I doubt if they build it from scratch. I'll bet they buy the cap from Navistar and the guage/float mechanicals from Rochester. Rochester still makes similar guages for domestic oil tanks and construction equipment. I have a Sullair portable air compressor fuel guage that is very similar.
Anyway, OEM probably has a high cost basis on the parts and then they have to modify the cap to accept the guage. On top of that, it is just an accessory that probably will find buyers who can afford it. I suggest that if you want one, wait till they put them on eBay. Everything they sell there goes for a significant reduction over their catalog prices.
I have a NOS cap/guage that is a quarter inch too long for a Cub. It should fit the next size tractor. If anybody wants it, I will put it on eBay.
