I have recently come across 4 Buda 6DTMR317 engines that are still in their original crates. They have never been used. I am just trying to gather as much information as I can, so any information is good information. If anyone knows who I could get in touch with to find out what these are worth and if there is anybody who would be interested in having these.

I had one a few years back that had less than 100 hours on it and I finally donated it to a museum as it appeared to have no actual cash value. |

I am looking for a 1917 Buda 3 3/4 X 5 1/8 blind head, for a car. Some were used in firetrucks; WU?
(Sorry to highjack the thread)

Sorry about this late post; haven't been in site lately.
BRAD: If your contact with WC doesn't work out, or if he doesn't take them all, try posting on the const eqpmt/heavy eqpmt sites like hcea etc; people looking for 6DT317's or parts may be interested (I understand the "M" is marine, but I don't know what the "R" means; blown?? reverse gear trans?? It'd be a shame to scrap them.
JOHN: Didn't think Buda got into cars, but one catalog shows them in Apperson and National (didn't look further).
Assuming you're looking for WU, did you know there was also a WTU of same b/s?? Have no idea of difference, but head might be the same.
Buda built a number of these: CU/CTU, HU/HTU, etc, generally same b/s; to date been unable to get definitive answer as to difference (not necessarily "T=truck" as Apperson 4-45 shows with both YU and YTU). I assume you've checked with Buda in shreveport and Jim Paulsen in Olympia (emailed both re' the "T" question but got no replies). |

Hey Guys, I picked up the Buda engines from the Vanderveens on tuesday. Mr V is quite a down-to-earth kinda guy and hope to keep in touch with him. He's what they used to call a real gentleman who is a man of his word. |
