Default Non Cub But Need Some Help/Ideas

Ok i got a 68 TurfMaster 32 (AKA Huffy) And im trying to get it back together but ran into a problem with the bearing/bushing for the rear axle.
Its a belt/chain drve set up so it has a live axle in the rear,and what happen is the po never greased the bearing/bushing so its shot!
I cant fit a newer style bearing as its too big around and i want to try and keep this stock looking. The retainer for the bearing/bushing is spot welded together so i drilled the welds and can hopefully find something to replace it.
Heres some pics of it

Turfmaster was made by Huffy. Huffy was in business from 1950 to 1975. Your best bet is to go here..... HUFFY

So, the center piece that looks like a ball-and-socket... Was it locked to the shaft and turned in the housing? Or did the axle turn inside of it? What material is it made of? From the pics I can't tell if its something similar to Nylatron, or if it was cast..... Could you make a new carrier assembly and just use a flange style bearing?

The axle turns inside and im unsure of what type of metal it is it looks to be regular steel/cast, im trying to brainstorm how to put a pillow block in place of it.

Look at the stamped housing type. Maybe you can use your housing with the bearing from one of these. Other thought is the ball that goes in the links for a 3 point hitch.

I'm also working on an old MTD with similar bearings on the rear axle. My question for you is how to grease them anyway? I don't see zerk fittings on them. Thanks, Mark

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
