Those appear to be the same bearing that comes in the hubs!!! also the bearings in most jackshaft set-up's use this same bearing.

I looked for a 3/4" bearing that was cheaper than the 20mm ones I had & I bought the hubs with bearings for $8. more than replacing my old bearings!!!

GX150- The spindle bolt probably did break due to welding as it always makes the surrounding area hardened/brittle. The fact that they lasted 3 years is pretty good with the abuse it gets.
I've been tempted to use some of my ATV hubs with disk brakes but the Spiderbox is so light they don't really need front brakes-(I really like sliding the backend around with just the rear brakes!!!) It's just hard to justify the extra work,brake lines,master cylinder & maintenance.
