Warren E. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. agreed to buy Oakwood Homes Corp. out of bankruptcy protection for $373 million and combine it with Clayton Homes Inc. to create the biggest U.S. mobile-home maker.

Buffett, who bought Clayton Homes two months ago for $1.7 billion, had contributed to a $215-million program to finance Oakwood, based in Greensboro, N.C., during bankruptcy proceedings.
