As far as price, they are very high. These bulbs were only used by IH from some of the Super-series to about 1958. I think Guide was owned by GM. I don't know if someone has to pay a royalty or something to use the "Guide" name that's on the bulbs that are currently being made. That would add a few bucks to them, too. I 'm pretty sure Guide made other bulbs this size for fog lights, but I think those may have been all glass and not the metal backed sealed beams, and I don't know if they'll fit the housing.
The replacement headlight assemblies that I have seen for these tractors look very similar to the original lights, but do not use a sealed beam bulb. They use a glass lens, reflector, and miniature lamp similar to the earlier letter series tractors. They look pretty close to the originals, but, like always, the "correct police" would have a fit over them.
If you don't care about the "correct police", you can always get the replacement lights, which use the 1143 12 volt or 1133 6 volt bulbs (a couple of bucks a piece), or find a set of lights of an older combine or something that uses the 4411 12 volt or 4511 6 volt bulbs.
4411 is one of the most common 12 volt round sealed beams that has been used for at least 60+ years by many OEM manufacturers and for aftermarket lights. With thousands of automotive, agricultural, industrial, etc. applications it is bound to be cheaper than a special application bulb.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
