Can anyone tell me the process that may have been used by IH regarding the painting of tractors?
Did they first assemble the tractor complete, then prime and paint?
I imagine they must have at least had the tin off to get good coverage under the hood, but really don't know for sure.

The Wisconsin Historical Society web site ( http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/libraryarchives/ihc/ ) has lots of IH / McCormick factory photos. Mike Schmudlach & Guy Fay post a lot of them on the ATIS e-mail lists.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Well, that pretty much answers my question. Very interesting, but what is going on under the tractor? Looks like water or something spraying downward into a large vat. Perhaps to keep humidity up and dust down? I noticed right away the guy was not wearing a mask, maybe in that type of controlled booth, you didn't really require one, but that's hard to believe.
Thanks for insight guys.
