Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Statements 


OVERVIEW

Focused energy, the driver of our continuing momentum,
resulted in the Company posting record results in fiscal
1995.  The Company reported income from continuing
operations of $92.1 million, or $1.99 per share, on
consolidated net sales of $2,152.1 million.  This compares
with income from continuing operations of $36.6 million, or
$0.84 per share, last year on sales of $1,551.7 million.  In
addition, bookings increased 38% in 1995 while backlog at
October 31, 1995 was up 11%.

 All three of the Company's core business segments continue
to experience strong order and sales activity.  Leading the
way in 1995 was the Papermaking Machinery and Systems
segment, reporting net sales of $970.4 million, up 36% over
1994 levels, reflecting the continued upturn in the cyclical
worldwide pulp and paper industry.  Operating profit
improved from $32.2 million in 1994 to $85.7 million in
1995.

  The Mining Equipment segment, which includes the results
of P&H Mining Equipment and Joy Mining Machinery, reported
net sales of $941.8 million, up  29% from 1994.  Return on
sales for the segment amounted to 13.0% in 1995 compared to
11.3% in 1994, an improvement due primarily to improved
manufacturing absorption and reduced manufacturing
variances.  

  Sales for the Material Handling segment increased 119% to
$239.9 million in 1995 from $109.4 million in 1994 and
operating profit increased from $12.1 million in 1994 to
$22.9 million in 1995. These strong results are primarily
due to the acquisition of Morris Mechanical Handling Limited
in September, 1994 (accounted for as a purchase), as well as
improved results from existing product lines.

  Management continues to focus on the five characteristics
required for consideration as a core business as outlined
two years ago:  a global marketplace, leadership positions
in the industries served, strong aftermarket sales
potential, technological superiority and the ability to earn
positive Economic Value Added ("EVA"). In 1995, acquisitions
once again were a prominent feature of this strategy. On
November 29, 1994, the acquisition of Joy Technologies
Inc.("Joy") was consummated with an exchange of common stock
and has now been fully integrated into the Harnischfeger
family of businesses.  In early fiscal 1996, the Company
completed the acquisition of Dobson Park Industries plc
("Dobson").  Dobson, a manufacturer of roof supports and
face conveyors, is complementary with Joy, a producer of
underground mining equipment, and will significantly
strengthen the position of the Mining Equipment segment. 
These acquisitions, as well as others in the Paper segment
and in the Material Handling segment, are discussed in more
detail below.
 
Fiscal 1995 marked the third year that the Company has been
guided by the EVA philosophy and the second year that EVA
has been fully adopted for purposes of management incentive
compensation. EVA, which measures net earnings in excess of
the weighted average after-tax cost of capital as an
important component of overall profitability, has helped to
drive down the Company's capital base and contributed to
improved earnings and share value.  Each of the Company's
continuing segments again posted an improvement in EVA
achievement in 1995.

Acquisitions and Divestitures                                
         

The completion of the acquisition of Dobson early in fiscal
1996 firmly establishes the Company as a world leader in
both surface and underground mining equipment.  The
transaction was completed for a purchase price of
approximately $330.0 million including transaction costs,
and will be accounted for as a purchase.  

Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is an
industrial engineering group with interests in mining
equipment, industrial electronic control systems, toys and
plastics.  Longwall International, one of the main
subsidiaries of Dobson, is engaged in the manufacture, sale
and service of mining equipment for the international coal
mining industry.  Its principal products include
electronically controlled roof support systems, armored face
conveyors, pumps, and belt conveyor components and systems. 
The acquisition of Dobson will enable Joy to offer
integrated underground longwall mining systems to the
worldwide mining industry.  See additional discussion below
(Liquidity and Capital Resources) and Note 17 - Acquisition
of Dobson Park Industries plc. 

On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition
of Joy through a stock-for-stock merger following approval
of the merger by shareholders of each company.  Under the
terms of the acquisition,  accounted for as a pooling of
interests, the Company exchanged 17,720,750 shares of
Company common stock for all of Joy's 31,353,000 outstanding
shares, at an exchange ratio of .5652 of a share of the
Company's common stock for each of Joy's common shares.

  Joy's Mining Group is a leader in the worldwide
development, manufacture, distribution and service of
underground mining equipment for the extraction of coal and
other bedded materials. 

Effective November 1, 1994, the fiscal year of Joy was
conformed to the Company's fiscal year.  All periods
presented have been retroactively restated.  Amounts related
to Joy in fiscal 1994 have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", through the
immediate recognition of the obligation to conform with the
Company's adoption.  In addition, Joy's operating results
for the period February 26, 1994, to November 1, 1994, a net
loss of $(4.6) million on sales of $293.3 million, have been
reflected as an adjustment to the combined Company's
retained earnings on November 1, 1994.

 Transaction costs incurred to complete the Joy merger of
$17.5 million ($11.4 million after tax or $0.24 per share)
were charged to income and consisted primarily of investment
banker, attorney and accountant fees, severance and related
benefits and printing, mailing and registration expenses.

  In October, 1995, the Company's Beloit Corporation
subsidiary completed the acquisition of the roll-covering
business of Rollin, S.A. of France for a purchase price of
$13.5 million.  This transaction is expected to
significantly strengthen Beloit's market position in the
roll-covering portion of the aftermarket throughout Europe. 
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  

  In September, 1994, Beloit completed the acquisition of
OASIS, a company that provides specialty services to the
paper industry, for a purchase price of $7.0 million.
   
  Fiscal 1995 proved to be a very active year for the
Material Handling segment which completed several
acquisitions aimed at strengthening its market presence both
internationally and domestically.  Acquisitions included a
Canadian manufacturer of brake systems, manufacturers of
cranes (and related service aspects) located in Singapore
and the United States and two service-related organizations
in the United Kingdom.  These transactions, together with
the acquisition of Morris Mechanical Handling Limited of the
United Kingdom and Hercules of Mexico in fiscal 1994, have
transformed this operating unit into a truly global
business.

  In fiscal 1994, the Company announced its decision to
divest itself of Syscon Corporation ("Syscon"), the
remaining unit in the Company's Systems Group.  The assets
and liabilities and operating results of Syscon were
segregated in the consolidated financial statements and were
reflected as net assets and results of discontinued
operations in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Income,
respectively.  On February 16, 1995, the Company completed
the sale of Syscon to Logicon, Inc. for a cash price of
$45.0 million.  In connection with this sale, the Company
recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations of
$(21.9) million or $(0.48) per share, net of applicable
income taxes, in the first quarter of 1995.   

On April 12, 1995, the Company announced its decision to
divest of Joy Environmental Technologies ("JET"), a unit of
Joy that supplies air pollution and ash handling equipment
for electric utilities and other industrial operations. 
Accordingly, the operating results of JET were segregated
and reflected in the consolidated Statement of Income as a
discontinued operation.  As a result, the Statement of
Income reflects an estimated loss from discontinued
operations of $(9.3) million or $(0.19) per share for fiscal
1995.  Prior comparative periods have also been restated to
reflect JET as a discontinued operation.  The Company
expects the unit to be sold early in fiscal 1996.

  On October 29, 1993, the Company completed the sale of H-K
Systems, Inc.("H-K"), formerly Harnischfeger Engineers,
Inc., a unit in the former Systems Group, to that unit's
senior management and some equity partners.  Proceeds from
the sale were $45.2 million and the Company reported a $16.2
million after-tax gain on the sale in 1993.


Results of Operations - Consolidated

SALES. Worldwide sales in fiscal 1995 amounted to $2,152.1
million representing an increase of 39% over 1994 sales of
$1,551.7 million.
All three segments reported strong increases, led by a 36%
increase in the Paper segment.  Mining Equipment segment
sales surged ahead 29% over the prior year due to strong
increases in both the P&H Mining Equipment and Joy Mining
Machinery businesses.  Material Handling segment sales
increased 119% over the prior year due to the full year
impact of the Morris Mechanical Handling Limited acquisition
in 1994 and improvements in existing product lines.

 Sales for fiscal 1994 of $1,551.7 million were 10% greater
than 1993 sales of $1,409.2 million, boosted in particular
by the strong increase in the Paper segment of 23%.  Sales
for the Mining Equipment segment of $729.5 million improved
over 1993 levels of $711.8 million.  The Material Handling
segment saw a modest decline in sales.  

COSTS AND EXPENSES. Cost of sales increased 40% to $1,671.9
million in 1995 from $1,195.9 million in 1994.  This change
was primarily due to the strong increase in sales volume
reported during the period.  Product development, selling
and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased
to 15.4%  compared to 18.0% last year.  This significant
decline reflects the synergies gained from the integration
of Joy into the Company during the year and continued
efforts to control costs across the board.

 Cost of sales in 1994 increased 10% to $1,195.9 million
from $1,083.8 million in 1993.  This increase is consistent
with the 10% increase in sales for the same period.  Product
development, selling and administrative expenses as a
percent of sales decreased to 18.0% from 18.4% in 1993.

OPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS.  The Company
reported income from continuing operations of $92.1 million
in 1995 ($103.5 million or $2.23 per share before Joy merger
costs), as compared to income from continuing operations of
$36.6 million in 1994 and a loss from continuing operations
of $(27.5) million in 1993.  Significant factors
contributing to the increase in 1995 included a $103.9
million increase in segment operating profit, caused
primarily by higher net sales in 1995 and a $29.7 million
gain on the sale of the Company's investment in Measurex
Corporation. Offsetting this increase were higher taxes of
$39.5 million due to higher pre-tax results, Joy merger
transaction costs of $17.5 million and higher minority
interest due to higher comparative operating results of the
Paper segment.



1993 Restructuring Actions

In the third quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $67.0 million ($43.1 million after-
tax, or $.97 per share) to strengthen and streamline its
papermaking machinery and mining equipment businesses
consistent with action plans developed in light of the
Company's previously determined five core business criteria. 
The restructuring actions were substantially completed by
the end of fiscal 1994. 



 Details regarding specific restructuring actions are as
follows:

  The cash and noncash elements of the restructuring charge
approximated $39.0 million and $28.0 million, respectively.

Additional details are discussed in the "Operating Results
by Business Segment" section which follows.  

INCOME TAXES


  The Company's effective tax rate from continuing
operations was 35.0% in 1995 (compared to a 35.0% federal
statutory rate), 26.5% in 1994, and (33.8)% in 1993.  The
effective tax rate for 1994 differed from the federal
statutory rate of 35% due primarily to differences in
foreign and U.S. tax rates, general business credits and
lower state taxes due to net operating losses for state
income tax purposes.


  A more detailed discussion of income taxes can be found in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 6 -
Income Taxes.


Adoption of New Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), by restating prior
years' financial statements, retroactive to 1989.  The
impact of adopting this standard was to reduce previously
reported shareholders' equity by $15.0 million at November
1, 1991.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions"  through the immediate
recognition of the obligation.  Under SFAS 106, the costs of
retiree health care and life insurance benefits are accrued
over relevant employee service periods.  Previously, these
costs were charged to expense as claims were paid.  The
cumulative effect of the accounting change required by this
Standard was a one-time pre-tax charge of $136.3 million
($81.7 million or $1.87 per share after taxes and minority
interest).  The discount rate used in determining the
liability was 8.2%.

In 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
general approach  that would culminate in the elimination of
all Company contributions towards postretirement health care
benefits.  Increases in costs paid by the Company were
capped for certain plans beginning in 1994 extending through
1998 and Company contributions will be eliminated on January
1, 1999 for most employee groups, excluding Joy. For Joy,
based upon existing plan terms, future eligible retirees
will participate in a premium cost-sharing arrangement which
is based upon age as of March 1, 1993 and position at the
time of retirement.  Active Joy employees under age 45 as of
March 1, 1993 and any new hires after April 1, 1993 will be
required to pay 100% of the applicable premium.

  The initial one-time, pre-tax charge reflected all plan
terms and amendments in place on November 1, 1993.  Negative
plan amendments made subsequent to November 1, 1993 are
being amortized from the date of amendment to January 1,
1999.  Postretirement benefit expense recognized during
fiscal 1995 was reduced by $9.4 million for amortization of
negative plan amendments.  See further discussion in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

The Company adopted  SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" in the first quarter of fiscal
1995. The impact of adoption of SFAS 112 on the Company's
results of operations and financial position was not
material.

equity from strong operating profits resulted in the
improvement.  Equity in the ratio calculation excludes the
Stock Employee Compensation Trust ("SECT") balance because
shares in the SECT are issued and outstanding.

  Cash flow from operating activities was $125.3 million in
1995 compared to $117.3 million in 1994 and $62.5 million in
1993.  The increase in cash flow between the periods was
primarily a result of higher operating income offset by a
net increase in working capital items.  

  Net working capital of $490.1 million at October 31, 1995
increased $58.8 million or 13.6% over October 31, 1994
levels of $431.3 million.  Higher cash, accounts receivable
and inventory levels resulting from the strong fourth
quarter, more than offset increases in accounts payable,
employee compensation accruals and advance payments.  

  Net working capital increased to $431.3 million in 1994
from $375.2 million in 1993, due primarily to increases in
cash and accounts receivable. 

  Cash provided by investing activities in 1995 was $44.1
million, primarily generated from the sale of the Company's
investment in Measurex Corporation and from the sale of
Syscon Corporation, offset by acquisitions and capital
expenditures.  Cash used in investing activities in 1994,
primarily for acquisitions and capital expenditures, was
$74.2 million.  

  Capital expenditures for net property, plant and equipment
in 1995 were $61.8 million compared with $41.7 million in
1994.  The $20.1 million increase, more than half of which
was in the Paper segment, is reflective of the strong
cyclical upturn in the industries served by the Company and
management's commitment to maintain the most advanced plant
and equipment to serve those industries.  Depreciation and
amortization was $70.5 million and $73.2 million in 1995 and
1994, respectively.

  Cash used for financing activities in 1995 of $102.6
million was primarily for the redemption of Joy's bank
facility term loan and partial redemption of Joy's 10 1/4%
Senior Notes (see below),  and for dividend requirements
offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options. 
The $11.7 million use of cash for financing activities in
1994 reflects proceeds from the sale of treasury stock
offset by decreases in short-term obligations.
 
 The acquisition of Joy, completed on November 29, 1994,
significantly altered the Company's capital structure.  At
the time the transaction was completed, Joy's outstanding
long-term borrowings totaled approximately $318.0 million. 
Of this amount, a $84.1 million bank facility, which was
subject to a change in control provision, was immediately
retired by the Company from available cash.  Other debt
included $200.0 million of 10 1/4% Senior Notes due 2003
("Senior Notes") and approximately $34.0 million of
Industrial Revenue Bonds and other debt. 

  The indenture for the Senior Notes provides that, upon a
"Change in Control" as defined therein, each holder of the
Senior Notes shall have the right to require the repurchase
of the Senior Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 101%
of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase.  The acquisition
of Joy constituted a "Change in Control" under the
indenture.  On December 29, 1994, Joy offered to purchase
for cash any and all of its outstanding Senior Notes.  This
offer expired on February 10, 1995 with $.3 million being
redeemed under the offer.  Prior to this tender offer, the
Company had purchased $11.4 million of outstanding 10 1/4%
Senior Notes in unsolicited open market transactions.  As a
result of the bank facility and Senior Note redemptions, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss on debt retirement,
net of applicable income taxes, of $(3.5) million or $(0.08)
per share, consisting primarily of unamortized financing
costs and redemption premiums.  The Company may, at its
option, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any
time on or after September 1, 1998 at 105.125% of their
principal amount, plus accrued interest, declining to 100%
of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on or
after September 1, 2000.

  In connection with the Joy acquisition, the Company
exchanged 17,720,750 common shares to consummate the
transaction, after which 47,666,301 common shares were
outstanding.  In addition, the Company increased its
authorized common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000
shares.

Other changes to the Company's capital structure in 1993-
1995 have been as follows:

(1)  The sale of 2,000,000 shares of treasury stock in
September 1994 for $46.8 million in a private transaction. 
This sale was executed in connection  with the Company's
merger with Joy to satisfy requirements under the pooling of
interests accounting rules relating to treasury stock
purchases. 

(2) In May, 1993, following a "Dutch auction" self-tender
offer, the Company purchased for cash 2,500,000 common
shares, or approximately 9% of common shares then
outstanding, at $19 5/8 per share, in conjunction with the
establishment of the Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. Stock
Employee Compensation Trust ("SECT").  Shares in the SECT
are being used to fund future employee benefit obligations
under plans that currently require shares of Company Common
Stock.

  The Company maintains the ability to expand its borrowings
in several ways, including the following:

(1) A shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the sale of up to $150.0 million of debt
securities.  To date, no securities have been issued under
this registration; however, see discussion below regarding
the acquisition of Dobson.

(2)     A Revolving Credit Facility Agreement between the
Company and certain domestic and foreign financial
institutions that allows for borrowings of up to $240.0
million at rates expressed in relation to the LIBOR and
other rates.

(3)  A short-term $200.0 million bridge financing facility
to be used temporarily, along with available cash, to
finance the Dobson acquisition in early December.

(4)     Short-term bank credit lines of foreign subsidiaries of
approximately $122.1 million of which approximately $18.9
million was outstanding at October 31, 1995.

  The Company believes its available cash, cash flow
provided by operating activities and committed credit lines
provide adequate liquidity on both a short- and long-term
basis.

The Company completed the acquisition of Dobson Park
Industries plc in early fiscal 1996 for a purchase price of
approximately $330.0 million including transaction costs. 
The transaction was funded via the short-term bridge
financing facility arranged specifically for this
acquisition, issuance of commercial paper, other short-term
facilities and available cash.  It is expected that up to
$150.0 million of these borrowings will be replaced with the
issuance of 30-year debt securities in mid-December 1995
under the Company's shelf registration, discussed above. 

  The Company has no significant capital commitments as of
October 31, 1995, other than the acquisition of Dobson
discussed above.  Any future capital commitments are
expected to be funded through cash flow from operations and,
if necessary, from available lines of credit.

  It is the Company's policy not to participate in high-
yield financings, highly leveraged transactions, or other
"derivative" instruments.  Hedging of specific foreign
exchange transaction exposures does occur in certain
circumstances.

  The Company intends to continue to expand its businesses,
both internally and through acquisitions.  Acquisitions are
evaluated in light of the five characteristics required of a
core business.  It is expected that new acquisitions would
be financed primarily by internally-generated funds or
additional borrowings.

  The Company's restructuring actions announced in the third
quarter of fiscal 1993 were substantially completed by the
end of fiscal 1994.  Related cash requirements in 1994 were
financed internally.  

  The previously discussed implementation in the first
quarter of 1994 of SFAS 106 will have no negative impact on
the Company's cash outlays for these retiree benefits.  Cash
flow will improve in the future as Company contributions are
capped in future years and then eliminated in 1999 for
certain plans.

</TABLE>


  The Papermaking Machinery and Systems segment reported
sales of $970.4 million and operating profit of $85.7
million for 1995.  Sales volume in 1995 was 36% higher than
the prior year's level of $712.8 million, reflecting the
continued upturn in the cyclical worldwide pulp and paper
industry's spending for original equipment and aftermarket
services.  Foreign sales of this segment amounted to 41% of
total sales in 1995 and 30% in 1994 compared to a more
typical 50/50 split, as U.S. activity was stronger than in
Europe.   Operating profit in 1995 was 8.8% of sales
compared to 4.5% in 1994.  Operating profit included
stronger gross margins due to stronger sales, improved
absorption of manufacturing overhead and a $29.7 million
gain from the sale of the Measurex Corporation investment. 
Both sales and operating profit are expected to improve in
1996 as the cyclical upturn continues.

Net sales and operating profit amounted to $712.8 million
and $32.2 million, respectively, in 1994.  Net sales were
23% higher than in 1993 reflecting the cyclical upturn in
the worldwide pulp and paper industry.  Operating profit as
a percent of sales increased to 4.5% in 1994 from 3.8% in
1993 (before restructuring charges, discussed below).

  In July, 1993, the Company announced plans to strengthen
and streamline its core businesses.  As part of these plans,
the Paper segment recorded a $40.0 million restructuring
charge, primarily for the closure of its Canadian
papermaking machinery manufacturing facilities and
consolidation of North American papermaking machine
manufacturing operations in Beloit, Wisconsin.   The Paper
segment's restructuring activities were substantially
completed in 1994.
 
  Bookings activity improved in 1995 to $1,016.3 million
from $795.9 million in 1994.  The 28% increase reflects
improved bookings in both pulp and paper machinery and
aftermarket products and services, as well as continued
strength in overseas markets.  Bookings in 1996 are expected
to exceed new orders recorded in 1995.  The Paper segment
continues to maintain its leadership in papermaking
machinery and allied products and services for the pulp and
paper industries.

</TABLE>

  The Mining Equipment segment reported net sales of $941.8
million in 1995, a 29% increase from 1994 sales of $729.5
million. The sales increase is due to increases in both
original equipment and aftermarket activity for both the
surface and underground mining operations.  Operating profit
was $122.1 million or 13.0% of sales compared to operating
profit of $82.5 million or 11.3% of sales in 1994. The
increase in operating profit is primarily due to increased
sales, improved manufacturing absorption and reduced
manufacturing variances. Foreign sales of the Mining
Equipment segment amounted to 44% of total sales in 1995,
48% in 1994 and 49% in 1993. 

  Net sales and operating profit before restructuring and
nonrecurring charges amounted to $711.8 million and $75.6
million, respectively, in 1993.  

  In the third quarter of fiscal 1993, the Mining Equipment
segment recorded a $25.5 million restructuring charge for
activities related principally to its plans to reduce
worldwide inventory and to enhance manufacturing and repair
parts capabilities.  Other elements in the restructuring
charge provided for refocusing manufacturing and marketing
efforts and for employee severance costs.  In addition, an
$8.0 million nonrecurring charge was recorded to reflect the
reestimation of certain warranty reserves.  These charges
reduced operating results to $42.1 million in 1993.  The
activities addressed in the reserve were completed in 1994.

  Bookings amounted to $972.4 million in 1995 and $703.4
million in 1994 representing a 38% increase.  Strong
bookings levels are expected to continue in fiscal 1996 in
both surface and underground mining products.

</TABLE>
  The Material Handling segment reported net sales of $239.9
million in 1995, an increase of 119% from 1994 levels of
$109.4 million.  Operating profit increased to $22.9 million
compared to $12.1 million in 1994. Both sales and
profitability increases are due to the September 1994
acquisition of Morris Mechanical Handling Limited as well as
improving results from original equipment sales and
aftermarket services from existing businesses. While sales
of the Material Handling segment were principally in the
U.S. in 1994, foreign sales in 1995 amounted to 48%
reflecting the growing international presence of this
segment.

  Net sales of the Material Handling segment decreased to
$109.4 million in 1994 from $117.0 million in 1993. 
Operating profit, however, increased to $12.1 million from
$6.8 million in 1993, reflecting higher machine margins and
the continued growth of the segment's aftermarket business.

  Bookings amounted to $263.6 million in 1995, a 91%
increase from $137.7 million in 1994. The 1994 bookings do
not include purchased backlog of the Morris acquisition of
$35.7 million.  The sharp increase in bookings in 1995
reflects the acquisition of Morris, the segment's leadership
in the domestic equipment market and the continued growth of
its aftermarket business.

</TABLE>

Net sales and loss from discontinued operations in 1995 were
$101.5 million and $(31.2) million, respectively.  The
decrease in sales activity from 1994 is due to the sale of
Syscon Corporation to Logicon, Inc. on February 16, 1995,
and lower comparative sales of Joy Environmental
Technologies.  

Net sales and loss from discontinued operations in 1994
amounted to $263.3 million and $(4.0) million, respectively,
as compared to $406.6 million and $7.8 million,
respectively, for 1993.  The decrease from 1993 was
primarily from  the sale of H-K Systems, Inc. (formerly
Harnischfeger Engineers, Inc.) in October, 1993.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless indicated.)
NOTE 1 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial
statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the
merger on November 29, 1994 with Joy Technologies Inc.
("Joy") for all periods presented, accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  The consolidated balance sheets as of
October 31, 1995 and 1994 include the accounts of Joy as of
October 31, 1995 and February 25, 1994, respectively.  The
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for each
of the three years ended October 31, 1995 include the
results of Joy for the years ended October 31, 1995,
February 25, 1994, and February 26, 1993, respectively.  The
consolidated statements of income for each of these three
years have also been restated to reflect the Company's
divestiture of the Systems Group in 1995 and Joy
Environmental Technologies ("JET") accounted for as
discontinued operations.  See Note 16 - Discontinued
Operations. The term "Company" as used in these consolidated
financial statements refers to Harnischfeger Industries,
Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Joy.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of all majority-owned
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market value.  Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method for substantially all domestic inventories and
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the majority of
inventories of foreign subsidiaries.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue on long-term contracts is
generally recorded using the percentage-of-completion method
for financial reporting purposes.  Such contracts include
contracts for papermaking machinery, certain mining
equipment and custom-engineered cranes. Losses, if any, are
recognized in full as soon as identified.  Sales of other
products and services are recorded as products are shipped
or services are rendered.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and
equipment is stated at historical cost.  Expenditures for
major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while
maintenance and repairs which do not significantly improve
the related asset or extend its useful life are charged to
expense as incurred.

For financial reporting purposes, plant and equipment is
depreciated primarily by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Depreciation claimed
for income tax purposes is computed by accelerated methods.

CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid
debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at
the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS - Any gain or loss on forward
contracts designated as hedges of commitments is deferred
and included in the measurement of the related foreign
currency transaction, except that permanent losses are
recognized immediately.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The majority of the assets
and liabilities of the Company's international operations
are translated at year-end exchange rates; income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing
during the year.

  For operations whose functional currency is the local
currency, translation adjustments are accumulated in a
separate section of shareholders' equity.  Transaction gains
and losses, as well as translation adjustments relating to
operations whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are
reflected in income.  Pre-tax foreign exchange gains
(losses) included in operating income were $1,901, $(1,619)
and $2,769 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Goodwill represents the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable net assets of acquired companies and is
amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from
25 to 40 years. The Company assesses the carrying value of
goodwill at each balance sheet date. Consistent with
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," such assessments
include, as appropriate, a comparison of (a) the estimated
future nondiscounted cash flows anticipated to be generated
during the remaining amortization period of the goodwill to
(b) the net carrying value of goodwill. The Company
recognizes diminution in value of goodwill, if any, on a
current basis.  Other intangible assets are amortized over
the shorter of their legal or economic useful lives ranging
from 5 to 20 years.  Accumulated amortization was $98,200
and $76,480 at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

INCOME TAXES - In 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", retroactive to November 1,
1988.  Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future
years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and
liabilities, and for tax basis carryforwards.  A valuation
allowance is provided for deferred tax assets where it is
considered more likely than not that the Company will not
realize the benefit of such assets.  The consolidated
financial statements for each year presented take into
account the effects of SFAS 109.  See Note 6-Income Taxes.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Research and development
costs are expensed as incurred.  Such costs incurred in the
development of new products or significant improvements to
existing products amounted to $30,348, $28,879, and $26,710
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Certain capital
expenditures used in research activities, such as the
construction of a pilot paper machine used in research and
for customer tests, are capitalized and depreciated over
their expected useful lives.

EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share are based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year.  The number of shares used in the computation were
46,218,144 in 1995, 43,716,464 in 1994, and 44,393,043 in
1993.  Common stock equivalents were not significant in any
of the years presented.  Shares in the Stock Employee
Compensation Trust ("SECT") are not considered outstanding
for purposes of computing earnings per share. 


NOTE 2 

ACQUISITIONS


On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition
of Joy Technologies Inc. upon the approval of the
shareholders of each company.  Under the terms of the
acquisition, accounted for as a pooling of interests, the
Company exchanged 17,720,750 common shares for all of Joy's
31,353,000 outstanding shares, at an exchange ratio of .5652
of a share of the Company's common stock for each of Joy's
common shares.
 
  The fiscal year of Joy has been conformed to the Company's
fiscal year effective November 1, 1994, and all periods
presented have been retroactively restated (See Note 1 -
Significant Accounting Policies - Basis of Presentation). 
Joy's operating results for the period from February 25,
1994 (the end of Joy's fiscal year before the acquisition)
to October 31, 1994, a net loss of $(4,575) on net sales of
$293,290, have been reflected as an adjustment to the
combined Company's retained earnings on November 1, 1994.

Transaction costs incurred to complete the Joy merger of
$17,459 ($11,384 after tax or $0.24 per share) were charged
to income and consisted primarily of investment banker,
attorney and accountant fees, severance and related benefits
and printing, mailing and registration expenses.

In October, 1995, the Company's Beloit Corporation
subsidiary completed the acquisition of the roll-covering
business of Rollin, S.A. of France for a purchase price of
$13,500.  This transaction is expected to significantly
strengthen Beloit's market position in the roll-covering
portion of the aftermarket throughout Europe.  The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The
investment has been included in Other Assets while a
purchase allocation to individual assets is being completed.

  The Material Handling segment completed several
acquisitions in 1995 aimed at strengthening its market
presence both internationally and domestically. 
Acquisitions totaling approximately $10,000 include a
Canadian manufacturer of brake systems, manufacturers of
cranes (and related service aspects) located in Singapore
and the United States and two service-related organizations
in the United Kingdom.  In addition, the Company's Mining
Equipment segment completed the acquisition of a servicer of
above-ground mining equipment headquartered in the United
States for approximately $4,000, further broadening its
aftermarket capabilities.  These acquisitions have been
accounted for as purchases. 

In September, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of
all of the outstanding shares of MMH (Holdings) Limited, a
holding company for Morris Mechanical Handling Limited
("Morris") and related companies for $24,890.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. 
The purchase price was allocated to the specific net assets
acquired based upon independent appraisal.  Morris,
headquartered in Great Britain, is a manufacturer of a broad
line of cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment and has
an extensive service organization that provides aftermarket
services for a broad spectrum of lifting equipment.  Morris
also has operations in the United States, the Far East and
South Africa, and is a unit of the Material Handling
segment.


  In addition, the Company completed two smaller
acquisitions during 1994.  In July, 1994, the Company
acquired a Mexican company, Hercules, S.A. de C.V., for
$2,589.  Hercules, a manufacturer of overhead cranes and
hoists serving the Mexican and South American markets, is
also a unit of the Material Handling segment.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

  Beloit acquired substantially all of the common shares of
OASIS (Optical Alignment Systems and Inspection Services,
Inc.) for $7,000 in September, 1994.  The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase.  The New Hampshire-based
company provides specialty services principally to the paper
industry.

NOTE 3 

RESTRUCTURING AND NONRECURRING CHARGES

In fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a restructuring charge
to strengthen and streamline its papermaking machinery and
mining equipment businesses.  The total estimated cost of
the restructuring activities reduced pre-tax income by
$67,000.  Of the total, $40,000 related to the Paper
segment, which was primarily for the closure of its Canadian
papermaking machinery manufacturing facilities and
consolidation of North American papermaking machine
manufacturing in Beloit, Wisconsin. The $25,500 charge for
Harnischfeger Corporation's Mining Equipment Division
related principally to its plans to reduce worldwide
inventories and to enhance manufacturing and repair parts
capabilities.  Other elements in the restructuring charge
provided for refocusing manufacturing and marketing efforts
(to reduce non-value-added activities, to reduce
nonoperating assets and to focus on capital carrying costs)
as well as employee severance costs.  Substantially all of
the restructuring reserve was used by the end of fiscal
1994.  

  In addition, the Company recorded a charge in fiscal 1993
resulting from the reestimation of certain warranty reserves
carried by the Mining Equipment Division. The charge reduced
pre-tax income by $8,000. This nonrecurring charge was the
result of a much deeper analysis of open warranty claims and
customer requests, field experience on new products and
additional analytical data provided by new systems which has
since resulted in engineering, design and manufacturing
changes. The Company's warranty methodology, while
long-established, is by its very nature based on
management's judgement and is not mathematically precise or
actuarially based. The resultant warranty reserves are
reevaluated periodically and reflect refinements of
estimated warranty exposure on evolving product lines.

  At October 31, 1995, the Company had foreign tax credit
carryforwards of $535 expiring in 1999, general business tax
credits of $11,481 expiring in 2008-2010, and alternative
minimum tax credit carryforwards of $5,263 which do not
expire.  In addition, tax loss carryforwards consisted of
foreign loss carryforwards of $27,865 with various
expiration dates, and domestic carryforwards of $14,010 with
various states and expiration dates.  The carryforwards will
be available for the reduction of future income tax
liabilities.

  U.S. income taxes, net of foreign taxes paid or payable,
have been provided on the undistributed profits of foreign
subsidiaries, except in those instances where such profits
are expected to be permanently reinvested.  Such unremitted
earnings of subsidiaries which have been or are intended to
be permanently reinvested were $180,200 at October 31, 1995. 
If, for some reason not presently contemplated, such profits
were to be remitted or otherwise become subject to U.S.
income tax, the Company expects to incur tax at
substantially less than the U.S. income tax rate as a result
of foreign tax credits that would be available.

  Income taxes paid were $31,686, $16,979 and $20,859 for
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  In August 1995, the Company entered into a short-term
$200,000 bridge financing facility agreement between the
Company and certain foreign and domestic financial
institutions to be used in connection with the acquisition,
in early fiscal 1996, of Dobson Park Industries plc.  See
additional discussion in Note 17 - Acquisition of Dobson
Park Industries plc. 

  The 10 1/4% Senior Notes have a maturity date of September
1, 2003 with semi-annual interest payments due March 1 and
September 1, commencing March 1, 1994.  The Company may, at
its option, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at
any time on or after September 1, 1998 at 105.125% of their
principal amount, plus accrued interest, declining to 100%
of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on or
after September 1, 2000.
  
  The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants
under its existing debt agreements.   In addition, upon a
change of control, Joy is required to make an offer to
purchase the Senior Notes then outstanding at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest.

  On December 29, 1994, Joy issued an offer to purchase for
cash at 101% any and all of its outstanding 10 1/4% Senior
Notes.  This offer expired on February 10, 1995 with $270
being redeemed under the offer.  Prior to this tender offer,
the Company had purchased $11,350 of outstanding 10 1/4%
Senior Notes in unsolicited open market transactions.  As a
result of the Bank Facility and 10 1/4% Senior Note
redemptions (see below), the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss on debt retirement, net of applicable
income taxes, of $3,481 or $0.08 per share, consisting
primarily of unamortized financing costs and redemption
premiums.

  During fiscal 1994, the Company recorded an extraordinary
after-tax charge of $4,827 associated with the prepayment of
Joy's outstanding Tranche A term loans existing under the
Bank Facility and all of Joy's 12.3% Junior Subordinated
Notes.  This charge is comprised of the write-off of the
unamortized discount and unamortized capitalized financing
costs, call premiums and other expenses.  The remaining
borrowings outstanding under the Bank Facility were repaid
in full on November 29, 1994, upon the consummation of the
Company's merger with Joy.  The Tranche A term loans carried
an interest rate of 2.125% above LIBOR, and the Tranche B
term loan had a floating interest rate equal, at Joy's
option, to the base rate plus 2% or to the Euro-dollar rate
plus 3%.  The Bank Facility agreement, including its
revolving credit agreement, was terminated concurrent with
the merger.
  
  The Company has $150,000 of unsecured debentures
outstanding with interest rates ranging from 8.7% to 8.9%
due at maturity in 2022.

  The Senior Notes, Series A through D, are privately placed
and unsecured.  The terms of the Note Agreements place
limits on the amount of additional long-term debt the
Company may issue and require maintenance of a minimum
consolidated net worth, as defined.  Additional funded debt
may be incurred if immediately thereafter consolidated
funded debt does not exceed 50% of consolidated total
tangible assets, as defined.

  The Series D Notes provide for eleven equal annual
repayments beginning in 1996; Series A through C Notes are
due at maturity in 1999, 1999 and 2001, respectively.

  In 1992, the Company filed a shelf registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the proposed sale of
up to $150,000 of additional debt securities.  To date, no
securities covered by the registration have been offered for
sale, however, see Note 17 - Acquisition of Dobson Park
Industries, plc.

  In November, 1993, the Company entered into a four-year
Revolving Credit Facility Agreement between the Company and
certain domestic and foreign financial institutions that
allowed for borrowings of up to $150,000 at rates expressed
in relation to LIBOR and other rates.  In November, 1994,
the facility was increased to $240,000 and was extended to
November, 1998.  A facility fee is payable on the Revolving
Credit Facility.

  The Industrial Revenue Bonds are secured by certain assets
of the Company's domestic operations.  

  Installments payable to holders of the outstanding
long-term obligations of the Company are due as follows:

NOTE 8 

PENSIONS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of defined
benefit, defined contribution and government mandated
pension plans covering substantially all employees. 
Benefits from these plans are based on factors which include
various combinations of years of service, fixed monetary
amounts per year of service, employee compensation during
the last years of employment and the recipient's social
security benefit.  The Company's funding policy with respect
to its qualified plans is to contribute annually not less
than the minimum required by applicable law and regulation
nor more than the amount which can be deducted for income
tax purposes.  The Company also has a nonqualified senior
executive supplemental pension plan, funded by Company
stock, which is based on credited years of service and
compensation during the last years of employment.

  Certain foreign plans, which supplement or are coordinated
with government plans, many of which require funding through
mandatory government retirement or insurance company plans,
have pension funds or balance sheet accruals which
approximate the actuarially computed value of accumulated
plan benefits as of October 31, 1995 and 1994.

  The Company recorded an additional minimum pension
liability and intangible asset of $9,698 and $23,645 in 1995
and 1994, respectively, to recognize the unfunded
accumulated benefit obligation of certain domestic plans.

  Pension expense for all plans of the Company was $17,344
in 1995, $18,521 in 1994, and $20,248 in 1993.  Net periodic
pension costs for U.S. plans and plans of subsidiaries
outside the United States for which SFAS No. 87, "Employers'
Accounting for Pensions" has been adopted included the
following components:

  The discount rate used for U.S. plans was 8.0% in 1995,
7.9%-8.0% in 1994, and 8.5%-8.75% in 1993, and for non-U.S.
plans ranged from 8.0%-14.0%.  The assumed rate of increase
in future compensation of U.S. salaried employees was 5.0%
in 1995, ranged from 4.5%-5.0% in 1994, and ranged from
5.0%-5.5% in 1993; and for non-U.S. salaried employees
ranged from 5.0%-11.0%.  Benefits under the hourly employee
plans are generally not based on wages. The expected
long-term rate of return on assets for U.S. plans ranged
from 9.5%-10.0% and for non-U.S. plans ranged from 8.5%-
15.0%.  The assumptions for non-U.S. plans were developed on
a basis consistent with that for U.S. plans, adjusted to
reflect prevailing economic conditions and interest rate
environments.

  Primarily as a result of the sale of H-K Systems,
Inc.(formerly Harnischfeger Engineers, Inc.) in 1993 (see
Note 16 - Discontinued Operations), a curtailment occurred
within the Harnischfeger Salaried Pension Plan.  Curtailment
gains of $4,527 were recorded in 1993, $3,969 of which was
included in the gain on sale of discontinued operations.

  The following table sets forth the plans' funded status at

  Pension plan assets consist primarily of trust funds with
diversified portfolios of primarily equity and fixed income
investments.

  The Company has a qualified profit sharing plan which
covers substantially all domestic employees except employees
covered by collective bargaining agreements and employees of
subsidiaries with separate defined contribution plans.
Contributions to the plan are based on the Company's
Economic Value Added (EVA) performance.  Profit sharing
expense was $6,321 in 1995 and $3,300 in 1994.  The Company
made no profit sharing contribution in 1993.  

In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company implemented
SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits".  The impact upon adoption of SFAS 112 on the
Company's results of operations and financial position was
not material.

NOTE 9 

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company generally provides certain health care and life
insurance benefits under various plans for U.S. employees
who retire after attaining early retirement eligibility,
subject to the plan amendments discussed below.

  During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106),
through the immediate recognition of the obligation.  Under
SFAS 106, the costs of retiree health care and life
insurance benefits are accrued over relevant employee
service periods.  Previously, these costs were charged to
expense as claims were paid.  The cumulative effect of the
accounting change required by this standard was a one time
pre-tax charge of $136,291 ($81,696 or $1.87 per share after
taxes and minority interest).  The discount rate used in
determining the liability at October 31, 1994 was 7.9% and
as of October 31, 1995 the discount rate was 8.0%. 

  The following table sets forth the plans' funded status
and amounts recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of
October 31:

</TABLE>

  For measurement purposes, with the exception of plans
sponsored by Joy, an annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health care benefits in the range of
10.25% to 12% for non-medicare eligible participants was
assumed for 1995 (a range of 5.8% to 10.25% was used for
medicare eligible participants); these rates were assumed to
decrease gradually to 5.0% for all participants by 2001 and
remain at that level thereafter.  For plans sponsored by
Joy, the assumed medical cost trend rates for retirees who
have not yet reached age 65 is a range of 7% to 13% in 1995,
decreasing to a rate of 4% in 2001 and continuing at that
level into the future. The health care cost trend rate
assumption has an effect on the amounts reported.  A one
percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost
trend rates each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of October 31, 1995 by
$3,050 and the aggregate service cost and interest cost
components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost
for the year by $250.  Postretirement life insurance
benefits have a minimal effect on the total benefit
obligation.  

   In 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
general approach that would culminate in the elimination of
all Company contributions towards postretirement health care
benefits.  Increases in costs paid by the Company were
capped for certain plans beginning in 1994 extending through
1998 and Company contributions will be eliminated on January
1, 1999 for most employee groups, excluding Joy. For Joy,
based upon existing plan terms, future eligible retirees
will participate in a premium cost-sharing arrangement which
is based upon age as of March 1, 1993 and position at the
time of retirement.  Active employees under age 45 as of
March 1, 1993 and any new hires after April 1, 1993 will be
required to pay 100% of the applicable premium.  

  The initial one-time pre-tax charge reflected all plan
terms and amendments in place on November 1, 1993.  Negative
plan amendments made subsequent to November 1, 1993 are
being amortized from the date of amendment to January 1,
1999.  Amortization of negative plan amendments amounted to
$9,417 and $2,995 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, which
reduced reported net periodic postretirement benefit cost. 

 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal year
1995 and 1994 includes the following components:

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS

The Statement of Shareholders' Equity has been retroactively
restated for all years presented to give effect to the
acquisition on November 29, 1994 of Joy through a stock-for-
stock merger with an exchange ratio of .5652 of a share of
Company Common Stock for each share of Joy common stock (see
Note 2-Acquisitions). In connection with the acquisition,
the Company's authorized Common Stock was increased to
100,000,000 shares.

  Joy's employee stock option plan is being administered by
the Company subsequent to the merger.  All outstanding Joy
options were converted into options to purchase Company
Common Stock and adjusted to give effect to the .5652
exchange ratio.

  A Preferred Stock Purchase Right is attached to each share
of Common Stock which entitles a shareholder to exercise
certain rights in the event a person or group acquires or
seeks to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.

  The Company's Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, provides
for the granting, up to January 31, 1998, of qualified and
non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights and
restricted stock to key employees for not more than
3,600,000 shares of Common Stock.  At October 31, 1995,
2,245,628 shares were reserved for future stock options and
restricted stock.

  Since the inception of the Incentive Stock Plan and Joy's
employee stock option plan, options for the purchase of
3,635,505 shares have been granted, at prices ranging from
$6.75 to $31.25 per share.  At October 31, 1995, 1,444,286
of the options were outstanding, 1,279,831 had been
exercised and 911,388 had expired.  Generally, the options
granted under the Incentive Stock Plan become exercisable in
cumulative installments of one-fourth of the shares in each
year beginning six months from the date of the grant.  In
addition, 63,000 shares were reserved for restricted stock
in 1990.  In 1995, none of the reserved restricted shares
was issued.  The recipients of restricted stock have the
right to receive dividends and vote but such shares cannot
be transferred until they become fully vested.  The shares
will become unrestricted following the end of fiscal 1995. 
Compensation expense related to restricted stock is included
in income and amounted to $0 in 1995, $100 in 1994, and $170
in 1993.

  Certain information regarding stock options, including Joy
options under the Joy stock option plan, is as follows:

</TABLE>

  In September, 1994, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock in a private transaction.  This sale satisfied
the requirements under the pooling of interests accounting
rules to replace shares repurchased during the two years
prior to the announcement of the Company's merger with Joy.
The shares were sold from treasury stock.    

  Following a "Dutch auction" self-tender offer in May,
1993, the Company purchased for cash 2,500,000 shares of
Common Stock, or approximately 9% of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at that time, at $19-5/8 per share, in
conjunction with the establishment of the Harnischfeger
Industries, Inc. Stock Employee Compensation Trust ("SECT"). 
Concurrent with the purchase, the Company sold 2,547,771
shares of Common Stock held in treasury to the SECT,
amounting to $50,000 at $19-5/8 per share. The purchase of
the treasury shares reduced shareholders' equity. The sale
of the treasury shares to the SECT had no impact on such
equity.  Shares in the SECT are being used to fund future
employee benefit obligations under plans that currently
require shares of Company Common Stock.

  Shares owned by the SECT are accounted for as treasury
stock until issued to existing benefit plans; they are
reflected as a reduction to shareholders' equity.  Shares
owned by the SECT are valued at the closing market price
each period, with corresponding changes in the SECT balance
reflected in capital in excess of par value.  Shares in the
SECT are not considered outstanding for computing earnings
per share.





NOTE 11 

OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases certain plant, office and warehouse space
as well as machinery, vehicles, data processing and other
equipment.

  Certain of the leases have renewal options at reduced
rates and provisions requiring the Company to pay
maintenance, property taxes and insurance.

  Generally, all rental payments are fixed.  The Company's
assets and obligations under capital lease arrangements are
not significant.

  Total rental expense under operating leases, excluding
maintenance, taxes and insurance, was $20,822, $20,327 and
$20,021 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  At October 31, 1995, the future payments for all operating
leases with remaining lease terms in excess of one year, and
excluding maintenance, taxes and insurance, were as follows:

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISKS

At October 31, 1995, the Company was contingently liable to
banks, financial institutions and others for approximately
$185,000 for outstanding letters of credit securing
performance of sales contracts and other guarantees in the
ordinary course of business, excluding the H-K Systems, Inc.
back-up bond guarantee facility (see Note 16-Discontinued
Operations).  The Company may also guarantee performance of
its equipment at levels specified in sales contracts without
the requirement of a letter of credit.  Performance
guarantees are a normal part of the Company's business and
have not resulted in significant cash outlays.

  The Company is a party to litigation matters and claims
which are normal in the course of its operations and, while
the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted
with certainty, management believes that the final outcome
of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

  The Company is also involved in a number of proceedings
and potential proceedings relating to environmental matters. 
Although it is difficult to estimate the potential exposure
to the Company related to these environmental matters, the
Company believes that these matters will not have a
materially adverse effect upon its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

  The Company has entered into various foreign currency
exchange contracts with major international financial
institutions designed to minimize its exposure to exchange
rate fluctuations on foreign currency transactions.  These
contracts are used to hedge known cash receipts and
disbursements in the ordinary course of business.  At
October 31, 1995, the outstanding net U.S. dollar face
amounts of contracts to cover sales and purchase activity
totaled approximately $72,553.  In addition, at October 31,
1995, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts
totaling $15,783 to cover interest and borrowing
obligations.  The difference between contract and estimated
fair values at October 31, 1995 was not significant.  It is
the Company's policy not to participate in high-yield
financings, highly leveraged transactions or other
"derivative" instruments.  

In 1993, a Federal court jury in Madison, Wisconsin returned
a verdict finding that J.M. Voith GmbH of Germany and its
subsidiary, Voith, Inc. of Appleton, Wisconsin infringed
upon Beloit's patent on its Bel-Champ(TM) drying technology
for large paper manufacturing machines.  The verdict was
appealed by Voith.  In 1995, the parties reached an
understanding concerning settlement of their outstanding
patent litigation.  

In addition, in 1994, a Federal court jury in Madison,
Wisconsin returned a verdict finding that Valmet Corporation
of Finland infringed a Beloit patent on the Bel-Champ paper
machine drying technology.  In connection with this suit,
the jury awarded Beloit $7,875 in damages.  It is expected
that the verdict in this case will be appealed by Valmet. 
The award has not been recorded in the Company's financial
statements.


NOTE 13 

DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying value approximates
fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments.       
   
Long-Term Obligations: The fair value of the Company's
long-term obligations has been based on prevailing market
quotations and by discounting cash flows using current
market yields quoted on similar issues.

  The estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments at October 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Mitsubishi") owns a 20%
interest in Beloit Corporation.  In connection with this
ownership interest, Mitsubishi entered into certain
agreements that provide it with the right to designate one
of Beloit's five directors.  The agreements also place
certain restrictions on the transfer of Beloit stock.  In
the event of change in control of the Company, Mitsubishi
has the right to sell its 20% interest back to the Company
for the greater of $60,000 or the book value of its equity
interest.

  Transactions with Mitsubishi for the years ending October
31, were as follows:

</TABLE>


  The Company believes that its transactions with Mitsubishi
were competitive with alternate sources of supply for each
party involved.

  In 1990, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
up to a 20% interest in Measurex Corporation.  As of October
31, 1994, the Company's total investment in Measurex,
including related expenses, equity income and net of
dividends received, amounted to $66,347, representing a 20%
interest.  As part of the agreement, Measurex elected a
nominee selected by the Company to its Board of Directors. 
There were no significant transactions with Measurex in
fiscal 1994 or 1993.  On December 29, 1994, Measurex
repurchased 2,026,900 shares of its stock which had been
purchased by the Company.  On June 23, 1995, Measurex
repurchased the remaining 1,613,100 shares of its stock. 
These transactions resulted in a gain of $29,657.
           
Measurex continues to have cooperative agreements with
Beloit.

Note 16 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  In 1993, the Board of Directors and management determined
that the Systems Group, consisting of H-K Systems, Inc. and
Syscon Corporation, did not meet the criteria of a core
business and that retention of the Systems Group was not
consistent with the Company's long-term goals.

  On October 29, 1993, the Company completed the sale of H-K
Systems, Inc. to that unit's senior management and some
equity partners.  The Company reported a $16,173 after-tax
gain on the sale in 1993.  The Company has an $18,000
promissory note remaining from the sale which bears interest
at rates ranging from 10% to 20%.  Quarterly principal
payments commence on October 31, 1997 with the final payment
due on October 31, 2003.  The Company agreed to make
available a back-up bonding guarantee facility for certain
bid, performance and other contract bonds issued by H-K
Systems, Inc.  The maximum amount of guarantees cannot
exceed $70,000 during 1996, with the maximum amount
decreasing to zero by November, 1998.  Outstanding contract
bonds under the guarantee arrangement totaled approximately
$49,800 at October 31, 1995.  H-K Systems Inc. typically
requires bonds from its major subcontractors.  Such
guarantees have been a normal part of H-K Systems' business
in the past and have not resulted in significant cash
outlays.  The back-up facility may not be used for new types
of business or for projects outside of North America, nor
does it permit exposure to consequential damages on
commercial contracts.

  In 1994, the Company announced its decision to divest
itself of Syscon, the remaining unit in the Systems Group.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and operating
results of Syscon were segregated in the consolidated
financial statements and were reflected as net assets and
results of discontinued operations in the Balance Sheet and
Statement of Income, respectively.  In February, 1995, the
Company completed the sale of Syscon to Logicon Inc., for a
cash price of $45,000.  In connection with this sale, the
Company recorded a loss of $(21,948) or $(0.48) per share,
net of applicable income taxes, in the first quarter of
1995.

In April, 1995, the Company announced its decision to divest
of Joy Environmental Technologies ("JET"), a unit of Joy
which supplies air pollution and ash handling equipment for
electric utilities and other industrial operations.  
Accordingly, the operating results of JET were segregated
and reflected in the consolidated Statement of Income as a
discontinued operation.  The Company expects the unit to be
sold early in fiscal 1996.

As a result, the Statement of Income reflects an estimated
loss from the discontinued operations of $(9,287) or $(0.19)
per share for fiscal 1995.  Prior comparative periods have
also been restated to reflect JET as a discontinued
operation.


Operating results of discontinued operations as of October
31, were as follows:

NOTE 17 - ACQUISITION OF DOBSON PARK INDUSTRIES PLC 

The Company completed the acquisition of Dobson Park
Industries plc in early fiscal 1996 for a purchase price of
approximately $330,000 including acquisition costs.  The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. 

Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is an
industrial engineering group with interests in underground
mining equipment, industrial electronic control systems,
toys and plastics.  Longwall International, one of the main
subsidiaries of Dobson, is engaged in the manufacture, sale
and service of underground mining equipment for the
international coal mining industry.  Its products include
electronically controlled roof support systems, armored face
conveyors, pumps and belt conveyor components and systems. 
The acquisition of Dobson will enable Joy to offer
integrated underground longwall mining systems to the
worldwide mining industry.  

The transaction was funded via the short-term bridge
financing facility arranged specifically for this
acquisition, issuance of commercial paper, other short-term
facilities and available cash.  It is expected that up to
$150,000 of these borrowings will be replaced with the
issuance of 30-year debt securities in mid-December 1995
under Company's shelf registration.
