The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the 
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December
31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform with the presentation used in 1996.


2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average 
number of outstanding common shares during the period plus, when their effect 
is dilutive, common stock equivalents consisting of certain shares subject to 
stock options.  Fully diluted earnings per share additionally assumes the 
conversion of outstanding Series C ESOP and Series D preferred stock and the 
contingent issuance of common stock to satisfy the Series C ESOP preferred 
stock redemption price guarantee when their effect is dilutive.  The number 
of contingent shares used in the fully diluted calculation is based on the 
common stock market price on June 28, 1996, and the number of preferred shares 
held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that were allocated to 
participants' accounts as of June 30 of each of the respective years.  

The primary weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding 
(in thousands) was 35,099 and 35,081 for the three- and six-month periods ended 
June 30, 1996, and 34,987 and 34,952 for the three- and six-month periods ended 
June 30, 1995.  The fully diluted weighted average number of common and 
equivalent shares outstanding (in thousands) was 41,989 and 37,543 for the 
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, and 41,928 and 41,901 for 
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  

Net earnings used in the computations of primary earnings per share are 
reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements.  Net earnings used in the 
computation of fully diluted earnings per share are reduced by amounts 
representing the preferred stock dividends when their effect is antidilutive 
and amounts representing the additional after-tax contribution that would be 
necessary to meet ESOP debt service requirements under an assumed conversion 
of the Series C ESOP preferred stock when their effect is dilutive.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995 

Sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $536.4 million compared to 
$506.3 million in the same 1995 quarter.  North American replacement
sales increased 3 percent to $211.2 million, from $205.1 million
in the second quarter of 1995.  The increase was attributable to the
integration of the Sealed Power acquisition at the customer level and
implementation of a value based selling reengineering initiative. 
International replacement sales increased 23.8 percent to $151.5 million
from $122.4 million in the second quarter of 1995.  Excluding the 1995
acquisitions of Bertolotti in Italy and Centropiezas in Puerto Rico,
international replacement sales increased 4 percent.   North American
original equipment sales decreased 3 percent to $118.2 million from
$121.8 million in the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease was 
attributable to the divestiture of Precision Forged Products Division in
April 1995, offset slightly by the acquisition of Seal Technology
Systems in September 1995.  Excluding this divestiture and acquisition,
sales were flat over prior year.  International original equipment sales
decreased 3 percent to $55.5 million, from $57.1 million in the same 1995
quarter.  The sales decrease was primarily due to unfavorable foreign
exchange with an actual $2 million increased volume over prior year. 

The Company's operating earnings increased $6.3 million to $36.3 million
when compared to the second quarter of 1995.  The operating margin
increased from the second quarter of 1995 to 6.8 percent.  The Company
attributes this increase to improved North American manufacturing cost
performance.  

Pretax earnings increased to $24.8 million for the 1996 second quarter
compared to $22.8 million for the same 1995 quarter.  The increase is
attributable to increased operating earnings partially offset by additional
interest expense due to higher levels of debt.  Net earnings were $15.8
million or $.36 per common share on a fully diluted basis in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to $14.2 million or $.33 per common share in the
second quarter of 1995.  



<PAGE> 7

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1995 

Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 increased by 3 percent
to $1,058.3 million from $1,030.6 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1995.  North American replacement sales were essentially flat
over the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  International replacement
sales increased 28 percent to $306.4 million from $238.7 million in the
same prior year period.  Excluding the 1995 acquisitions of Bertolotti in
Italy and Centropiezas in Puerto Rico, international replacement sales
increased 5 percent.  North American original equipment sales decreased
14 percent to $231.0 million from $268.0 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease was attributable to the divestiture of
Precision Forged Products Division in April 1995, offset slightly by the
acquisition of Seal Technology Systems in September 1995.  Excluding this
divestiture and acquisition, sales decreased 7 percent over prior year.  
International original equipment sales decreased 3 percent to $114.5
million, from $118.6 million in the same 1995 period.  The sales decrease
was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange and a weakness in the
engine bearing product line in the French automotive market.  

The Company's operating earnings increased to $65.5 million from $62.1
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The operating margin
slightly increased from the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 to 6.2
percent.  The Company attributes this increase to second quarter improved
North American manufacturing cost performance.  

Pretax earnings decreased to $41.8 million from $45.5 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in pretax earnings is
attributable to additional interest expense due to higher levels of debt
to finance the Bertolotti and Centropiezas acquisitions and increased levels
of working capital.  Net earnings were $26.4 million or $.59 per common
share on a fully diluted basis for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996
compared to net earnings of $28.4 million or $.66 per common share for 
the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital was impacted by a $21.7 million increase in accounts 
receivable during the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to an
increase of $54.0 million in 1995.  This decrease in accounts receivable
growth is primarily due to a sales policy change in the North American
replacement business.  In addition inventories decreased $25.5 million
in the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to an increase of
$54.0 million in 1995.  The Company expects that available cash and
existing short-term lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its
normal operating requirements. 

Net cash used for investing activities consists primarily of capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment to implement process
improvements, information technology and new product introductions.

Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Western Division seeking
