Re:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale of 341,997 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2024 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as a trustee of certain assets of the Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries Pension Plan.

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the further assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement against payment of the consideration therefor as provided therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated the date hereof, filed by the Company and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279399) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company to effect registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of such Registration Statement.
