Hey Clinton, great question! The Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS you're referring to is designed to fit a 1.98" hub bore diameter. This is the same as the measurement pictured below for a grease cap.
Your typical 3,500 lb axle hub is going to match this measurement, but I would double check to be sure. If you have a different measurement, let me know in the comments below.
Is this for your landscape business or personal use?

With eTrailers help, we identified the correct Bearing Buddy. I followed instructions and they fit as advertised. Greased them with marine grade grease and all worked. I've not put many miles on them, but so far so good.

I put these bearing buddies on my boat with the blue marker on the inside,,,I love them with great results,,when pumping grease as soon as the blue collar moves you have enough grease without fear of blowing back seal,,good luck
