                 September 30, 1996 and 1995.  

        Note 2 - In late May 1995, the company acquired Clark Equipment
                 Company (Clark).  The results of Clark's operations have
                 been included in the consolidated financial statements from
                 the acquisition date. The following unaudited pro forma
                 consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended
                 September 30, 1995, reflect the acquisition as though it
                 occurred at the beginning of the period after adjustments
                 for the impact of interest on acquisition debt, depreciation
                 and amortization of assets, including goodwill, to reflect
                 the preliminary purchase price allocation, and the
                 elimination of Clark's income from discontinued operations
                 related to its disposition of its investment in VME Group
                 N.V. (in millions except per share amounts):

                 For the nine months ended September 30              1995
                   Sales                                           $4,716
                   Net earnings                                       188
                   Earnings per share                               $1.78

                 It should be noted that the above pro forma amounts were
                 adversely affected by the loss on the sale of the company's
                 domestic paving business, which was a preacquisition
                 requirement to the Clark purchase.  The above pro forma
                 results are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
                 results would have been had the acquisition occurred at the
                 beginning of the period.  Further, the pro forma results are
                 not intended to be a projection of future results of the
                 combined companies, as it should be noted that the Club Car
                 portion of the Clark acquisition tends to concentrate the
                 majority of its yearly operating profit during the first
                 half of the year.

        Note 3 - On January 31, 1996, the company acquired for $94.8 million
                 of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, the
                 Steelcraft Division of MascoTech, Inc.  Steelcraft
                 manufactures a wide range of cold-rolled and galvanized
                 steel doors for use primarily in nonresidential
                 construction.  On August 27, 1996, the company acquired for
                 $34.2 million, substantially all of the assets of Zimmerman
                 International Corp. (Zimmerman).  Zimmerman manufactures
                 equipment and systems that assist in handling or lifting

                 tools, components and materials for a variety of industrial
                 operations.

                 All transactions have been accounted for as purchases, with
                 the results included since their respective acquisition
                 dates.  Pro forma results assuming the acquisitions had
                 occurred at the beginning of the year would not have been
                 significantly different than those reported.

        Note 4 - In the first quarter of 1996, the company accrued for the
                 realignment of its foreign operations, principally in
                 Europe.  These accruals were primarily for severance
                 payments and pension benefits associated with work force
                 reductions.  Also in the first quarter, accruals were
                 established for the exit or abandonment of selected European
                 product lines and the closing of a steel foundry.  These
                 accruals totalled approximately $30.4 million and were
                 charged to operating income.    

        Note 5 - On March 26, 1996, the company sold most of the assets of
                 the Pulp Machinery Division for approximately $122.3 million
                 to Beloit Corporation, a subsidiary of Harnischfeger
                 Industries, Inc., realizing a pretax gain of $45 million. 
                 In addition in March 1996, the company sold an investment
                 for a gain of $4.8 million.  

        Note 6 - On May 15, 1995, the company sold its domestic paving
                 equipment business to Champion Road Machinery Limited of
                 Canada.  The sale was a preacquisition requirement of the
                 United States Justice Department prior to the Clark
                 acquisition.  The company incurred a $7.1 million pretax
                 loss associated with this sale in the second quarter of
                 1995.

        Note 7 - On September 28, 1995, the company sold 2,878,008 shares of
                 its Common Stock held in treasury to the Clark Equipment
                 Company Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the LESOP),
                 for a price of $36.25 per share (the closing price of the
                 Common Stock on September 27, 1995 on the New York Stock
                 Exchange) or an aggregate of approximately $104.3 million. 
                 At September 30, 1996, approximately 1.6 million of these
                 shares remain unallocated and the amount paid by the LESOP
                 for those unallocated shares is classified as a reduction of
                 shareowners' equity pending allocation to participants.  The
                 unallocated shares will be allocated to participants in the
                 LESOP (which now includes employees of the company as well
                 as those of Clark) as provided under its terms.

        Note 9 - The company's investment in the Dresser-Rand partnership at
                 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $141.4 million
                 and $182.8 million, respectively.  The company owed
                 Dresser-Rand $4.8 million at September 30, 1996 and $88.9
                 million at December 31, 1995.  During the first quarter of
                 1996, Dresser-Rand distributed $100 million proportionally
                 to its partners (the company's share was $49 million) which
                 was offset against its advances to the partners.

                   Net sales of Dresser-Rand were $835.2 million for the
                   nine months ended September 30, 1996 and $749.6 million
                   for the nine months ended September 30, 1995; and gross
                   profit was $167.6 million and $150.3 million,
                   respectively.  Dresser-Rand's net income for the nine
                   months ended September 30, 1996 was $32.7 million, as
                   compared to $23.1 million for the nine months ended
                   September 30, 1995.

        Note 10 -  In August 1996, the company agreed to sell the remaining
                   assets of the Process Systems Group to Gencor Industries,
                   Inc., subject to certain closing conditions.  At
                   September 30, 1996, the net assets subject to sale
                   totalled $51.0 million and have been classified as
                   current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
                   Sheet.  The sale is expected to be completed during the
                   fourth quarter of 1996 at a price in excess of the
                   carrying value of the net assets.  The Process Systems
                   Group has been reported as part of the Engineered
                   Equipment Segment.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        


               Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 totalled $1.6 billion,
        representing a 4.9-percent increase over last year's third-quarter
        total of $1.5 billion.  Both quarters include three months of
        activity from Clark Equipment Company (Clark) which was acquired on
        May 31, 1995.  Net sales excluding Clark, for the 1996 third quarter
        approximated $1.2 billion, a 3.8-percent increase over last year's
        third quarter.

               Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
        totalled $148.7 million, and represents a 24.9-percent improvement
        over the $119.1 million reported for the third quarter of 1995. 
        Excluding Clark's results, operating income for the three months
        ended September 30, 1996 totalled $115.3 million which reflects a
        17.9-percent improvement over the prior year's third quarter without
        Clark.  

               The company reported third quarter net earnings of $81.9
        million, or 76 cents per common share, versus $61.8 million, or 58
        cents per common share for the three months ended September 30, 1995,
        reflecting an improvement of 32.5 percent.   Net earnings from Clark
        contributed approximately $5.6 million (or five cents per common
        share) to the company's results for the three months ended September
        30, 1996, as compared to net income of approximately $0.4 million (or
        less than one cent per common share), in the similar quarter of 1995. 
        The company's third-quarter net earnings, both including and
        excluding Clark's results, established a new third-quarter record.
        The company's strong third-quarter performance was based on both the
        solid results from Clark and from the company's historical lines of
        business.  These lines of business reflected continued strength in
        domestic markets (principally general industrial, pump and housing
        markets) combined with an improvement in some of the company's
        international operations.

               There were no partial liquidations of LIFO (last-in, first
        out) inventories during the third quarter of either 1996 or 1995. 
        Net gains from foreign exchange activity during the three months
        ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 benefitted net earnings by $0.7
        million (or less than one cent per common share) and $1.4 million (or
        one cent per common share), respectively.

               For the first nine months of 1996, net sales amounted to $5.0
        billion, a 21-percent improvement over last year's nine-month total. 
        Sales for the first three quarters of the year, excluding
        Clark, would have exceeded last year's comparable sales level by
        approximately five percent.  Operating income for the first nine
        months of 1996 totalled $475.6 million, which represents a 45-percent
        increase over the $327.0 million reported for the comparable 1995
        period.  Operating income for the first three quarters of 1996,

                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)


        without Clark, increased by approximately 18 percent compared to
        1995.  In addition to the inclusion of Clark results, the following
        noncomparable items (recorded during the first quarter of the year)
        affected the company's results for the nine months ended September
        30, 1996:

               o  the net gain on the sale of the Pulp Machinery Division
               generated net earnings  of approximately $28 million (or 26
               cents per common share);
               o  the charge to operating income for the realignment of the
               company's foreign operations (principally in Europe) totalled
               approximately $18 million.  This charge reduced net earnings
               by approximately $11 million (or 11 cents per common share);
               o  charges associated with the exit or abandonment of selected
               European product lines reduced operating income by
               approximately $7 million.  The after-tax effect of this item
               reduced net earnings by approximately $4.5 million (or four
               cents per share);
               o  charges incurred by Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company (IDP)
               for the closing of a steel foundry, reduced operating income
               by approximately $5.4 million.  This item affected the
               company's earnings by approximately $2 million (or two cents
               per share);
               o  a gain on the sale of an investment benefitted the results
               by $4.8 million ($3.0 million after-tax, or three cents per
               common share).

               The company reported net earnings of $248.7 million, or $2.32
        per common share, for the first nine months of 1996.  Net earnings
        for the first three quarters of 1995 totalled $174.7 million, or
        $1.65 per common share.  Net earnings from Clark for the first nine
        months of 1996 resulted in income of $30.2 million, or 28 cents per
        common share.  Net earnings from Clark and the loss associated with
        the sale of the company's domestic paving equipment business resulted
        in a net loss of $1.6 million, or two cents per share, during the
        first nine months of 1995. 

               A partial liquidation of LIFO inventories lowered cost of
        goods sold during the first nine months of 1996 by $2.3 million
        (approximately $1.4 million after-tax or one cent per common share). 
        There were no partial liquidations of LIFO inventories during the
        first nine months of 1995.  Foreign exchange losses for the first
        nine months of 1996 decreased net earnings by $1.7 million or two
        cents per common share as compared to foreign exchange losses of $2.9
        million or three cents per common share for the comparable 1995
        period.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)


               The ratio of cost of goods sold to sales for both the third
        quarter and first nine months of 1996 improved slightly over the
        comparable periods of 1995.  The ratio of administrative, selling and
        service engineering expenses to sales for both the third quarter and
        first nine months of the year improved over the comparable periods in
        1995.

               Other income (expense) aggregated $4.9 million of net income
        for the three months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $0.7
        million over the other income reported for 1995's third quarter. 
        This decline was the net effect of a reduction in the company's
        portion of earnings from its partially-owned equity companies and
        lower gains on foreign currency activity which were partially offset
        by higher gains from the sale of excess fixed assets.  For the first
        nine months of 1996, other income (expense) totalled $3.0 million of
        net income, which was $1.0 million lower than the $4.0 million of net
        income reported for the first three quarters of 1995.  This
        unfavorable change was primarily the net effect of two positive and
        two negative items.  The positive items included gains on the sale of
        an investment and excess fixed assets combined with a reduction in
        losses from foreign currency activities.  Offsetting these items were
        a marked reduction in the company's portion of earnings from its
        partially-owned equity companies and an increase in miscellaneous
        expenses.

               IDP is a partnership between Dresser Industries, Inc.
        (Dresser) and the company.  The IDP minority interest represents
        Dresser's interest in the operating results of IDP.  During the third
        quarter of 1996, the minority interest charge totalled $4.0 million,
        which indicates that IDP generated net earnings at the partnership
        level of approximately $8 million.  For the first three quarters of
        1996, the minority interest charge totalled $8.3 million, which
        indicates that IDP generated approximately $17 million of net
        earnings at the partnership level for the first nine months of the
        year.  For the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, the
        minority interest charge for IDP was $0.2 million and $5.6 million,
        respectively.

               The company's pretax profits for its 49-percent interest in
        Dresser-Rand Company (another partnership between Dresser and the
        company) totalled $8.5 million for the third quarter of the year and
        $16.0 million for the first nine months of 1996.  This compares to
        income of $6.0 million for the third quarter of 1995 and $11.3
        million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The third-
        quarter increase was attributable to improvement in Dresser-Rand's
        markets as compared to a year ago.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)


               Interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months
        of 1996 was $28.1 million and $91.5 million, respectively.  The
        interest expense reported for the quarter and the nine months of 1996
        was almost evenly divided between normal interest expense from the
        combined operations of Ingersoll-Rand and Clark, and interest expense
        associated with the Clark acquisition.  Interest expense for the
        third quarter of 1995 totalled $32.4 million and $59.4 million for
        the first nine months of 1995.

               The company's effective tax rate for the third quarter and
        first nine months of 1996 and 1995 was 37.0 percent.  The company's
        effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35.0 percent
        mainly due to the nondeductibility of goodwill associated with the
        Clark acquisition. In addition, the rate is also higher than the
        statutory rate because of state income taxes and some foreign
        earnings being taxed at higher rates.  The effective tax rate for the
        full year of 1995 was 37.0 percent.

               The consolidated results for both the third quarter and first
        nine months of the year benefitted from business improvements in a
        number of the company's domestic markets (including general
        industrial, pump and housing markets).  International business has
        generally reflected increases during the first nine months of 1996
        when compared to the comparable period in 1995.  Incoming orders for
        the third quarter of the year totalled $1.6 billion and represent an
        increase of 3.6 percent over the 1995 third quarter.  New orders
        associated with Clark totalled approximately $300 million.  Third
        quarter bookings, excluding Clark, were up 6.6 percent and reflected
        strong domestic growth and a decrease in selected international
        areas.  The company's backlog of orders at September 30, 1996,
        believed by it to be firm, was approximately $1.6 billion.  The
        company estimates that approximately 90 percent of the backlog will
        be shipped during the next twelve months.


        Liquidity and Capital Resources

               The company's financial position at September 30, 1996
        reflected a moderate change from December 31, 1995, which was
        primarily caused by the reclassification of $132.5 million of Medium
        Term Notes (issued to partially finance the Clark acquisition) from
        the long-term debt classification to current maturities of long-term
        debt, because repayment will occur during the third quarter of 1997. 
        A result of the reclassification is the reduction in working capital
        to $949.3 million at September 30, 1996, as compared to $1.0 billion
        at December 31, 1995.  In addition, the reclassification changed the
        company's current ratio to 1.7 to 1 at September 30, 1996 from a
        ratio of 1.8 to 1 at December 31, 1995.  However, it should be noted

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        that the company's debt-to-total capital ratio improved to 42 percent
        at September 30, 1996 from the 45 percent ratio at December 31, 1995.

               The company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $22.1
        million during the first nine months of 1996 to $115.2 million from
        $137.3 million at December 31, 1995.  In evaluating the net change in
        cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating, investing and
        financing activities, and the effect of exchange rate changes should
        be considered. Cash flows from operating activities provided $196.3
        million, investing activities used $157.6 million and financing
        activities used $69.8 million.  Exchange rate changes during the
        first nine months of 1996 increased cash and cash equivalents by $9.0
        million.

               Receivables totalled $1.1 billion at September 30, 1996, which
        represents a $24.6 million decrease from the amount reported at
        December 31, 1995.  This decrease was the net effect of dispositions,
        the classification of certain receivables as assets held for sale,
        aggressive collection efforts and translation partially offset by
        acquisitions and increased sales. 

               Inventories totalled $924.7 million at September 30, 1996,
        approximately $12.0 million higher than the level at December 31,
        1995.  The activity during the first three quarters of 1996
        represents the net effect of lower progress payments, increased sales
        and acquisitions, offset by dispositions, the classification of
        certain inventory as assets held for sale, and the effect of currency
        translation on the international inventories.

               Intangible assets increased approximately $52 million during
        the first nine months of 1996.  This net increase came from the
        acquisitions of Steelcraft and Zimmerman partially offset by
        amortization during the period.

               Long-term debt, including current maturities, at September 30,
        1996, totalled $1.4 billion.  The company's September 30, 1996 debt-
        to-total capital ratio was 42 percent, which reflects continuing
        improvement from the 45 percent ratio at December 31, 1995.  

               During the first nine months of 1996, foreign currency
        adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $13.5 million in
        shareowners' equity, caused by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
        against other currencies.  Currency changes in France, Germany,
        Italy, Japan, South Africa and Spain accounted for nearly all of this
        change.  The translation of accounts receivable and inventories were
        the principal balance sheet items affected by currency fluctuations
        in the first nine months of 1996.

        Environmental Matters

               Environmental matters at September 30, 1996 remain
        substantially unchanged from December 31, 1995.  The company has been
        identified as a potentially responsible party in environmental
        proceedings brought under both the federal Superfund law and state
        remediation laws, involving 38 sites within the United States.  For
        all sites, there are other potentially responsible parties, and in
        most instances, the company's involvement is minimal.  Although there
        is a possibility that a responsible party might have to bear more
        than its proportional share of site clean-up costs, if other
        responsible parties fail to make contributions, the company has not
        yet had, and to date there is no indication that it will have, to
        bear more than its proportional share of clean-up costs at any site. 
        The company also is engaged in site investigations and remedial
        activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at
        current and former manufacturing facilities.   Although uncertainties
        regarding environmental technology, state and federal regulations,
        insurance coverage and individual site information make estimating
        the liability difficult, management believes that the total liability
        for the cost of environmental remediation will not have a material
        effect on the financial condition, the results of operations,
        liquidity or cash flows of the company.  It should be noted that when
        the company estimates its liability for environmental matters, such
        estimates are based on current technologies and the company does not
        discount its liability or assume any insurance recoveries.


        Acquisitions

               On August 27, 1996, the company acquired the business and
        assets of Zimmerman International Corp., which manufactures equipment
        and systems that assist in handling or lifting tools, components and
        materials for a variety of operations.  The acquisition was paid for
        in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.  Zimmerman's
        business is now part of Tool and Hoist, a division of the Production
        Equipment Group.

               On January 31, 1996 the company acquired the Steelcraft
        Division of MascoTech, Inc., which manufactures a wide range of cold-
        rolled and galvanized steel doors for use primarily in nonresidential
        construction.  The acquisition was paid for in cash and the
        assumption of certain liabilities.  Steelcraft is now a division of
        the Architectural Hardware Group.

               In May 1995, the company acquired Clark Equipment Company for
        a cash price of $86 per share.  Clark's business is the design,
        manufacture and sale of compact construction machinery, asphalt
        paving equipment, axles and transmissions for off-highway equipment,
        and golf cars and utility vehicles.  The total purchase price for
        Clark was approximately $1.5 billion after taking into account
        amounts paid in respect of outstanding stock options and certain
        transactions.  Included among the assets acquired by the company
        (indirectly through the acquisition of the shares of Clark) are the
        Melroe Company, Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Company, Clark-Hurth
        Components and Club Car, Inc.  The Clark acquisition has been
        accounted for as a purchase and Clark's assets have been consolidated
        into the financial statements of the company.   


        Assets Held for Sale and Dispositions

               In August 1996, the company agreed to sell the remaining
        assets of the Process Systems Group to Gencor Industries, Inc.,
        subject to certain closing conditions.  At September 30, 1996, the
        net assets subject to sale totalled $51.0 million and have been
        classified as current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
        Sheet.  The sale is expected to be completed during the fourth
        quarter of 1996 at a price in excess of the carrying value of the net
        assets.  The Process Systems Group has been reported as part of the
        Engineered Equipment Segment.

               On March 26, 1996, the company sold most of the assets of the
        Pulp Machinery Division for approximately $122.3 million to Beloit
        Corporation, a subsidiary of Harnischfeger Industries, Inc.,
        realizing a pretax gain of $45 million.  In addition, in March 1996,
        the company sold an investment in CAPCO Automotive Products
        Corporation for a pretax gain of $4.8 million.


        Contingencies

               Clark sold Clark Material Handling Company (CMHC), its
        forklift truck business, to Terex Corporation (Terex) in 1992.  As
        part of the sale Terex and CMHC assumed substantially all of Clark's
        obligations for existing and future product liability claims
        involving CMHC products.  In the event that Terex and CMHC fail to
        perform or are unable to discharge the assumed obligations, Clark
        would be required to discharge such obligations.  While the aggregate
        losses associated with these obligations could be significant, the
        company does not believe they would materially affect the financial
        condition, the results of operation, liquidity or cash flows of the
        company.

        Review of Business Segments

               The Standard Machinery Segment reported sales of $694.3
        million during the third quarter of 1996, which is 5.6 percent above
        1995's third quarter level of $657.7 million.  This segment includes
        the operating results since acquisition of all Clark operations, with
        the exception of the Clark-Hurth unit. Excluding the sales from Clark
        units, third-quarter sales for this segment were $424.4 million,
        slightly above last year's third-quarter total.  Operating income for
        the quarter was $74.1 million and represents a 22-percent improvement
        over the $60.8 million reported for the three months ended September
        30, 1995.  Excluding the Clark operations, third-quarter operating
        income would have been $38.0 million, a five-percent improvement over
        1995's third quarter.  For the first nine months of 1996, the
        segment's net sales totalled $2.2 billion, which was 36.4 percent
        above the $1.6 billion reported for the comparable 1995 period. 
        Operating income for the first three quarters of 1996 totalled $227.0
        million, which was 56 percent higher than the $145.8 million reported
        for the comparable 1995 period.  Excluding the Clark operations,
        operating income for the first nine months of 1996 would have been
        $100.1 million, including approximately $16 million of noncomparable
        charges due to actions taken by the company during the first quarter
        of the year.  Stronger domestic and international markets helped the
        Air Compressor and Melroe groups report increased sales and operating
        income when compared to the third quarter of 1995.

               Engineered Equipment Segment's sales for the third quarter of
        the year totalled $301.2 million, which were $31.5 million lower than
        1995's third-quarter total of $332.7 million.  This segment's
        activities include the operating results of the Clark-Hurth unit, but
        exclude the results of the Pulp Machinery Division which was sold
        during the first quarter of 1996.  Excluding the Clark-Hurth sales,
        third-quarter sales for the segment were $223.1 million.  Operating
        income for the quarter totalled $8.7 million, a modest improvement
        over the $6.9 million reported for 1995's third quarter.  Clark-Hurth
        operated essentially at break-even for the third quarter of 1996,
        principally because of the poor economic situation in German markets. 
        For the first nine months of 1996, the segment reported sales of
        $977.4 million.  Operating income for the first three quarters of
        1996 was $72.1 million, as compared to $25.5 million for the
        comparable 1995 period.  Third quarter sales for IDP increased
        approximately five percent and operating income improved
        significantly over the amounts reported for the three months ended
        September 30, 1995.  IDP's sales for the first nine months of 1996
        were more than five-percent higher than last year's nine month number
        and their 1996 operating income reflected a significant improvement
        over the comparable 1995 period.  The remaining portion of the
        Process Systems Group reported a modest decrease in its third-quarter
        sales and operating income compared to 1995 third-quarter results.

                                     (continued)


               The Bearings, Locks and Tools Segment reported sales of $600.3
        million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, a 13.1-percent
        increase over last year's third-quarter total of $530.9 million. 
        Operating income was $76.4 million, as compared to the 1995 third-
        quarter level of $63.8 million.  For the first nine months of 1996,
        the segment reported net sales of $1.8 billion, 8.7 percent above the
        amount reported in the comparable period of 1995.  Operating income
        for the first three quarters of 1996, totalled $208.5 million
        compared to $186.8 million reported for the nine months ended
        September 30, 1995.

        of 1996 were approximately five percent higher than in the 1995 third
        quarter.  Sales of the Bearings and Components Group for the nine
        months ended September 30, 1996 reflected a minor improvement over
        1995's level with a comparable amount of operating income for both
        periods.

               Sales in the Architectural Hardware Group for the three and
        the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were over 30 percent above
        1995's levels, with approximately half of the increase attributed to
        the January 31, 1996 acquisition of Steelcraft.  Third-quarter
        operating income for the group also improved markedly over 1995's
        third quarter, which was depressed due to system integration
        problems.

               The Production Equipment Group's sales and operating income
        for the third quarter of 1996 were slightly above the amounts
        reported for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  Sales and
        operating income of the Production Equipment Group for the nine
        months ended September 30, 1996 decreased slightly from last year's
        amounts for the comparable period.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)


               The company cautions that a variety of factors could cause
        business conditions and results to differ from expected results
        contained in forward looking statements.  The company continues to
        include among those factors the following:  changes in the rate of
        economic growth in the United States and in other major international
        economies such as Germany; significant changes in trade, monetary and
        fiscal policies worldwide; currency fluctuations among the U.S.
        dollar and other currencies; demand for company products; distributor
        inventory levels; failure to achieve the company's productivity
        targets; and, competitor actions, such as unanticipated pricing
        actions or product and cost reduction strategies.

                                  EARNINGS PER SHARE                



        Note 1 -  Shares issuable under outstanding stock plans, applying the
                  "Treasury Stock" method, have been excluded from the
                  computation of primary earnings per share since such shares
                  were less than 1% of common shares outstanding.

             2 -  Net earnings per share of common stock computed on a fully
                  diluted basis are based on the average number of common
                  shares outstanding during each year after adjustment for
                  individual securities which may be dilutive.  Securities
                  entering into consideration in making this calculation are
                  common shares issuable under employee stock plans. 
                  Employee stock options outstanding are included in the
                  calculation of fully diluted earnings per share by applying
                  the "Treasury Stock" method quarterly.  Such calculations
                  are made using the higher of the average month-end market
                  prices or the market price at the end of the quarter, in
                  order to reflect the maximum potential dilution.

                             PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION


        Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

                 In the normal course of business, the company is involved in
        a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including
        proceedings for the clean-up of approximately 38 waste sites under
        federal Superfund and similar state laws.  In the opinion of the
        company, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material
        adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition,
        liquidity or cash flows.

                 On October 5, 1992, the United States Environmental
        Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Finding of Violation and Order for
        Compliance (Order) alleging that Clark failed to comply with the
        pretreatment regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 306 and 307
        of the Clean Water Act.  The Order alleged that certain metal
        finishing wastewaters generated at the Clark Melroe facility in
        Gwinner, North Dakota were discharged into the Publicly Owned
        Treatment Works (POTW) operated by the City of Gwinner in violation
        of the applicable pretreatment regulations.  The Order also alleged
        that Clark failed to comply with the discharge limitations for metal
        finishing wastewater and all related reporting requirements.  Clark
        has taken all actions required of it under the Order.

                 On April 29, 1994, in United States of America v. Clark
        Equipment Company d/b/a Melroe Company, the U.S. filed suit against
        Clark in the United States District Court for the District of North
        Dakota.  The complaint sought (i) to permanently enjoin Clark to
        comply fully with all applicable requirements of the Clean Water Act
        and Regulations and (ii) civil penalties against Clark of up to
        $25,000 per day for each violation for (a) alleged discharges of
        pollutants in violations of the effluent limitations contained in the
        pretreatment regulations, (b) a failure to submit timely and complete
        reports and (c) a failure to sample and analyze its regulated
        wastewater prior to discharge into the POTW.  On July 17, 1996, a
        stipulation of settlement between the U.S. and Clark was lodged with
        the court for a public notice and comment period.  In the
        stipulation, Clark agreed to pay a $250,000 civil penalty and the
        U.S. agreed to dismiss its suit, subject to a comment period, which
        expired on August 9, 1996.  The payment was made on September 5,
        1996, and the suit dismissed on October 9, 1996.
