you have different dimensions here let me know and I'll see what the best option would be.
