Tooling costs can be significant. This isn't a battery box or drawbar that is simply labor and materials. I have a cap/gauge and there are alot of parts that have to be formed in special dies. I won't take my gauge apart to list them but there is more than meets the eye.
Sure, every tractor needs a gas cap but nobody needs a cap/gauge. The market for this product is probably restricted.
I would like to reproduce the constant mesh gearbox for the side mounted Electrall. The patterns alone are in excess of $3000. I have a feeling that owners of the more common trailer Electrall may be interested in converting their units into the side mount but will they spend $2000 for the kit. Probably not. I could order 10 gearboxes and wind up with $15,000 worth of inventory that won't sell.
Last week, a bare Electrall generator sold on eBay for about $1150. It is not good for anything because it is incomplete. I emailed the buyer and asked him if he might be interested in a side mount kit. I didn't mention a price thinking it might scare him off. I got no answer.
