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.
