                             Ingersoll-Rand Reports

                         40-Percent Gain in Net Earnings

                          for the First Quarter of 1995



          Woodcliff Lake, N.J., April 25, 1995 -- Ingersoll-Rand, a New Jersey-

based manufacturing company, today reported net earnings for the first three

months of the year of $46.3 million, or 44 cents per share.  This represents a

40-percent increase - or $13.3 million - over 1994's first-quarter net earnings

of $33.0 million, or 31 cents per share.

          A quarterly comparison of key financial data between the periods

follows:

- -    Net sales for the first quarter totalled $1.2 billion, reflecting a 17.3-

     percent increase over the amount reported for the first three months of

     1994.

- -    Operating income for the quarter totalled $89.2 million, a 48.3-percent

     increase over 1994's first quarter total of $60.1 million.

- -    Bearings, Locks and Tools Segment sales for the first quarter of the year

     were $554.4 million, up 13.7 percent from the prior year.  Operating

     income totalled $55.2 million, a $7.8 million improvement over last year's

     strong first quarter total of $47.4 million.  The Bearings and Components

     and Production Equipment groups reported first quarter sales and operating

     income improvements when compared to 1994's first quarter.  Door Hardware
<PAGE>
     Group's sales and operating performance were below last year's strong

     first quarter results, primarily due to the negative effect of higher

     interest rates on the housing industry.

          James E. Perrella, chairman and chief executive officer of the

company stated, "Total bookings for the quarter were $1.4 billion and

established a new record for the company.  The new order rate also represented

a 22-percent increase over 1994's first quarter total of $1.1 billion.  Almost

every operation within the company reflected improvements in bookings for the

first quarter of 1995, both domestically and internationally."

          Mr. Perrella also said, "The company's strong first quarter

performance gives us added incentive to complete our announced acquisition of

Clark Equipment Company in a timely manner."

                       INGERSOLL-RAND EXTENDS TENDER OFFER
                              THROUGH MAY 12, 1995


     Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey (May 4, 1995) -- Ingersoll-Rand Company today

announced that it has extended the period during which its tender offer for

shares of Clark Equipment Company common stock will remain open to 5:00 P.M.,

New York City time, on Friday, May 12, 1995.

     The extension has been made in order to allow additional time for the

completion of the review of the transaction by the Antitrust Division of the

Justice Department.  As previously announced, the Justice Department has

requested additional information in connection with Ingersoll-Rand's Hart-

Scott-Rodino filing.  Ingersoll-Rand has been engaging in discussions with the

Justice Department and expects to satisfactorily resolve any anti-trust

concerns.

     As of the close of business on May 3, 1995, approximately 3,310,000

million shares of Clark common stock had been validly tendered in connection

with the offer.
