The Buda Engine Company was an American engine manufacturer based in Illinois . The company had 106 mainly US commercial vehicle manufacturers among its customers and was also a major supplier of engines for boats, farm tractors and equipment, construction machinery and logistics vehicles . Buda also manufactured forklifts for a time. After the takeover by Allis-Chalmers in 1953, the brand was discontinued, but engines developed by Buda remained in the Allis-Chalmers range for a long time.

Company history

The company was founded in 1881 by George Chalender in Buda , Illinois, and initially mainly produced tools and machines for track maintenance , switches and signaling systems. At the end of the 19th century, a new 2.4 hectare factory in Harvey near Chicago (Illinois) began to manufacture motorized trolleys and velocipede . Initially, they were powered by purchased, air-cooled single-cylinder engines. After the company's own engine production started, in-house engines were used. In 1913 at least eight different motorized trolleys and velocipede were on offer. The construction of draisines is documented until at least 1943, after which the US Army took over the existing inventory and Buda Engine switched to war production.

  • Typical velocipede from an unknown manufacturer, approx. 1904.

  • Buda Motor Car № 30; "Section Motor Car" (motor trolley) for monitoring track sections and for signal repairs; published 1914.

  • Typical motorized trolley for the New York Central Railroad as a "rail bus" for passenger transport, around 1908. The manufacturer is unknown.

Engine production

From around 1906 Buda also dealt with the development of an automobile . However, the prospects were considered too uncertain and the project and prototype were sold to Fairbanks, Morse and Company in Chicago, where another prototype with a four-cylinder engine was built in 1908. After that, work was also stopped there.

The series production of engines for industry, agriculture, draisines, buses, trucks and boats did not start until 1910. In 1912, vehicle transmissions were advertised alongside engines.

Commercial vehicles with electric drive

A contemporary source, the British Motor, Marine and Aircraft Red Book 1913-1917 , refers to Buda commercial vehicles with electric propulsion in the Electric Vehicles chapter . Three trucks with 40 Cwt (2032 kg) payload each and one tractor are listed :

  • Buda Type A Warehouse truck (truck with flatbed)
  • Buda Type C warehouse truck; 4 wheeler 8 tier, low platform ( low loader ; it is unclear whether 4 wheeler refers to four-wheel drive or four-wheel steering ; both were already known.)
  • Buda Type CE Elevating platform ( tipper ).
  • Buda type TW Tractor ( tractor ).

What they all had in common was an Ironclad MV 5 battery with 16 cells. Electromobile was still named as a representative . This also represented the US Commercial Truck Company , manufacturer of the CT -Elektro truck. While CT is well documented in the standard literature, the existence of Buda electric vehicles cannot be further proven.

Participation in the Liberty program

During the First World War , Buda was involved in the US government's Liberty truck program and supplied engine components. Under the leadership of the Quartermaster Corps of the US Army and with "patriotic" support from the automobile and commercial vehicle industry and in particular the Society of Automobile Engineers , the technical deficit of the barely mechanized army was to be compensated for in a short time. In doing so, they resorted to experience that they had previously gained in the campaigns against Pancho Villa in Mexico . One of the most important findings from this was that a successful operation required vehicles with a uniform design so as not to overwhelm the logistics . This was also the task for the Liberty program, to which 62 suppliers and 15 commercial vehicle manufacturers were involved:

Liberty Standard B 3 ton truck in the National Museum of the United States Air Force , around 1918. The engine block with cylinders cast in pairs is clearly visible.

In addition, the International Motor Car Company in New York is mentioned by a source , but it was reorganized as the United States Motor Company in 1910 and one of the first automobile companies to go bankrupt in 1913.

The design for the Liberty truck based on one of Gramm-Bernstein constructed commercial vehicle, which was developed in four basic types: Class A , AA , B and C . The latter two were considered to be heavy trucks with 3 resp. 5 tn payload ; Class B was by far the most widely built version with over 20,000 copies. Almost all of them were given engines designed by Continental . Anyone who wanted to build these trucks or components for it was allowed to do so according to a simplified licensing procedure, which only applied to military vehicles.

Motor vehicles were mostly handcrafted around the turn of the century; the individual components and parts were matched to each other for each vehicle. The interchangeability of components was a major step forward, for which Cadillac did not receive the Dewar Trophy until 1908 , at that time an innovation award from the automotive industry. The Liberty program was not the first with which a motor vehicle was manufactured by several companies according to specified data, because the German standard 3-ton truck was designed earlier. However, it went one step further with decentralized manufacturing. Liberty was a success and meant that the US Army was able to reduce its massive deficits in mechanization in the short term.

Apart from Continental and Buda, there were also suppliers for engine and Engine components:

It can be assumed that some of the larger truck manufacturers with their own engine production facilities have also built Liberty engines or components thereof. In addition to this program, Buda also supplied the engines for the four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering available Jeffery Quad , which was manufactured from 1918 to 1923 as the Nash Quad .

Fiercely competitive market

The war fundamentally changed the market situation. Until well into the 1920s, there was a large number of manufacturers in both passenger car and commercial vehicle construction who “assembled” their vehicles in whole or in part, which means putting together components available on the market. In the USA, this market was grouped under Assembled Vehicles . It also offered a number of large and small engine manufacturers sales opportunities, but was also fiercely contested among them. With over 100 identified vehicle manufacturers who fully or partially used these engines, Buda was temporarily the second largest engine manufacturer in the USA. Other significant competitors were the market leader Continental Motors Company in Muskegon MI, Atlas Engine Works in Indianapolis IN, Climax Engineering Company in Clinton IO (no relation to the UK Coventry-Climax ), Hercules Engine Company in Canton OH, Herschell-Spillman in North Tonawanda NY, the LeRoi Company in Milwaukee WI, the Lycoming Company in Williamsport PA, the Rutenber Motor Company in Logansport IN, Teetor-Hartley in Hagerstown IN, Waukesha Engines in Waukesha WI, the Weidely Motors Company in Indianapolis, or Wisconsin Motor Manufacturing Company in Milwaukee WI.

After the end of the war, the armed forces of the victorious powers sold large parts of their now superfluous truck inventory. This immediately led to a slump in the market for new vehicles, especially in the class up to 3 tons payload. The now decommissioned army trucks were well maintained, were repaired before they were sold and were significantly cheaper than a new truck of comparable size. The disadvantages - high consumption and low speed - were accepted, respectively. had little effect because of the poor condition of the road network. Although the US authorities quickly decided that the vehicles used in Europe would no longer be brought back to the US (which exacerbated the problem in Europe), the US market was also badly affected. In addition, orders from the army, on which countless companies inside and outside the vehicle sector depended, also ended immediately. There were also order cancellations.

In 1925 Buda offered 16 different engine series, of which over 100,000 units were produced annually from the most successful, the WTU type , also installed in the Nash Quad mentioned above . The fierce competition among commercial vehicle manufacturers on the one hand and their suppliers on the other led to a market shakeout. Dozens of small, often only regionally active truck and bus manufacturers had to close. The remaining manufacturers and corporations increasingly developed and built their engines themselves, so that this division for independent companies like Buda was eroded. A similar battle for displacement had already started earlier in the passenger car sector, when Henry Ford began systematic flow production of his Ford Model T from 1913 and at the same time the dependency on component suppliers was significantly reduced.

The development of the manufacturers of farm tractors and construction machinery, another area of ​​activity of Buda, was similar.

By 1930 Buda had offices in New York City and San Francisco. There was an international collaboration with MAN and Lanova .

Sale of the company

In 1953 Allis-Chalmers acquired the company and the Buda-Lanova models were marketed as "Allis-Chalmers Diesel Engines".

A Buda Engine Company in Shreveport ( Louisiana produced) or delivered by 2015 Spare parts for engines Buda seems, but at present to be inactive.

Buda abroad

Foreign missions

After the manufacturers of Electromobile vehicles in Leeds represented Great Britain in the early years of Buda's existence , this was done for a short time by the truck manufacturer HG Burford & Co. Ltd. in North Kensington. The available literature suggests that this must have been after 1917. This company also had a subsidiary in Canada and the truck manufacturer HG Burford & Company in the USA; the parent company was closed around 1925. An advertisement from this period also mentions a Buda branch at 29 Rue de la Rochefoucault in Paris .

The British HG Burford & Co. Ltd. , Commercial vehicle manufacturer and parent company of the short-lived US company HG Burford & Company in Fremont, Ohio , was a Buda concessionaire for the United Kingdom.

Buda Company (England)

A report in the trade journal The Commercial Motor dated April 28, 1925 directs the Buda Company of England at 75 Evershot Road, Stroud Green , London N.4. as a branch. A detailed report followed in the February 23, 1926 edition. Accordingly, it was established around 1924. In 1925 five of the 16 Buda engines were available in Great Britain; 300 copies were sold. Around 1930 there is a seat in Wembley , Middlesex .

Chase

Advert for chase trucks (1918).

The Chase Motor Truck Company in Syracuse, New York NY was a typical Buda customer. The company was founded in 1906 and initially only produced highwheelers with engines of its own design. In addition to passenger cars, there were also high-wheeler trucks with a payload of up to 3 sh.tn. From 1912 these vehicles, which had similarities with those of International Harvester , were manufactured exclusively as delivery vans and trucks. In 1914 this production ended entirely. This was followed by conventional trucks with payloads of 1, 2 and 3 sh.tn (approx. 900, 1815 and 2720 kg, respectively) and initially Continental four-cylinder engines. The product range around these modern designs with cardan drive was expanded from 1917 to include three-quarter and 3½-ton trucks (payload 680-3175 kg), for which Waukesha and Buda engines are occupied. The latter were four-cylinder with 4.6 respectively. 4.8 liter displacement for models B and O.

The US Army also obtained an unknown number of such trucks. Production ended in 1918, and the company continued to build a tractor in a branch in Canada until 1921.

Model B, 5,000  lb (2,267.962  kg ) payload 4⅛ × 5¼; Buda 280.6 ci 4599 cc; $ 2475
Model O, 7,000  lb (3,175.147  kg ) payload 4⅛ × 5½; Buda 294.0 ci 4818 cc; $ 3300

Darts

Dart mining truck

The company, which was founded in Anderson (Indiana) in the 1890s, began manufacturing engines in 1903 and was taken over by the William Galloway Company in 1907 and moved to their headquarters in Waterloo, Iowa , where commercial vehicle production began. Several models from the period before and after the First World War used Buda engines, including the Giraglia Model E . The known data (22.5 HP, W × H: 3¾ × 5⅛ inches) indicate that the Buda WU or WTU with 226.4 ci (3710 cm³) for this light truck with 1 tn. Payload was used. The performance was given as 29 bhp @ 1200 / min; the maximum output was according to other information at 48 bhp @ 2200 / min. The technically similar Model L had a payload of 3½ tn, a rating of 32.5 HP (W × H: 4½ × 6 inches resulting in a displacement of 381.7 ci or 5255 cm³) and an output of 52.5 bhp @ 1200 / min .

Between these two types, the Model CC-4 was made for the military . In the specifications it corresponded to the Liberty Standard A class with 2 tn. Payload and single rear wheels. But Dart was not affiliated with the Liberty program. The noted Buda engine with W × H: 4¼ × 5½ inches (312.2 ci or 5116 cm³ was with some probability the Buda HU or HTU and not the Continental engine of the A - possibly also copied by Buda ) -Class. A rating of 28.9 HP and an output of 40 bhp are noted. The production amounted to 325 copies.

Rambler, Jeffery and Nash

Jeffery Quad 1½ tn truck with four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and Buda four-cylinder engine


The Thomas B. Jeffery Company in Kenosha ( Wisconsin ) had started vehicle production in 1901. The success of the company changed the city of Kenosha massively. The share in commercial vehicle production rose steadily. Initially, all commercial vehicles and some passenger cars had Buda engines.

One of the most important products was the Jeffery Quad . It was developed in 1913 at the suggestion of the US military. Based on a Jeffery 2-ton truck, the vehicle had a primitive, open driver's cab, a free-standing radiator and, thanks to a simple but robust all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, was the first successful 4 × 4 commercial vehicle. The quad had an axle at the front and rear to carry the weight and a portal axle for the drive. The steering worked similarly to the modern Torsen principle. From the beginning, a side-controlled Buda four-cylinder type HU was planned, which made 36 bhp (26.8 kW) from 312 ci (5113 cm³); The engine was rated at 28.9 tax horsepower according to NACC

At times the demand was so great that the quad was also manufactured under license by Hudson , National and Paige ; In 1917 Jeffery's successor, Nash Motors , produced almost exclusively quads. The vehicle, offered in three versions (including two with all-wheel steering), was primarily used for military purposes and was used by the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps and the armies of Russia, France and Great Britain. Mostly it was used as a transporter, towing vehicle or field ambulance. To make better use of the terrain, the French army even switched to loading guns instead of pulling them.

Jeffery Armored car No.1, Mexican Expedition , 1916

A small number of quads were built as armored cars from 1915 onwards. The weight of the armored car practically canceled out the advantages of all-wheel drive, and there were also problems with the crankshaft bearings in the engine .

Civil uses were found in agriculture , forestry , communal services and construction. A version is known as a tipper with a manual tipping mechanism.

For 1917, a four-cylinder with 226.4 ci (3710 cc) is occupied for the Transporter Jeffery All Purpose Truck with 1½ tn payload.

Cretors

Buda carried out a special assignment in 1915 for C. Cretors & Company in Chicago. Charles Cretors (1852–1934) invented the popcorn machine in 1885 and built a company to manufacture it that still exists today. It was one of the leading manufacturers of such devices with steam heating in the USA and had decided not only to order its trucks according to the special needs, but to build them themselves. Cretors ordered components for nine trucks and assembled them in the same way as the numerous manufacturers of assembled trucks did. Side-controlled Buda four-cylinder industrial engines, model QU, with 243 ci (3982 cm³) and 22.5 hp (rating according to NACC), Zenith L5 carburettors, three-speed transmission, single chain to the rear axle and a suspension with all-round semi-elliptical leaf springs were used. The wheelbase was 132 inches (3353 mm).

The vehicles were equipped with steam heaters, popcorn machines, gas burners and peanut roasting systems and served as mobile market stalls. Accordingly, they were also sold to market drivers by Cretors. Three are said to have been preserved (RM); one was part of the National Automobile Museum in Reno (Nevada) (formerly the Harrah Collection ), where it received an extensive restoration. This vehicle with chassis number 9112 was delivered to HS Herreck in Bakersfield ( California ) on September 3, 1915 . It cost the very high sum of US $ 4165.00 FOB Chicago. In the Harrah Collection, it received a profound, expert restoration in 1964. In 2013, it was auctioned by Gooding & Co. for US $ 374,000 at an estimate of US $ 200,000-275,000. On the occasion of another auction in 2015 as part of the renowned Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance , US $ 231,000 were offered. Whether or not an award was made is seen as contradicting the sources.

Pan American

The Pan American Motors Corporation in Decatur ( Illinois ) was an automobile manufacturer that was only from 1917 to 1923. Commercial vehicle production, which was discontinued in 1919, was even more short-lived. A Buda engine was only used for the single truck model. Like the Pan American automobiles, the vehicle was an assembled vehicle , made up of purchased components. The model name changed annually: Model 17 for 1917, Model 18 for 1918, etc. The truck was only available as a 2½-tonner and at least in 1918 in two lengths with either 150 or 160 inches (3810 or 4064 mm) wheelbase. A Buda four-cylinder with a 4½ inch bore and 5½ inch stroke was used, giving 349.9 ci or 5734 cm³.

Versare

Versare eight-wheel hybrid of Montreal Tramways Company , no. 800, called "Atwater Street Monster" (Record 1930)


The Versare Corporation in Albany (New York) introduced in 1925 a bus with four pairs of axes. Each pair had its own subframe and one axle per bolster was driven. The bus was petrol-electric. The electricity for the electric motors was supplied by a Buda four-cylinder under the conventional bonnet. It was intended to offer an alternative to rail-bound trams and railcars with this vehicle. A small series of at least 5 copies (including the prototype ) was created. Versare was taken over by the wagon manufacturer Cincinnati Car Company and perfected the vehicle.

veteran

The veteran truck was the project of an ex-soldier in the Canadian Army. The truck presented in 1920 was a conventional assembled truck with a payload of 3½ tonnes, a Buda four-cylinder engine, Cotta gearbox, a worm drive attached to the differential and a completely enclosed all-steel cabin. Few of these trucks were made, some for the Canadian Post. A special feature was that war veterans were hired if possible, hence the brand name.

Passenger car and taxi manufacturer with Buda engines

Ben Hur Six 7-Passenger Touring ( McClure's Automobile Year Book , 1917-1918).

Buda was focused on building engines for commercial vehicles. Only a few passenger car manufacturers rely on the robust but unspectacular products from this manufacturer. However, it was also possible to find a niche here that was served quite prominently in the 1920s. Some of the major taxi vehicle suppliers had chosen Buda engines, including Luxor and Pennant . After a change of ownership in 1920, the Commonwealth Motors Corporation was added with the Commonwealth Mogul . This turned out to be a stroke of luck for Buda, as the resulting Checker Cab Manufacturing Company became one of the market leaders and sold thousands of their engines, while its competitor Yellow Cab Manufacturing also consistently relied on Continental .

Out of 106 identified Buda customers (depending on the calculation method, there can be a few more) only ten manufactured passenger cars. The most important brands were Apperson and Lambert , the most exclusive were Argonne , Biddle and Owen Magnetic . Some customers turned out to be very short-lived, such as the six-cylinder car from the Ben Hur Motor Company of Willoughby, Ohio , a suburb of Cleveland , whose reputable construction deserves a better fate.

The following list contains car brands that have been shown to have used models with Buda engines. The bolded brands can be assigned to individual models or series, including technical data.

Apperson

For the Apperson Brothers Automobile Company , Buda four-cylinder engines with 318.1 ci (5.2 liters) from 1910 are used, as are Apperson Six of the series 6-45 (1914-1915), 6-55 (1914), 6-48 ( 1915), 6-16 (1916). The larger engines from this manufacturer were V8's own design, which were replaced by Lycoming in 1925 .

Argonne and Biddle

The Rochester-Duesenberg four-cylinder engine was neither developed nor built at Buda, but it had an indirect impact on the company. It is the street version of the large-volume Type G racing engine from Duesenberg Motors Corporation Elizabeth (New Jersey) . Fred Duesenberg had developed it before the First World War and used it in races with some success. The company existed in this form for only about two years (1916–1918) and manufactured aircraft and commercial vehicle engines for military applications. After the war ended, most of the orders were canceled and there was no prospect of filling the huge factory. It was sold to Willys-Overland . After the introduction of a new racing formula, the technically interesting Type G engine could no longer be used. The rights holders sold the construction and the molds to Rochester Motors Company, Inc. in Rochester (New York) . They built the racing engines, which were only slightly modified for the road, as the Rochester-Duesenberg G with 5.0 and G-1 with 5.4 liter displacement and 71 resp. 81 bhp power (the racing engine made 103 bhp). Customers for this were smaller manufacturers of sporty luxury cars, all of which were made up of components that were available on the open market ( assembled vehicles ). However, these engines were so expensive that most of the identified manufacturers also added a less extravagant engine in the same chassis to their range. The surcharge for a Rochester-Duesenberg G1 was up to US $ 500, or the equivalent of a Ford Model T .

The Argonne in Jersey City ( New Jersey ) was founded by Otto R. Bieler , who had previously constructed the Biddle in Philadelphia ( Pennsylvania ) . Both vehicles were technically similar and in the basic version used the Buda four-cylinder WTU engine with 48 bhp (36 kW) at 2200 rpm from 226.4 ci (3.7 liters). The bore is 3¾ inches, the stroke 5⅛ inches (95.25 × 130.175 mm) and the NACC rating 22.5 hp.

The Biddle came on the market in 1915 and was manufactured a total of around 1750 times under three companies by 1922. After the Biddle Model D was ready for series production , Bieler went into business for himself and worked with Harold E. Porter to develop the technically similar but sportier Argonne , which was only built from 1919 to 1920. There are contradicting statements about this. One source mentions the 226.4 engine with the same key data for 1920, but describes it as its "own" engine, while others assume that Buda and later other engines were used first. With 25 vehicles and about 10 more, assembled from existing parts after the bankruptcy, the numbers were marginal anyway.

While the Rochester-Duesenberg option is clearly documented for the Argonne, some Duesenberg engines (up to 1917) can be proven for the Biddle . Whether there was a Biddle with the Rochester-Duwesenberg engine is controversial.

Commonwealth and Checker

Checker H-2 Taxi (1923).

The Commonwealth Motors Corporation in Joliet , Will County and Kendall County , Illinois , was an automobile manufacturer, the auslastete much of its capacity with taxis. The first originated around 1918. According to one source, Commonwealth was already using the brand name Checker for a version of the major customer Checker Cab Company , a major taxi company , as early as 1920, before the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company was founded. The first of this series, also known as Model C , received Lycoming four-cylinders, which were replaced by Herschell-Spillman in 1921 . It was a customized version of the Commonwealth Mogul for this customer , of which 1,800 units were ordered. The order led to the formation of the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company , into the Commonwealth . One of the first decisions at Checker was to switch to Buda four-cylinder. One source explicitly mentions the Buda WTU, which is known from numerous commercial vehicles . Most were delivered with a side-controlled Buda four-cylinder engine with a 3⅝ inch bore and 5⅛ inch stroke. This results in a displacement of 211.6 ci (3467 cm³) and a NACC rating of 21.3 hp. There is a power rating of 34 bhp (25.4 kW), but it is not certain whether this was the power of this engine variant. Buda engines are clearly documented from 1922 onwards. It is interesting in this context that the company placed a major order for 1,800 engines with a National Mas-Gore Engine Company in Kalamazoo ( Michigan ) in 1922 . This version is referred to as the Model C-44 with 40 bhp output. After Checker used Buda engines almost exclusively until around 1929, it is reasonable to assume that National Mas-Gore Engine was the local Buda agency. According to a single source, after its takeover by Checker, Buda engines were also used in the Checker Model C ; they are also documented in the technically very similar successors Model E , F and G-4 , the six-cylinder G-6 and in the first really new Checker taxi, the Model K from 1928. The Model M , which was introduced in 1931 and partly produced in parallel to the K , was derived from this with an interesting, variably usable combination version MU-6 . However, these were the last Checkers with Buda engines. Checker then belonged to the Cord Corporation for a short time and used the company's own Lycoming engines in its successor, the Model T. After that, Checker used engines from Continental, with a few exceptions, and when these were no longer available, from General Motors and especially Chevrolet .

Lenox Motor Car Company

Lenox Model D Speedster with 280.1 ci four-cylinder and 27 bhp (1911)

The Lenox Motor Car Company was from 1911 to 1917 at several villas in and around Boston ( Massachusetts ). The manufacturer built solid assembled cars with at least one Buda engine, the 312.1 ci (4649 cm³) HU, offered from 1913. The predecessor had a 280.6 ci (4599 cm³) four-cylinder of unoccupied origin. Its bore and stroke (4⅛ × 5¼ inches), however, correspond to a Buda engine that is used in various cars and commercial vehicles, such as the aforementioned Chase Model B. It is therefore not unreasonable to assume that Lenox also used this engine . The achievement is with 27 resp. 40 bhp indicated. A 6-60 six-cylinder offered from 1913 to early 1916 had a T-head engine , probably from Wisconsin . No details are available for the commercial vehicles offered from 1915 to 1917, a model 20 tractor with 22–30 bhp (22 bhp output on the drawbar and 18 bhp on the drive belt ) had a Wisconsin four-cylinder and all-wheel drive .

Luxor Cab Manufacturing Company

The industrialist Mathias P. Möller (1854–1937) owned several businesses, including the largest manufacturer of organ pipes in the USA and the MP Moller Motor Car Company , formerly Crawford Automobile Company in Hagerstown (Massachusetts) . This company has mainly produced the well-known Dagmar sports car since 1922 . In 1924 Möller participated in the founding of the Luxor Cab Manufacturing Company for the production of conventional but particularly high-quality taxis. A few copies were made in Hagerstown before the RH Long Company in Framington, Massachusetts rented premises in the spring of 1924 . It was the manufacturer of the popular Bay State mid-range car . The MP Moller Motor Car Company bought this building in 1926, relocated all operations here and incorporated Luxor as a dependent department. The Luxor used a 226.4 ci (3710 cc) four cylinder Buda WTU in a 114 inch (2896 mm) wheelbase chassis.

More Luxor versions

Probably to support his chronically unprofitable car production, Möller also planned taxi production as a second mainstay at the old location. The taxis built by the MP Moller Motor Car Company largely corresponded to the Luxor . However, they were offered under numerous other brand names, sometimes exclusively for a single major customer. Externally and in terms of equipment there were differences such as pointed or flat coolers; technically, however, these vehicles were largely identical. In addition to Luxor, the brands Moller , Blue Light (1927 – ca. 1931), Aristocrat (1927–1931), Paramount and Super Paramount (1927–1931), Astor (1925–1927), Five-Boro (1924–1927) were identified and Twentieth Century (1925 – approx. 1927). The conventional and more or less identical chassis got Buda four-cylinder WTU engines with 226.4 ci (3710 cm³), later six-cylinder. In 1926 Möller switched to the Continental six-cylinder, which was also used for the Dagmar and the Standish . With the latter, an unsuccessful attempt was made in 1924 to derive a car from the Luxor . This was abandoned in 1925; the capacities that were freed up were used for the Elysee , which was manufactured as a van transporter specifically for the needs of upscale shops and was both a delivery van and an advertising medium.

Tribune

The case of the Tribune Motor Company in Detroit was tragic. The company was founded in 1913 by Louis Gorham Hupp (1872–1961). Hupp was brother and employee of the founder of Hupmobile , Robert Craig Hupp (1877-1931). Together they left the Hupp Motor Car Company in a dispute with the donors. LH Hupp was unsuccessful with the Tribune: The project failed due to funding, although a series-ready prototype and production facilities were available. A four-liter four-cylinder engine from Buda was used for the prototype Tribune Model A. Another mentions a 4¼ "(108 mm) bore , 5½" (140 mm) stroke, and a displacement of 312.1 "(5114 cc). The NACC rating is given by several sources as 28.9 hp. The engine described can also be found in the FAL 35/40 hp (1910-1913) and Grayhound (1913-1914) as well as in farm tractors from Champion (9-18) and Chase .

FAL / Car Without A Name

FAL Model M 35/40 hp (1910)

The Fal Automobile Company in Chicago was active from 1909 to 1914. At first the vehicles were sold under the brand name Car Without A Name , which should interest customers and other manufacturers. The idea was to produce the vehicle for other manufacturers. After a short time it appeared as the FAL Model 55 and the Roadster FAL Grayhound . Technically not very demanding, a Buda four-cylinder 312.1 in³ (5114 cm³) was used. The Grayhound was also able to sleep thanks to the standard seat cushions that served as a mattress.

Tractors

The Farmcrest 30 is a Cockshutt 30 produced for the trading company Gamble-Skogmo, Inc. with a Buda four-cylinder engine 4BG153 / 4BD153. Farmcrest is the trademark of this department store chain.

Buda engines were already used in farm tractors during the First World War. An early representative was the Dart Blue J , which was produced from 1918 to 1921. Two variants were available, which only differed in the Buda four-cylinder engine used. The smaller 12-25 with W × H: 4¼ × 5½ inches (312.2 ci or 5116 cm³) probably had the Buda HU or HTU . The larger 15-30 had a displacement of 381.7 ci or 5255 cm³ (W × H: 4½ × 6 inches). These engines can also be found in Dart trucks from this period.

Badge engineering was quite common in the tractor market. One of the most widespread representatives of this was cockshutt tugs. In order to intensify sales in the USA, this Canadian manufacturer entered into purchase agreements with a number of farm equipment manufacturers. The tractors were not only sold through their distribution networks, they also had appropriate lettering, logos and colors. Because the Cockshutt series 30 , 35 , 40 and 50 used Buda engines (gasoline and partly diesel), these were also widely used (the Cockshutt 20 was powered by a Continental four-cylinder),

The Co-operative Manufacturing Company was one of several cooperative companies that offered their products under the brand name CO-op . In addition to tractors, this also included various farm equipment. The tractors were not manufactured in-house, but bought from various suppliers, such as Cletrac , Custom , Duplex or Cockshutt . Only the latter used Bua engines. Because of the widespread use of these vehicles, the Buda engines used are also well documented. After the tractors in particular were not selling sufficiently, the cooperative was taken over by Cockshutt in 1952 and the CO-op brand was discontinued.

Boat engines

Inboard boat engines were an early part of Buda's range of products. Trade magazines aimed at boat and yacht owners and outfitters indicate a wide range of corresponding engines. Often these were slightly modified commercial vehicle engines with and without propeller drive. It is known that the US Navy was one of the customers. Outboard motors have not yet been documented. The letter "M" in the second position of the type designation seems to stand for marine application and could therefore refer to boat and ship engines.

technology

Typical Buda four-cylinder engine for passenger cars and commercial vehicles (1920).

Buda initially built water-cooled in- line engines , initially as a four-cylinder and from around 1914 also as a six-cylinder .

In early advertisements, the company praised itself as a pioneer of the monoblock engine . Previously, the state of the art was to cast cylinders in pairs and to place the sub-blocks on a common crankshaft housing. Buda engines were long-stroke engines and had encapsulated valves, "silent" control chains for valve control and a closed oil circuit. The early four-cylinder gasoline engines had outputs between 30 and 60 bhp.

They were particularly popular with many commercial vehicle manufacturers. In 1918 the M1917 , the American variant of the French Renault FT tank , received a four-cylinder Buda HU engine with a displacement of 312 ci (5114 cm³) and an engine output increased from 36 to 42 bhp. In the case of engines before 1920, there are occasionally measured performance data according to bhp; However, for the most part, values calculated according to ALAM / NACC- PS were given. These correspond to the RAC rating .

Eight- cylinder in-line engines were introduced in the 1930s, usually as diesels using the Lanova injection process . After the fire service manufacturer Seagrave Fire Apparatus had acquired the rights and production resources for its V12 car engine from the insolvent Pierce-Arrow Company in 1935 , Buda built these engines for Seagrave. The even larger Seagrave V12, which was introduced in 1932, was not made at Buda.

Bus and taxi manufacturers such as Bridgeport, Luxor Cab Manufacturing Company or Pennant also used Buda engines. Fire fighting vehicle manufacturers who offered models with Buda engines included Seagrave, Duplex and American LaFrance .

Buda engines were also popular with a number of logistics providers (vans in factory traffic , forklifts ) as well as construction machinery and tractor manufacturers . This market dried up after the takeover by Allis-Chalmers because the new owners were present in these sectors themselves and many previous customers did not want to support a competitor.

Customers often asked for gasoline engines, but there were also many diesel variants with identical cubic capacity, for example the Cockshutt 30 G and 30D tractor with the Buda G153 and the Buda G153. D153 (153.1 ci corresponding to 2509 cm³) and its numerous sister brands. It seems that diesel tractors are a little more prevalent in Canada than in the US.

Motors (selection)

The production of one or two-cylinder engines seems plausible, at least for the company's own draisines, a three-cylinder two-stroke engine seems to have been offered before 1910. Buda engine production expanded after 1905. Vehicle transmissions and other components were still being manufactured in 1912. This was followed by a concentration on large-volume, side-controlled internal combustion engines.

The naming system is confusing and has changed over time. Initially, two- and three-digit letter combinations were used, the first letter defining the series, the second the application (e.g. "T" for transport or road vehicles or "M" for boat and ship engines) and a third to special technical features pointed out, for example "U" for a completely closed engine block; this became the norm in the late 1920s, so the code "U" was dropped.

When six-cylinder engines were also manufactured in the second half of the 1910s, this was not evident from the type designation; occasionally the number of cylinders was given after a hyphen. The designation GL-6 is used for the six-cylinder GL .

In 1926 Buda introduced 16 different gasoline engines for road vehicles, with the BTU , ETU , KTU , WTU and YTU series being documented for June 1925.

From the 1930s onwards, the number of cylinders was put in front, followed by the letter code. In the course of the rationalization and standardization of the products, the same engine block could be used for different engines, which is why it became necessary to also specify the cubic capacity to differentiate. This was done with a three to four digit number that corresponded to the cubic capacity in cubic inches (ci). It seems that the codes "DT" and "DH" were reserved for Buda-Lanova diesel engines . The number of cylinders was also in front here, e.g. B. 6DH691 with 691 ci displacement. The notation 6-DH-691 is also known. Thus, one of the most popular Buda engines after the Second World War can be broken down as follows: 4BG153 : four-cylinder, gasoline engine ("G" for gasoline, "D" for diesel), 153.1 ci (2509 cm³) displacement. There were numerous variants of this, which differed for example in the crankshaft bearings, the material used for the pistons or the ignition system.

Buda-Lanova

Buda was one of the early licensees of Lanova AG to use the Lanova injection process for diesel engines. By means of a special design of the cylinder head and combustion chamber, it improves the combustion air ratio so that these engines work more efficiently and more quietly. Buda-Lanova engines were available with four or six cylinders. The smallest was a four-cylinder with 3.5 liter displacement, the largest a six-cylinder with 31 liter displacement. Buda manufactured engines based on this principle for road vehicles, boats, ships and industrial applications and also supplied the US Army and Navy .

Another Lanova licensee is the Hercules Engine Company in Canton ( Ohio ).

Guiberson

Guiberson A-1020 diesel aircraft engine (circa 1940)
US tank Light Tank M3 "Stuart" (circa 1942)

During the Second World War , Buda took over the series production of a diesel-powered nine-cylinder radial engine developed by the Guiberson Diesel Engine Company in Dallas ( Texas ). This A-1020 was developed as an aircraft engine. Packard brought diesel aircraft engines to series production for the first time with the DR-980 , also a nine-cylinder radial engine, and for a short time they were considered as an alternative to the gasoline engine. However, with the advent of high-octane aviation fuel in the 1930s, such engines lost their market base.

The engine was originally designed as an air-cooled Guiberson A-1020 radial diesel engine with nine cylinders. Each cylinder had ever a top-controlled inlet and outlet valves. With a 5⅛ inch (130 mm) bore and 5½ inch (140 mm) stroke, the ratio was designed to be almost square. The result was a displacement of 1021 ci (16.7 liters). The 15: 1 compression engine had a continuous output of 250 bhp at 2200 / min and reached up to 265 bhp at 2250 / min.

Because there was an urgent need for tank engines, a corresponding version T-1020 was derived from it. This received water cooling and a powerful fan driven by the crankshaft . The "T" stands for "Tank" (tank). It was mainly used in the Light Tank M3 "Stuart" main battle tank . Buda was awarded the contract for the serial production of both variants, among which many parts and components were interchangeable anyway. A plant was built in Harvey for their assembly line production, which was designed in anticipation of a coming war and blackout regulations without windows but with air conditioning and fluorescent lighting.

Apparently, other variants with seven or five cylinders were considered and a compressor variant was also considered. This did not happen, however, because the diesel drive in aircraft turned out to be a dead end and there were other drive options for ground vehicles. The successor to the M3, the M5 "Stuart" , received two V8 engines from Cadillac and an automatic transmission.

Buda- and Allis-Chalmers Buda forklifts

Some customers may not have been pleased that Buda also manufactured complete forklift trucks after the Second World War and thus became a direct competitor. There is little documentation on the forklift trucks offered by Buda and later Allis-Chalmers. The FB 2024 model with the four-cylinder Buda 4B153 engine, which is also known from the Cockshutt 30 farm tractor and construction machines . 4BD153 as a diesel lifted 2000 lb (900 kg) and was apparently continued to be built by Allis-Chalmers for an extended period after the acquisition; The photos still show the writing "BUDA" in large block letters on the bonnet.

One of the first models after the takeover by Allis-Chalmers was the FTP-40-24 with a maximum load capacity of 5000 lb (270 kg) and a single-stage, tilt-adjustable lifting arm of 84 inches (2.13 m) in length and forks 48 inches (1.22 m) long. The equipment included a two-speed gearbox with reverse gear, pneumatic tires, hydraulic drum brakes, counterweights and a heavy roll over protection system.
