I am not sure why they were scalding and scraping that hog before they gutted it. 


I remember seeing my grandpa scrape a hog way back.  They laid it on a big table and had some old style tea kettles that had the water heated and they just poured the hog water on an area and scraped it as they went until it was all done.

This is they way I would probably do it. 


I don't remember the details, but I remember them talking about having the temperature just right so you didn't "set the hair".


This method would be a lot easier than heating up a 55 gallon barrel of water.
