Workers Attach Tractor Wheels at Tractor Works

Two factory workers attach the rear wheels to an industrial tractor frame on an assembly line at International Harvester's Tractor Works. Original caption in "Harvester World" magazine reads: "A doughty industrial gets a pair of 1700-pound solid steel wheels as it enters the painting booth on its way over the final 250 feed of the assembly line."
