Has anyone replaced the studs that screw into the bearing housing on the rear hubs, and that then slip through the holes on the axle housing?

I tried to replace these studs with auto studs from the hardware store, but when I went to reinstall the hub and axle, the studs did not line up with the holes on the axle housing, and some of them looked like they were not straight, so I was concerned that they were not the right quality and had bent when being installed. Any ideas where I should get replacements?

Highly unlikely. How would you bend them? And why are you replacing them? I'm guessing one or more of them are cross threaded.

Yes, and these studs are not there. They are also one of the few parts NOT identified by part number in the FO-4 service manual.
 
I don't think that's it -- here's a picture of what I'm trying to replace. The old one taken off the tractor is on the left (with the nut still attached), the new one that I tried to replace it with is on the right.

Yes. I don't recall the exact measurements at the moment (I'm at work), but they were identical. Plus, I was able to screw the new bolt into the bearing housing without any problems.
