Hello all, I've just traded for a 1927 Armleder and will be looking for some help. Not sure where the best forum or place is to ask knowledge folks such as you all a few questions. Thanks

Would first try the AACA club, their nat’l library may have info, their forum would have members to perhaps help.

Never heard of an Armleder. It appears to be a well-engineered vehicle. Buda engines were once widely used in stationary applications. Some Buda info may be available at smokestack.com

I have an early 1950's Motor's truck and Tractor Repair Manual. It references Armleder trucks but only for 1936, must have been the last year of production. At that time they were using various Hercules engines. I also have a Dyke's Encyclopedia dated 1927 that lists various Armleder trucks
from 2 1/2 ton up to 4 ton using mostly Buda engines and one Continental. There is a little bit of info on the Buda engines and a little bit more on the Continental. Let me know if there is any specific info that you need.

How about the Antique Truck Historical Society? I went to one of their meets with a friend a few years back. They had lots of trucks of all kinds. I think there are Chapters all around the U.S. I just searched for "Antique Truck Club" on the Internet and got a lot of "hits".

Found some tidbits on the earlier ('15-'23) Armleder trucks. Hopefully the AACA library has some literature in their files.

Thanks guys! Was told this was a 27 but not sure how to tell for sure. Truck is less than 20 miles from the business who bought it brand new! It has stayed local all these years.

In reading different sources there is some conflicting information Says the company was sold in 1927
Here is some information from a German website translated via Google
https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.go ... r_pto=wapp
Here are some pictures
This link
http://tlaferriere.readyhosting.com/arm ... r_sale.htm has lots of closeups - expect the truck was sold but could be a reference
some additional info
