This is a update ont the Spicer 2000 for now wel I got it aparts and il clean out the grease and stuff and all the gears are in going shape and I was want to put bearing back in it to help support the axle shafts but I don't know the size it would take cause I don't have a mmtool to size the gap with for the bearing and I was wondering if someone on here know the exact size of bearings I would need an have I can convert it to oils instead of grease That before an an I'll have to the after cleaning pictures

Post a pic like the first one but strait up and down and showing from where the bullgear sits all the way to the end of the case (just need to see one half of it) and I'll see if I can figure it out for you by resizing the photo and using my caliper.
Assuming that's a 3/4" axle you need 1630-2RS bearings which are 1-5/8" OD, 3/4" bore and 1/2" thick. Silicone the bodies in the housing, leave the rubber caps on and fill the case around the axles with grease between the bearings and the outer seals to slow down oil from escaping.
@Brianator thanks man an the other name on the transaxle is a Dana Spicer 2000 and and that was my plan on silicon or some permatex that should in some 90 weight gear oil because I think grease is bad on the gear I want to git the best out of it by modify it Alil so I can use it my build off tractor the 1st of January but IV had few set back. But after the 1st of the years thang are looking better an I have my entry form read.

Ya man, if you can afford good quality ones it would be a good choice for durability, it's going to be alot of work to replace them if cheap ones don't hold up long.
I recommend leaving the seals in, oil WILL seep in and through them. I noticed your case has a seal at the end of the channel for the axle but it's not new and you'll want all the help you can get to the hold oil in.
@Brianator@Rustbucket Garage thanks guys I'm going to keep the rubber seal but I'm think about replacing them with new one if I can find them or would grommets work as well as them seal no and I want it to hold for years to come so I want the best in it .

We're actaully talking about the rubber seals that are on the bearings themselves, they're removable.
If you can find new outer seals that's an excellent choice! Look for more numbers on the case like an info tag hopefully. It's a 2000 but a 2000-???? Could make all the difference in finding the right ones
@Brianator no man I'm not removing the seal I am replacing the outer rubber seal for extra protection and the outer seal was the one I thought un was talking about but no man I want all the help I can git to hold my oil in so it will last a very long time un till I can afford another or can find a 820 or something in that nature
