STBird I wish I'd found this forum a long time ago instead of just now. I shared your DC spindle dilemma. A shame those old spindles are no longer offered. Too good of a design. Very rebuildable. Very tough. Bearings and seals available at any bearing house, trailer sales, Amazon, or Ebay. I prefer Timken greasable cup and cone for under $25.00 per spindle. A great need for a site like this to help one another.
