Does anyone on here know what the part number is for replacing the hub or if there is a bearing rebuilt kit? I still have the original oil bath type hubs on it.
Just noticed one is starting to make a little bit of a grinding sound. Still rolls solid without any wobble and still has plenty of oil in it so I’m hoping I caught it soon enough.

Be aware before your call these guys that UFP/Dexter has discontinued the oil bath (GOLD) hubs. I'm in the process of changing mine over to grease now.

So it looks like the DB-35 is what I have. Thank you for the reply!
Does anyone know if you can take the outside cap off of the old oil bath hubs and just replace the bearings?
I changed out the hub oil on both sides with the Lucas Hub Oil which is notably thicker. The side that was grinding a little had some fine bearing material in it but not too bad.
I just got back from a tournament on Toho after changing it (about 400 miles round trip) and both hubs barely even got warm. I’m probably gonna drain and refill, again, the side that was grinding a little just to get the last bit of material out of it.
