It is actually a wheelbarrow wheel bearing available at TSC for about $3.00 to $4.00. I will edit this post later with that part number.

These previous posts listed below have pictures and part numbers of these bearings.

I would be against using wheelbarrow bearings, we go through them in a short time at work. Some bearing companies make a better grade bearing with the same specs as tsc. omho
