Trailer hubs for 3

Deere heads,
The local TSC has 1 1/16" five bolt trailer hubs. Does anyone know if these are available somewhere for 3/4 or 1 inch axles. It would be nice to switch from tri ribs to turf by unbolting. Buy a narrow trailer wheel for the ribs and a snowmobile trailer wheel for the turfs. Paint 'em JD yellow. Probably cost the same as I just paid for the skinny dimple wheels. Would look cool too, 5 bolt pattern front and rear.
It would be nice to have seals too, except for those reinforcing tabs getting in the way of them on the 3/4'ers.
Cheers,
Stephen

Interesting solutions on that website, James. It looks like another winter project, to fabricate these. If you use the inch and a sixteenth stubbs from TSC, you can get 5 bolt hubs to match the back. There will be more meat if you drill out the 3/4" hole in these than the one inch and then sweat them into a pair of sacrificial spindles.
Thanks,
Stephen
