Brent, I know the wear you refer to but I don't think it is due to lack of lubrication. I suspect that Henry's hardening process was lacking. It seems the metal at the open end of the hub bearing hardened OK but the it didn't get right down into the hub, leaving it too soft, hence the wear. It has been the same with every original hub I have seen.
So long as the female taper is OK, I am happy with one of those hubs after I use a repair sleeve in it and new end on the housing with V8 rollers. Alternatively, I pack 3 X NU 1010 bearings in each side.
