 Topic: Buda engines
Posted: 7 hours 25 minutes ago at 4:20pm |

I’m reading a Allis Chalmers construction machinery book that my brother loaned me. Very interesting and I often wondered where the Buda name came from. They originated in Buda Illinois but outgrew their plant in 1891 and moved to Harvey Illinois. They began building Diesel engines in 1926. When AC purchased Buda in 1953, the Lanova or energy cell engines were being produced that were offered in WD45’s and then in the D17, D19. Apparently I wasn’t paying attention in history class because I was unaware of Buda Illinois. Yeah, I’m kinda embarrassed lol.

Buda IL is about 30 minutes from me, and there is nothing I've ever seen left of Buda Mfg. They were big into rail cars I think.

People are very devout to those engines, especially in asia. They call it buddhism. I think the cold is starting to affect my brain

Yes, they were big into building items for the railroad. Also tow tractors for the airline industry and the Chore boy which was a material handling product. A heavy duty 3 wheel engine powered cart that often carried materials through manufacturing plants.
