Plott museum in Southington, OH

I spent last weekend at the home of Larry Lietzow in Mantua, OH. Larry is a genius machinist/metal fabricator. He has a collection of rare tractors that he has restored and makes parts for other restorers when parts are not commercially available. From carburetor floats, to intake/exhaust valves, to hoods and fenders, and anything in between, he makes the parts.

Larry took me to the Plott tractor museum in Southington, OH (near where the tractor vet lives). It's about 15,000 square feet of tractors and associated stuff that has been sorted and displayed on metal racking that is 3 or 4 tiers high.

If I'm lucky, here's a picture showing the general nature of the museum. Chuck Plott, the owner of the museum, specializes in Ferguson tractors, but also has other brands.

If you are ever in Northeast Ohio, you might want to drop by the museum. It's open to the public and free of charge.

a.rothermel,

Southington is about 15 - 20 miles east of Mantua. It's just north of Salem (not West Salem).

The museum is fantastic. Words and pictures don't do it justice. Chuck Plott restores tractors in his workshops and then displays them in his museum. It's unbelievable that anyone could have such an extensive privately owned collection. Chuck hosts a world-wide gathering of Ferguson enthusiasts sometime during the year.

The museum is located directly behind a commercial building that says "Charlane Meats", or something like that.

I hope that you will get to visit it sometime. It's really worth it.

I hope to post some more pictures, but my dial-up network limits the amount of uploads that I can do.

Regards,

Tom in TN
