Wheel Bearings coming loose
Thought I had it kicked, but it came back. I'm going to crank 'em down super tight, back 'em off and test. If that don't work I'll triple check the hub. If nothing seems wrong, I'll order a set of Timken bearings for it. The end is in sight?

You have GOT to start using your head, here. There is not that much "in there."
Have you ACTUALLY pulled these apart and inspected them? Checked the part numbers? This is not something you want to screw around with.
How tight are you snugging them? Follow the factory manual exactly
"Crank em down super tight"
I don't know what this means.........20 ft lbs? 80? 100?
Excellent way to damage the bearings right out of the chute!!!! Excellent way to strip the nut threads on the spindle.
I've never had or felt the need to use more than a pull with my fingers on say, a 10" crescent, to "seat" the bearings, then back them back off and adjust. I never use the force of my arm, so to speak.
There HAS to be something mechanically basic wrong "in there................"
Seal in the rear is interfering with fit on the spindle--wrong seal
Rear bearing cone does not seat on the spindle shoulder due to wrong size or spindle damage
cups are not seated in the hub, or are wrong bearings CHECK THE NUMBERS
Cones and cups are not matched CHECK THE PART NUMBERS
Thread problems on spindle and or nut, wrong nut, stripped, etc.
Take EVERYTHING apart. CLEAN it. TEST FIT the cones in the cups. CHECK the fit of the rear cone onto the shoulder of the spindle. TEST FIT the seal and look it over carefully. Depth? width? Is the seal too wide?
LOOK at the brake parts. Is something hitting / rubbing?
