Roller bearings on smooth surfaces last for 50 years. They often run directly on the axle and inside of the hub with no separate outer or inner race. If these surfaces are worn, new will not work. They are also usually difficult to replace with a different type due to the compact nature of the originals. I would look at two solutions. Both would use the original style roller bearings. 1) I would have the axle and bore of the outer race measured for wear. if they were straight/smooth, I would replace them with the same original cage and rollers. If worn I would have them welded up and machined back to original spec. (axle and hub both) 2) If worn, machining the axle and hub to match a larger roller would also be reasonable if there is enough meat left to remain strong. Either way I would replace (or invent a method) the inner and outer seals, especially if there were none. Jim
