Yes, the inner bearings are original ball bearings. Pictures attached. My maintenance records indicate new seals were installed in about 1985. However, there are no grease seals present. So, I must have taken it to a shop for that work, and they just removed the original seals. Anyhow, these 73-112 seals from classicparts.com (made in Taiwan) do not permit the inner bearing (pressed into the hub) to seat against the race that slides onto the spindle.
