John -FARMALL didn't work anything like that! Lots of the parts were painted BEFORE they were put on the tractor, especially the hood and side panels.
The final assembly line superintendent's number one job was getting tractors off the line and out in the west yard for shipping. Making them all red and white made that easier... Would have been what he would have preferred.
FARMALL had four paint lines and juggling the gold demo parts around and painting most red and a couple gold would have been a production nightmare.
Not sure how many American Coleman equipped tractors were made but I suspect not many. When I was involved with Elwood and their axles at FARMALL, we could only build TWO tractors per day. And the only time we built ten per week was right after the 786 was released. We built ten/week for maybe 3-4 weeks tops. Otherwise Normal production was 1-2 per week. The A-C axle production would have been much less.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
