  Navistar International Transportation Corp. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Financial Statements  (Unaudited)


Note A.    Summary of Accounting Policies

     Navistar International Transportation Corp., hereafter referred to as
"the Company" and "Transportation" is the wholly owned subsidiary of
Navistar International Corporation, hereafter referred to as "Parent
Company."  See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting policies described in the 1995 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein. 

     In addition to the consolidated financial statements, Transportation
has elected to provide financial information in a format that presents the
operating results, financial condition and cash flow designated as
"Manufacturing" and "Financial Services."  As used herein and in the 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Manufacturing includes the consolidated
financial results of Transportation's  manufacturing operations with its
wholly owned financial services subsidiaries included on a one-line basis
under the equity method of accounting.  Financial Services includes the
consolidated financial results of Navistar Financial Corporation (Navistar
Financial),  its domestic insurance subsidiary and foreign finance and
insurance companies.

     In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
flow for the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.  Certain 1995 amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the 1996 financial
statements. 

Note B.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

     On the Statement of Cash Flow, "Acquisitions in excess of cash
collections" relating to Financial Services' wholesale notes and accounts
receivable are included on a consolidated basis as a change in operating
assets and liabilities under cash flow from operations and in Financial
Services as cash flow from investment programs.

     Consolidated interest payments during the first three months of 1996
and 1995 were $45 million and $40 million, respectively.  Pursuant to a Tax
Allocation Agreement, all U.S. income taxes are paid by the Parent Company
to the federal tax authorities.

Note C.  Income Taxes

     The Parent Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return
which includes Transportation and its U.S. subsidiaries.  Transportation
has a tax allocation agreement (Tax Agreement) with the Parent Company,
which requires Transportation to compute its separate federal income tax
expense based on its adjusted book income.  Any resulting tax liability is
paid to the Parent Company.  In addition, under the Tax Agreement,
Transportation is required to pay to the Parent Company any tax payments
received from its subsidiaries.  The effect of the Tax Agreement is to
allow the Parent Company rather than Transportation to utilize U.S.
operating losses and loss carryforwards (NOLs) generated in earlier years.

Note E.  Financial Instruments

     Navistar Financial enters into forward interest rate contracts to
manage its exposures to fluctuations in funding costs from the anticipated
securitization and sale of retail notes.  Gains or losses incurred with the
closing of these agreements are included as a component of the gain or loss
on the sale of receivables.

     During the first quarter of 1996, Navistar Financial did not enter
into any interest rate contracts.

     In February 1996, Navistar Financial entered into $200 million of
interest rate lock agreements maturing on May 31, 1996, on a Treasury note
maturing in 1998 related to the anticipated sale of retail receivables in
May or June of 1996.

Note F.  Legal Proceedings

     In May 1993, a jury issued a verdict in favor of Vernon Klein Truck &
Equipment, Inc. (Klein Truck) and against Transportation in the amount of
$11 million in compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive damages. 
Transportation appealed the verdict and in order to do so was required to
post a bond  collateralized with $30 million in cash.  In November 1994,
the Court of Appeals of the State of Oklahoma reversed the verdict and
entered judgment in favor of Transportation on virtually all aspects of the
case.  Klein Truck appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court where the case is
now pending.  The bond and the related collateral will be released when the
order of the Oklahoma Supreme Court is filed.

Note G.  Environmental Matters

     In the fourth quarter of 1994, Transportation recorded a charge for
potential clean-up costs related to two formerly owned businesses,
Wisconsin Steel and Solar Turbines, Inc. (Solar), as disclosed in Note 5 to
Transportation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  During the third quarter of
1995, Transportation and Solar Turbines, Inc. (Solar) entered into an
agreement providing for the joint funding of future site studies and
necessary corrective action at the facility.  The agreement also provides
for arbitration to resolve a dispute over past remediation costs incurred
by Solar.

     There has been no change in Transportation's estimate of the
anticipated clean-up costs of the Wisconsin Steel and Solar sites reported
at October 31, 1995.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

Consolidated

     Transportation reported net income of $6 million for the first quarter
ended January 31, 1996, compared with net income of $7 million for the same
period last year. 

     Consolidated sales and revenues for the first quarter of 1996 totalled
$1,427 million, a slight increase from the $1,413 million reported for the
comparable quarter in 1995. 

Manufacturing

     Manufacturing, excluding Financial Services, reported a loss before
income taxes of $18 million compared with break-even in the first quarter
of 1995.  The change reflects lower production caused by severe winter
weather and a decline in demand for trucks partially offset by higher
demand for mid-range diesel engines and the effect of various cost
improvement initiatives. 

Sales and revenues.  First quarter 1996 industry retail sales of  Class 5
through 8 trucks totalled 80,700 units, a decrease of 10% over 1995.  Class
8 heavy truck sales of 48,400 units during the first quarter of 1996 were
11% lower than the 1995 level of 54,400 units.  Industry sales of Class 5,
6 and 7 medium trucks, including school buses, declined 8% to 32,200 units. 
Industry sales of school buses, which accounted for 21% of the medium truck
market, increased 4%.

     Shipments of mid-range diesel engines by the Company to original
equipment manufacturers during the first quarter of 1996 totalled 37,900
units, a 15% increase from the same period of 1995.  Higher shipments to a
major automotive manufacturer to meet consumer demand for the light trucks
and vans which use this engine were the primary reason for the increase. 

     Manufacturing's sales of trucks, diesel engines and service parts for
the first quarter of 1996 totalled $1,362 million compared with $1,367
million reported for the same period in 1995. The Company maintained its
position as sales leader in the combined United States and Canadian Class 5
through 8 truck market with a 25.1% market share for the first quarter of
1996, a decline from the 26.3% market share reported in 1995. 

     Service parts sales of $177 million in the first quarter of 1996
declined slightly from the prior year's level. 

Operating Costs and Expenses.  Manufacturing gross margin was 12.2% of
sales for the first quarter of 1996 compared with 12.4% for the same period
in 1995.  The decrease in gross margin is primarily the result of weather
related costs and lower sales volumes partially offset by improved
operating efficiency. 

     Marketing and administrative expense increased to $65 million in 1996
from $62 million in the first quarter of 1995 primarily as a result of the
Company's acquisition of the American Transportation Corporation (AmTran)
in August 1995.  Engineering and research expense increased to $29 million
in the first quarter of 1996 from $24 million in 1995 reflecting investment
in the next generation of trucks and diesel engines as well as improvements
to existing products.

         <PAGE 9>

Financial Services

     Financial Services' pretax income for the first three months of 1996
was $27 million, an increase from the $11 million reported in 1995. 
Navistar Financial was responsible for the change which reflects higher
income on sales of retail notes and an increased volume of wholesale
financing.  During the first quarter of 1996, sales of receivables totalled
$525 million with a gain of $12 million compared with $315 million sold a
year ago with a small loss.  The improved gains on sales resulted from
higher margins on retail notes reflecting declining market interest rates. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES     

Consolidated

     Consolidated cash flow is generated from the manufacture, sale and
financing of trucks, diesel engines and service parts.  Total cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of the Company amounted to $384
million at January 31, 1996, $668 million at October 31, 1995 and $448
million at January 31, 1995. 

Manufacturing

     Cash used in operations during the first quarter of 1996 totalled $261
million, primarily from a net change in operating assets and liabilities of
$294 million.  The net change in operating assets and liabilities includes
a $99 million decrease in receivables offset by a reduction in accounts
payable of $114 million resulting from lower production, higher inventories
and a $182 million decrease in other liabilities.  The decline in other
liabilities is the result of the payment to employees as required by the
Company's profit sharing agreements as well as the timing of pension
funding.

     Investment programs used $23 million in cash to fund capital
expenditures for truck product improvement, to increase diesel engine
production capacity and to improve cost performance.  Financing programs
used $10 million for principal payments on debt.

     At January 31, 1996, Transportation had outstanding capital
commitments of $41 million.  The commitments include truck and engine
product development and ongoing facility maintenance programs. 
Transportation finances capital expenditures principally through internally
generated cash.  Capital leasing is used to fund selected projects based on
economic and operating factors. 

     It is the opinion of management that, in the absence of significant
unanticipated cash demands, current and forecasted cash flow will provide a
basis for financing operating requirements and capital expenditures. 

Financial Services

     Operations used $60 million in cash in the first quarter of 1996
primarily reflecting a payment to Manufacturing.  Investment programs
provided $299 million during this period principally as a result of
collections on, and sales of, retail notes.  Financing activities used cash
generated from investment programs to reduce debt by $229 million. 

     Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 1996 and
1995.  During the first quarter of 1996, Navistar Financial sold $525
million of retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through Navistar
Financial Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC), realizing net proceeds
from the sale of $495 million.  During the same period in 1995, Navistar
Financial sold $315 million of retail notes receivable with net proceeds of
$295 million.  In both years, the net proceeds were used for general
working capital purposes. 

     On November 14, 1995, NFRRC filed an additional registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the issuance from
time to time of an additional $2,000 million of asset-backed securities. 
At January 31, 1996, the remaining shelf registration available to NFRRC
for issuance of asset-backed securities was $2,905 million. 

<PAGE>
         <PAGE 10>

     At January 31, 1996, available funding under Navistar Financial's
amended and restated credit facility and the asset-backed commercial paper
facility was $384 million, of which $57 million was used to back short-term
debt at January 31, 1996.  The remaining $327 million, when combined with
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents made $333 million available to fund the
general business purposes of Navistar Financial at January 31, 1996.

     Management believes that collections on the outstanding receivables
portfolios, as well as funds available from various funding sources, will
permit the Financial Services subsidiaries to meet the financing
requirements of the Company's dealers and customers. 

Business  Environment

     Sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks are cyclical, with demand affected
by such economic factors as industrial production, construction, demand for
consumer durable goods, interest rates and the earnings and cash flow of
dealers and customers.  As a result of a general slowdown in economic
activity in the United States, the Class 5 through 8 truck market has
experienced a significant decline in the rate of new truck orders.  During
the latter half of 1995, this slowdown was responsible for an increase in
the cancellation of some existing orders which were originally placed
during 1994 and early 1995 in anticipation of continued growth in the
economy.  The decline in the number of new orders, in combination with high
retail delivery rates throughout 1995, has reduced the Company's backlog of
unfilled truck orders by 52% to 34,400 units at January 31, 1996 from
71,500 units at January 31, 1995. Accordingly, retail deliveries in 1996
will be highly dependent on the rate at which new truck orders are
received.  The Company will evaluate order receipts and backlog throughout
the year and will balance production with demand as appropriate.

     As a result of a decline in truck orders which reflect a softening of
certain key economic indicators in the truck industry, Transportation
currently projects 1996 United States and Canadian Class 8 heavy truck
demand to be 173,000 units, a 24% decrease from 1995.  Class 5, 6 and 7
medium truck demand, including school buses, is forecast at 146,500 units,
a 4% decrease from 1995.  Diesel engine shipments by Transportation to
original equipment manufacturers in 1996 are expected to be approximately
157,000 units, unchanged from 1995.  Transportation's service parts sales
are expected to grow 5% to $766 million.
