Note 1.  Accounting Policies: The Consolidated Financial Statements for
the interim periods ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995 have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K.  Management
believes the statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the
interim periods.  Inventory values at interim reporting dates are based
upon estimates of the annual adjustments for taking physical inventory
and for the change in cost of LIFO inventories.

Note 2.  Income Taxes: Income tax expense is reported during the
interim reporting periods on the basis of the estimated annual
effective tax rate for the taxable jurisdictions in which the Company
operates.  In the first quarter of 1995, the Company recognized
approximately $11 million related to a reduction in its valuation
allowance for tax benefit carryforwards.

Note 3.  Common Stock Repurchase Program: In October 1994, the Board of
Directors authorized repurchase by the Company of up to 2,500,000
shares of its common stock.  During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company repurchased on the open market 96,100 shares at an aggregate
purchase price of $4 million, or average price of $40.75 per share.
The Company repurchased 1,575,400 shares at an aggregate purchase price
of $69 million, or average price of $43.57 per share in 1995 and
103,100 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $4 million, or average
price of $42.47 per share, in 1994.

Note 4.  Earnings per Share: Earnings per share of common stock are
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted-average
number of shares, which includes the exercise of certain stock options
granted to employees, was 40.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 and
41.3 million in the first quarter of 1995.

OVERVIEW
________

Sales of $1.32 billion in the first quarter of 1996 were essentially
level with net sales in the first quarter of 1995.  Sales in the first
quarter of 1996 reflected lower demand for heavy-duty truck engines,
particularly in North America, that was offset by strong demand for the
Company's midrange engines.  The Company expects a further softening in
the heavy-duty truck market in the second half of 1996 but anticipates
that sales in other markets will help offset the decline in heavy-duty
engines.  Shipments by engine family for the comparative periods were:

of 1996, compared to $67 million, or $1.63 per share, in the first
quarter of 1995.

First-quarter 1996 sales of $346 million to the heavy-duty truck market
were 13 percent lower than the first quarter of 1995, due to the
reduced market size in North America.

Midrange truck engine sales of $163 million in the first quarter of
1996 were 13 percent higher than the first quarter of 1995 due to
shipments for North American markets.  International markets were
essentially level with the first quarter of 1995.

In the first quarter of 1996, power generation sales of $260 million
were 6 percent lower than the first quarter of 1995.  Both recreational
vehicle and alternator markets were strong in the first quarter of
1996, while sales of generator sets to industrial and power generation
markets declined.

In the bus and light commercial vehicles market, sales of $202 million
in the first quarter of 1996 were 10 percent higher than the first
quarter of 1995.  The increase in sales in the first quarter of 1996
was due to higher shipments to Chrysler, which are expected to exceed
the 1995 record.  In the first quarter of 1996, engine shipments for
bus markets were essentially level with the first quarter of 1995.

Sales of $174 million to industrial markets in the first quarter of
1996 were 3 percent higher than first-quarter 1995, reflecting strong
sales for construction equipment in North America.  International sales
in the first quarter of 1996 were essentially flat compared to the
first quarter of 1995.

In the first quarter of 1996, sales of filtration products and
turbochargers were $139 million, 3 percent lower than the first quarter
of 1995 due primarily to the softer demand in North American heavy-duty
markets.

     Gross Profit
     ____________

The Company's gross profit percentage in the first quarter of 1996 was
24.0 percent of net sales compared to 25.7 percent in the first quarter
of 1995.  The reduction in gross margin in the first quarter of 1996
was due to several factors, the most significant of which was the
decline in heavy-duty engine production that resulted in lower fixed
cost absorption.  Gross margin also was affected by expenses associated
with the restructuring actions announced in the fourth quarter of 1995
and material cost increases.  Depreciation expense in the first quarter
of 1996 was $3 million higher than first-quarter 1995, reflecting
capital spending levels during the last two years to fund new products
and fuel systems.  Product coverage expense was 2.5 percent of sales in
both first-quarter periods.

     Operating Expenses
     __________________

Selling and administrative expenses of $180 million in the first
quarter of 1996 were 13.7 percent of net sales, level with the first
quarter of 1995 as a percent of net sales.  Expenditures associated
with the restructuring actions to relocate and consolidate operations
in the first quarter of 1996 offset a decrease in salaries and wages as
a result of employee separations.

Research and engineering expenses were $62 million in the first quarter
of 1996, compared to $66 million in the first quarter of 1995.  The
lower level of expenditures was primarily due to timing but also
reflected a reduction in the number of employees and lower costs.

Expense of $2 million from joint ventures and alliances primarily was
associated with product development and start-up costs of the joint
venture with Wartsila.  The Company entered this joint venture in the
second quarter of 1995.

     Interest and Other Income and Expense
     _____________________________________

Interest expense of $4 million in the first quarter of 1996 was level
with the first quarter of 1995.  Other income and expense includes a
variety of items, such as foreign currency exchange gains and losses,
royalty and technical fees, interest income, and gains and losses
associated with fixed asset dispositions.  In the first quarter of
1996, income of $3 million was due to technical fee income and proceeds
from the sale of excess property.

     Provision For Income Taxes
     __________________________

Income tax expense is based upon the estimated annual effective tax
rate for the taxable jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The
estimated effective tax rate for 1996 is 31.5 percent.  In the first
quarter of 1995, the Company recognized approximately $11 million
related to a reduction in its valuation allowance for tax benefit
carryforwards.

Cash increased $93 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $153
million.  Capital expenditures of $36 million in the first quarter of
1996 were slightly higher than the first quarter of 1995.  The Company
expects a significant increase in these expenditures during the
remainder of 1996.  Net cash from joint ventures and alliances of $26
million in the first quarter of 1996 included $39 million from
Consolidated Diesel Company for repayment of a temporary advance.

Total indebtedness (including the guaranteed notes of the ESOP Trust)
was $289 million at the end of the first quarter of 1996, compared to
$219 million at December 31, 1995.  The Company's debt-to-capital ratio
was 19 percent at March 31, 1996 and 16 percent at December 31, 1995.
