I guess it depends on the comfort factor. I farm a couple short grades with probably close to 25% slope. These are only a 50 foot or so length along an old Trolley car rail bed that went through the place close to 100 years ago. Some of the slope is that steep at the edge of the field most of it is up or down hill. I just spread fertilizer on it and have to turn at the side of the hill for a couple turns. I do slow down in gearing and leave throttle alone since it controls the pattern. Been working that since I was a kid. We also have a whole field that the first time in 40 years since it has had anything but pasture on it. I planted corn on it the last 2 years. It is going into Oats and alfalfa this spring. I remember working it as a kid we even dug off some of the hills for fill and flattened the slopes on a couple hills. I think the Soil book calls them 12-15 or a bit more on some of it. Like in the 18-25 range maybe .I would have to look for actual slopes by them. The rest if pretty flat compared to those couple places.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
