Well, I found out those bearing will not work. tonight i thought to clean up the insides of the holes, only to find there was not metal in there, but graphite of some sort.
Then I got to hammering and picking, and eventually used a 19mm socket and a 30mm socket in my vice to push out what was left of the old bearing.
Hole mics around 1.17". Technically 1-11/64", or just under 1-3/16".That corresponds to mmaster part
63195K75,
Steel Ball Joint Swivel Bearing 5/8" ID, 1-3/16" OD, 5/8" Ball Thickness 8.22 Each, 11.22 for lube free
Ive got a whole list of other hardware to replace the rusted out bolts and weak rivets used originally, and all the hardware store numbers (Hillman) that I'll post up later.
Looks like if the ID is 5/8", and the flange bolts I bought to replace the big torx are M12-1.75 x 50. The smooth part of the shaft there is .446, just a hair over 7/16. Tio take up the space, i'll try part
2868T98:
Lubricated Bronze Sleeve Bearings SAE 863—Also called Super Oilite®, this material is similar to SAE 841 but contains more iron for greater strength. Note: Color is silver because of the iron
1/2" long, 1.09 each
I'll use washers to make up the difference.
Here you can see the frame, what is left of the original bearing, and the way too small bearing I got to replace it. If i had a lathe, I would do up a steel collar and just sleeve it down, then tack it in.
Although, I may give that some thought and see if anyone local would be able to do 2 up for me at a reasonable price.
