               BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                       ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Effective May 23, 1996, Bucyrus-Erie Company changed its name to Bucyrus
   International, Inc. (the "Company").  In the opinion of the Company, the 
   consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
   (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments as stated
   in Note 4) necessary to present fairly the financial results for the
   interim periods.  Certain items are included in these statements based on
   estimates for the entire year.  Also, certain warranty expenses
   previously included in product development and selling expense are now
   included in cost of products sold, and certain engineering expenses
   previously included in cost of products sold are now included in product
   development expense.  Reclassifications have been made to the 1995
   consolidated condensed financial statements to present them on a basis
   consistent with the current year.

2. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
   these interim consolidated condensed financial statements.  Therefore,
   these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995
   annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
   Commission on April 1, 1996.

3. Inventories consist of the following:

                                     June 30,       December 31,
                                       1996             1995    
                                         (Dollars in Thousands)

   Raw materials and parts           $ 11,884         $ 12,138
   Costs relating to
     uncompleted contracts              8,044            5,861
   Customers' advances offset
     against costs incurred on
     uncompleted contracts             (4,104)          (2,440)

     replacement parts)                43,383           44,496

                                     $ 70,458         $ 73,566
                                                              

4. Reorganization items included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of
   Operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 consist of
   additional legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the
   bankruptcy proceedings in 1994.

5. Effective May 23, 1996, the Company instituted the 1996 Employees' Stock
   Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  Under the Plan, 300,000 shares of
   restricted stock and options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's
   common stock ("Common Stock") have been granted.  The grants under the
   Plan result in additional compensation expense to the Company. 
   Compensation related to future periods is shown as an offset to
   additional paid-in capital within common shareholders' investment in the
   Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

6. Net earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted
   average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Common
   stock equivalents are not significant.

7. Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("JNL"), currently the holder of
   approximately 41.31% of Common Stock, has filed a claim (the "JNL 503(b)
   Claim") against the Company for reimbursement of approximately $3,300,000
   for professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the
   Company's chapter 11 proceedings pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
   Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to a settlement agreement dated May 23, 1995,
   JNL agreed that, in the event that the JNL 503(b) Claim is allowed in
   whole or in part by the Bankruptcy Court, in lieu of requiring payment of
   any award in cash, JNL will accept payment in Common Stock at a price
   equal to $5.6375 per share (the average closing price of such stock on
   the NASDAQ Stock Market on June 20, 21, 22, 23 and 26, 1995).  By order
   dated June 3, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that JNL would be awarded
   the sum of $500.  JNL has appealed the decision.  The Company has been
   advised by legal counsel that in said counsel's opinion the JNL 503(b)
   Claim is without merit; however, the ultimate outcome of this matter
   cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision for any loss
   that may result upon resolution of this matter has been made in the
   consolidated condensed financial statements.

   Concurrently with the trial of the JNL 503(b) Claim, the Bankruptcy Court
   considered the final fee application of the law firm of Milbank, Tweed,
   Hadley & McCloy ("Milbank"), who rendered services as reorganization
   counsel for the Company in connection with the chapter 11 proceedings. 
   The Milbank claim was approximately $2,330,000, of which 80% had
   previously been paid by the Company on an interim basis.  By order dated
   June 3, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that Milbank would receive 80%
   of the claimed amount as full and final compensation, thereby resulting
   in no further payments being due and owing to Milbank on the claim.  JNL
   appealed the decision of the Bankruptcy Court not to order disgorgement
   of amounts already paid to Milbank.  Milbank has not appealed the
   decision.

   The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Boonville Mining Services, Inc.
   ("BMSI"), was a defendant in an amended complaint filed in the Marion
   County Common Pleas Court, Marion County, Ohio on September 24, 1992 by
   Dresser Industries, Inc. and Global Industrial Technologies, Inc. (the
   "Plaintiffs"), alleging that BMSI's purchase of drawings and other assets
   of C&M of Indiana, a division of Construction and Mining Services, Inc.,
   and BMSI's use of these and other drawings allegedly acquired
   subsequently, constituted a misappropriation of the Plaintiffs' trade
   secrets relating to Marion Power Shovel Company, a division of Global
   Industrial Technologies, Inc.  BMSI had denied these claims.  On June 17,
   1996, BMSI settled the litigation which will result in an immaterial
   effect on earnings.  

   The Company was one of fifty-three entities who had been named by the
   United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as potentially
   responsible parties ("PRPs") with regard to the Millcreek dumpsite, Erie
   County, Pennsylvania, which is on the National Priorities List of sites
   for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
   and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.  The Company was so named as a
   result of allegations that it disposed of foundry sand at the Millcreek
   dumpsite in the 1970's.  The United States Department of Justice filed
   suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of
   Pennsylvania in 1989 against the Millcreek site owners and the haulers
   who allegedly transported waste to the site for recovery of past cleanup
   costs incurred at the site.  In May, 1996, the Company paid the United
   States government $600,000 in settlement of the aforementioned cost
   recovery action.  This amount was previously included in liabilities in
   the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.  In addition, the EPA has
   ordered the Company and certain other PRPs to perform the soil capping
   portion of the remediation at the Millcreek site.  The anticipated
   remediation costs to be incurred by the Company are included in
   liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

               BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   The following information is provided to assist in the understanding of
Bucyrus International, Inc.'s (the "Company") operations for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  

   The reorganization of the Company under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
was effective December 14, 1994 (the "Effective Date").  The reorganization
was accounted for using the principles of fresh start reporting, as required
by AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code".  Under the principles of fresh
start reporting, total assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization
value, with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable tangible and
intangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value, and liabilities
were adjusted to the present values of amounts to be paid where appropriate. 
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the related
amortization charges associated with the fair value adjustments.

Net Sales

   Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$69,364,000 and $130,820,000, respectively, compared with $55,709,000 and
$112,582,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. 
Sales of repair parts and services for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996 were $41,954,000 and $81,797,000, respectively, which is an
increase of 6.9% and 5.0% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995,
respectively.  Both increases were primarily due to increased sales at
Minserco, Inc., a mining service subsidiary of the Company.  Machine sales for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were $27,410,000 and
$49,023,000, respectively, which is an increase of 66.5% and 41.4% from the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  Both increases were
due to increased blast hole drill and electric mining shovel sales, primarily
in copper markets. 

Cost of Products Sold

   Cost of products sold for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $57,360,000
or 82.7% of net sales compared with $47,783,000 or 85.8% of net sales for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cost of
products sold was $107,023,000 or 81.8% of net sales compared with $97,477,000
or 86.6% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Included in
cost of products sold for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 was
$2,912,000 and $5,717,000, respectively, as a result of the fair value
adjustment to inventory.  This adjustment was made in accordance with the
principles of fresh start reporting adopted in 1994 and was charged to cost of
products sold as the inventory was sold.  Excluding the effect of the
inventory fair value adjustment, cost of products sold for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1995 was 80.5% and 81.5%, respectively.  The decrease in
gross margin percentage for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, not including
this fair value adjustment, was primarily due to higher machine sales which
have a lower gross margin than parts and service sales.

Product Development, Selling, Administrative and Miscellaneous Expenses

   Product development, selling, administrative and miscellaneous expenses
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $8,919,000 or 12.9% of net sales
compared with $8,689,000 or 15.6% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30,
1995.  The amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
$17,854,000 or 13.6% of net sales and $16,427,000 or 14.6% of net sales,
respectively.  The dollar increases in 1996 were primarily due to higher
product development and service costs to provide increased support to
customers.

Interest Expense

   Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$2,093,000 and $4,173,000, respectively, compared with $1,509,000 and
$3,016,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. 
The increases in 1996 were primarily due to an increase in the interest rate
on the Secured Notes due December 14, 1999 ("Secured Notes") from 10.5% to 13%
effective December 14, 1995.  Also, interest on the Secured Notes was accrued
on a higher principal balance in 1996 since all interest to date has been paid
in kind.  The Company has the option of paying interest on the Secured Notes
in cash at 10.5% or in kind at 13%.  For the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, interest was accrued at 13% since the Company paid this
interest in kind.  During the third quarter, the Company will be evaluating
the possibility of paying the December 31, 1996 interest payment in cash.

Income Taxes

   Income tax expense consists primarily of foreign taxes at applicable
statutory rates.  

Net Earnings (Loss)

   Net earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$612,000 and $910,000, respectively, compared with a net loss of $2,985,000
and $5,044,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995,
respectively.  The increases in net earnings were primarily due to increased
sales volume and improved gross margin, offset by increased interest expense. 
Net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 includes
$2,510,000 and $4,878,000 (net of income taxes), respectively, of the
inventory fair value adjustment related to fresh start reporting which was
charged to cost of products sold.  Non-cash depreciation and amortization
charges included in net earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1996 were $1,293,000 and $2,564,000, respectively, compared with $1,224,000
and $2,417,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1995.  

Backlog and New Orders

   The Company's consolidated backlog on June 30, 1996 was $184,117,000
compared with $118,024,000 at December 31, 1995 and $71,576,000 at June 30,
1995.  Machine backlog at June 30, 1996 was $92,959,000, which is an increase
of 41.3% from December 31, 1995 and an increase of 441.2% from June 30, 1995. 
The increases in machine backlog were in both electric mining shovel and blast
hole drill volume.  Repair parts and service backlog at June 30, 1996 was
$91,158,000, which is an increase of 74.6% from December 31, 1995 and an
increase of 67.6% from June 30, 1995.  The increases in repair parts and
service backlog were primarily at foreign locations and reflect new orders
related to long-term maintenance and repair contracts which will be completed
in the next three to five years.

   New orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$53,628,000 and $196,913,000, respectively, which is an increase of 11.5% and
76.1% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  New
machine orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$18,182,000 and $76,172,000, respectively, which is an increase of 688.1% and
190.8% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  The
increases in new machine orders were in both electric mining shovel and blast
hole drill volume and represent strong machine sales activity, primarily
related to copper markets.  New repair parts and service orders for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were $35,446,000 and $120,741,000,
respectively, which is a decrease of 22.6% and increase of 41.0% from the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  The decrease for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was due to reduced repair parts orders and
reduced maintenance and repair contract orders at foreign locations.  The
increase for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily due to large
maintenance and repair contract orders at foreign locations in the first
quarter of 1996.  Blast hole drill and electric mining shovel inquiries from
South America and China remain steady.  The recent decline in copper prices is
not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the short-term.  The
North American market for electric mining shovels and blast hole drills
remains steady in iron ore, copper and the low sulphur coal fields in the
Western United States.  Pricing on new machines has been improving recently
while pricing on repair parts has remained steady.

Capitalization

   The long-term debt to equity ratio as of June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 was 1.8 to 1 and 1.7 to 1, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Working capital and current ratio are two financial measurements which
provide an indication of the Company's ability to meet its short-term
obligations.  These measurements at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were
as follows:

                                                  June 30,      December 31,
                                                    1996            1995    
                                                    (Dollars in Thousands)

Working capital                                   $ 74,523        $ 65,330
Current ratio                                     2.5 to 1        2.2 to 1

   A portion of the unrestricted cash at the foreign subsidiaries is not
readily repatriatable because it is required for working capital purposes at
these respective locations.

   Approximately $2,900,000, including accrued interest, is required to be
refunded to the Internal Revenue Service for an excess refund received in
1993.  The Company reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
which allows for semi-annual payments over five years at 8% interest
commencing September 15, 1996.  

   Equipment Assurance Limited has pledged $1,056,000 of its cash to secure
its reimbursement obligations for outstanding letters of credit at June 30,
1996.  This collateral amount is classified as Restricted Funds on Deposit in
the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

   The Company has a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank
One, Milwaukee, National Association ("Bank One").  The Credit Agreement, as
amended, contains a credit facility for working capital and general corporate
purposes (the "Loan Facility"), a letter of credit facility (the "L/C
Facility") and a project financing loan facility (the "Project Financing
Facility").  Under the Loan Facility, the Company may borrow up to $2,500,000,
provided that it meets certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization tests, as defined.  Borrowings under the Loan Facility mature
on April 30, 1998.  Under the L/C Facility, Bank One has agreed to issue
letters of credit through April 30, 1998 in an aggregate amount not in excess
of $15,000,000 minus the then outstanding aggregate borrowings by the Company
under the Loan Facility, provided that no letter of credit may expire after
April 30, 1999.  Under the Project Financing Facility, Bank One may make
project financing loans to the Company from time to time.  Borrowings under
the Project Financing Facility bear interest at the Company's option either at
a rate equal to Bank One's reference rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a
variable margin.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a
security interest on substantially all of the Company's property (other than
real estate).  At June 30, 1996, the Company had $293,000 of borrowings
outstanding under the Loan Facility and $11,720,000 of the L/C Facility was
being used.  

   Under the Project Financing Facility, the Company has a line of credit
for $18,500,000 to support two current orders.  Usage is based on the
inventory being financed and any accounts receivable relating to such project. 
Availability at June 30, 1996 is $11,000,000.  There were no borrowings under
the Project Financing Facility at June 30, 1996.

   The agreements relating to the Secured Notes and the Credit Agreement
permit additional project financing to manufacture mining machinery or other
products pursuant to binding purchase contracts.  Project financing borrowings
are secured by the inventory being financed and any accounts receivable
relating to such project.  Project financing borrowings mature not later than
the date of the final payment by the customer under the applicable purchase
contract.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had $5,403,000 of outstanding project
financing borrowings not related to the Project Financing Facility.  These
borrowings are classified as Short-Term Obligations in the Consolidated
Condensed Balance Sheets.

   The Company believes that current levels of cash and liquidity, together
with funds generated by operations, funds available from its Credit Agreement
and other project financing arrangements will be sufficient to permit the
Company to satisfy its debt service requirements and fund operating activities
for the foreseeable future.  The Company is subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties that are beyond its control. 
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's financial resources
will be sufficient for the Company to satisfy its debt service obligations and
fund operating activities under all circumstances.

   At June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $1,603,000 of open
capital appropriations.  In July, the Company initiated a $3,000,000 expansion
of its service shop facility in Chile, which will be financed primarily with a
local bank in Chile.  In addition, the Company commenced the $2,200,000 first
phase of a potential $14,000,000 machine shop tool modernization project.  The
first phase equipment, together with $2,800,000 of machine tools previously
ordered, will be financed or leased.  The modernization project is expected to
reduce operating costs, improve parts and mining machine production cycle
times and reduce work in process inventory levels.

                                  PART II
                             OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

       Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("JNL"), currently the holder
       of approximately 41.31% of the Company's common stock ("Common
       Stock"), has filed a claim (the "JNL 503(b) Claim") against the
       Company for reimbursement of approximately $3,300,000 for
       professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the
       Company's chapter 11 proceedings pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
       Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to a settlement agreement dated May 23,
       1995, JNL agreed that, in the event that the JNL 503(b) Claim is
       allowed in whole or in part by the Bankruptcy Court, in lieu of
       requiring payment of any award in cash, JNL will accept payment in
       Common Stock at a price equal to $5.6375 per share (the average
       closing price of such stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on June 20,
       21, 22, 23 and 26, 1995).  By order dated June 3, 1996, the
       Bankruptcy Court ruled that JNL would be awarded the sum of $500. 
       JNL has appealed the decision.  The Company has been advised by legal
       counsel that in said counsel's opinion the JNL 503(b) Claim is
       without merit; however, the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot
       presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision for any loss that
       may result upon resolution of this matter has been made in the
       consolidated condensed financial statements.

       Concurrently with the trial of the JNL 503(b) Claim, the Bankruptcy
       Court considered the final fee application of the law firm of
       Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy ("Milbank"), who rendered services as
       reorganization counsel for the Company in connection with the
       chapter 11 proceedings.  The Milbank claim was approximately
       $2,330,000, of which 80% had previously been paid by the Company on
       an interim basis.  By order dated June 3, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court
       ruled that Milbank would receive 80% of the claimed amount as full
       and final compensation, thereby resulting in no further payments
       being due and owing to Milbank on the claim.  JNL appealed the
       decision of the Bankruptcy Court not to order disgorgement of amounts
       already paid to Milbank.  Milbank has not appealed the decision.

       The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Boonville Mining Services,
       Inc. ("BMSI"), was a defendant in an amended complaint filed in the
       Marion County Common Pleas Court, Marion County, Ohio on
       September 24, 1992 by Dresser Industries, Inc. and Global Industrial
       Technologies, Inc. (the "Plaintiffs"), alleging that BMSI's purchase
       of drawings and other assets of C&M of Indiana, a division of
       Construction and Mining Services, Inc., and BMSI's use of these and
       other drawings allegedly acquired subsequently, constituted a
       misappropriation of the Plaintiffs' trade secrets relating to Marion
       Power Shovel Company, a division of Global Industrial Technologies,
       Inc.  BMSI had denied these claims.  On June 17, 1996, BMSI settled
       the litigation which will result in an immaterial effect on earnings.

       The Company was one of fifty-three entities who had been named by the
       United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as potentially
       responsible parties ("PRPs") with regard to the Millcreek dumpsite,
       Erie County, Pennsylvania, which is on the National Priorities List
       of sites for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
       Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.  The Company was
       so named as a result of allegations that it disposed of foundry sand
       at the Millcreek dumpsite in the 1970's.  The United States
       Department of Justice filed suit in the United States District Court
       for the Western District of Pennsylvania in 1989 against the
       Millcreek site owners and the haulers who allegedly transported waste
       to the site for recovery of past cleanup costs incurred at the site. 
       In May, 1996, the Company paid the United States government $600,000
       in settlement of the aforementioned cost recovery action.  This
       amount was previously included in liabilities in the Consolidated
       Condensed Balance Sheets.  In addition, the EPA has ordered the
       Company and certain other PRPs to perform the soil capping portion of
       the remediation at the Millcreek site.  The anticipated remediation
       costs to be incurred by the Company are included in liabilities in
       the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
