ITEM 2.


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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

A large amount of orders shipped late in the third quarter of 1997
increased trade accounts receivable from the balance at December 31, 1996.  A
60% increase in orders backlog, from approximately $18 million at December 31, 
1996 to approximately $29 million at September 30, 1997, caused inventories 
and accounts payable to increase from their balances at December 31, 1996.  

Increased demand for Oilgear products resulted in the expansion of the
Fremont, NE plant and the improvement of certain manufacturing processes during
the first three quarters of 1997 caused an increase in additions to property,
plant and equipment when compared to the same period of 1996.  

Most of the additions of property, plant and equipment have been
financed with bank debt at September 30, 1997.  On October 30, 1997 the Company
closed on a $4,000,000 County of Dodge, Nebraska Variable Rate Demand
Industrial Revenue Bonds issue.  The proceeds were used to finance the building
addition in Fremont, NE and will be used to finance future purchases of
machinery and equipment at the Fremont, NE plant.

The US dollar continued to rise against other currencies during 1997
which resulted in a lower US dollar value of the assets and liabilities
converted from foreign currencies to US dollars.  The net change in these US
dollar amounts caused the change in the "Equity adjustments for foreign
currency translation" balance sheet line.  

The Company's management believes the Company has adequate means for
meeting future capital needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third quarter orders for 1997 are up approximately 12% from the third
quarter of 1996 and for the first three quarters of 1997 orders are up
approximately 12% from the first three quarters of 1996.  The backlog of orders
increased to nearly $29 million at the end of the third quarter from $21
million at the end of the third quarter of 1996.  

Unanticipated delays in major projects and labor shortages in certain
key areas are the principle reasons net sales decreased by approximately 2% in
the third quarter of 1997 and decreased by 4% in the first three quarters of
1997 when compared to the respective periods in 1996.  The Company began to
ship the delayed orders toward the end of the third quarter and net sales is
anticipated to remain strong during the fourth quarter of 1997.

The last sentence of the preceding paragraph contains a forward-looking
statement concerning the Company's sales prospects for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997.  This statement is based on the current expectations and beliefs
of management, and involves certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the Company's control, that could cause the Company's
actual sales to differ materially from what is expected.  In particular, the
following factors may affect the Company's sales in the fourth quarter: 
foreign currency exchange rates, the financial and business conditions of the
Company's customers and the state of the economy generally, unanticipated
technological developments made by the Company's competitors and the Company's
ability to maintain an effective sales force.

The decrease in net sales is the primary reason gross profit and
operating income decreased in the third quarter of 1997 and the first three
quarters of 1997 compared to the respective periods in 1996.  

Non-Operating income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively, consists of the following:
