Did they make a Farmall B in a industrial model?

I have a 1940 B that is multi colors but the base paint is ind yellow,farmall red , then robin egg blue [don't ask it is as ugly as you can picture] . Going to repaint it but trying to find out if it will be yellow or red. What say you.
 
I am sure some Farmall B's were probably sold new for industrial uses, but, there was no International B, just the Farmall B. For a small fee, IHC would paint any new tractor whatever color the customer wanted. In the late 40's and early 50's our dealership had a Farmall B that was used for a "shop mule" at the dealership. It was replaced in the mid 50's with a I-4 which was used for the same purpose. Somewhere in the vintage photos there is a picture of this Farmall B "shop mule". It was red and had a front mounted pusher and boom.

To see the photograph of this Farmall B shop mule, clik the "vintage photos" on the left side and when the site comes up fill in the "search" box with "Farmall B shop mule" and click it. That photo will be one of the optional photos that comes up. It shows Johnny B on the Farmall B shop mule pulling a cotton picker header.

Here is the picture. Thanks Harold.

IH NEVER used primer on tractors in those days... All they did was hose the bare, assembled tractor down with red paint, or yellow, or green if that was the order.
