h67st's post in 1955 Mack B85F rear hub bearings and seals was marked as the answer
The inner bearings were greased. When I built mine I omitted the center seal and made them both oil bath. Wheel seals today are much better than they were 70 years ago; I like the CR seals (made by SKF) where the rubber lip rotates in the steel housing. They're easy to install and hard to screw up.
