             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             ----------------------------------------------------


    (1)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of Lufkin Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the "Company") for all periods presented.  The consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996, was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
included in the Company's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.  The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

         These statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements
for interim financial statements contained in Regulation S-X, which do not
require all the information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Therefore, these statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996.

    (2)  Consolidated inventories consist of the following:

                                12-31-96   3-31-97

                               =========  ========
 
     (3)  In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS No. 128 revises the
          methodology to be used in computing earnings per share (EPS) such that
          the computations required for primary and fully diluted EPS are to be
          replaced with "basic" and "diluted" EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by
          dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
          stock outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS is computed in the
          same manner as fully diluted EPS, except that, among other changes,
          the average share price for the period is used in all cases when
          applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive outstanding
          options.

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

(1)  Changes in Financial Condition

      The Company had working capital of $64,521,000 at March 31, 1997 compared
to $69,385,000 at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $4,864,000.  Accounts
receivable increased by approximately $8,458,000 to $41,930,000 at March 31,
1997 from $33,472,000 at December 31, 1996.  The increase in receivables was due
primarily to customer payment practices and the increased sales in the oil field
pumping unit and trailer product groups.  At March 31, 1997, inventory and
accounts payable balances were approximately $3,715,000 and $6,076,000 higher,
respectively, than their balances at December 31, 1996.  The increases in
inventories and accounts payable were primarily related to the increased sales
volumes of oil field pumping units and trailers.

(2)  Changes in Results of Operations

      Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased 7% from the first
quarter of 1996.  Sales by product group for the first quarter of 1996 and 1997
are as follows:

 
                                          THREE MONTHS ENDED

                                                 (In thousands)                
Oil field pumping units                        $12,824   $15,590         22

Foundry castings                                 8,149     8,431          3
Trailers                                        19,289    20,376          6   
                                                ------   ------- 
                                               $55,930   $60,041          7 
                                               =======  ========
 

       Sales volumes increased for oil field pumping units, foundry castings and
trailers for the three months ended March 31, 1997 versus the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Sales volumes of power transmission products remained
relatively constant.

       For the first quarter of 1997, gross profit as a percentage of sales was
13% compared to 16% for the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in gross profit
reflects a deterioration of gross margins for power transmission products as a
result of product mix and increased fixed manufacturing costs for both power
transmission products and oil field pumping units.

       Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $6,353,000 for
the first three months of 1997, up $781,000 from $5,572,000 for the same period
in 1996. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of increased
selling expenses associated with the Company's efforts to expand its presence in
new markets world wide.

       Other income increased modestly to $584,000 for the first quarter of 1997
compared to $543,000 for the first quarter of 1996.

       For the first three months of 1997, the Company recorded income tax
expenses of $815,000, down from $1,311,000 recorded for the same period in 1996.
The decrease in income tax expenses resulted from the decrease in pretax income.
 
       Net earnings for the first quarter of 1997 were $1,514,000 compared to
$2,436,000 for the first quarter of 1996.

       At March 31, 1997, the backlog was $101,232,000 compared to $99,691,000
at December 31, 1996.  Backlogs increased for oil field pumping units and power
transmission products while backlogs for foundry castings and trailers
decreased.
