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

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

Note B.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

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

     Consolidated interest payments during the first nine months of 1996 and
1995 were $67 million and $65 million, respectively.  Consolidated tax
payments made during the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, were $3 million
and $5 million, respectively.

Note C.  Income Taxes

     The benefit of Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards is recognized as
a deferred tax asset in the Statement of Financial Condition, while the
Statement of Income includes income taxes calculated at the statutory rate. 
The amount reported does not represent cash payment of income taxes except
for certain state income, foreign withholding and federal alternative
minimum taxes which are not material.  In the Statement of Financial
Condition, the deferred tax asset is reduced by the amount of deferred tax
expense or increased by a deferred tax benefit recorded during the year. 
Until the company has utilized its significant NOL carryforwards, the cash
payment of federal income taxes will be minimal. 

Note D.  Inventories

     Inventories are as follows:

Note E.  Financial Instruments

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

     In February and May 1996, Navistar Financial entered into short-term
forward interest rate lock agreements totalling $450 million on Treasury
securities maturing in 1998 related to the sale of retail receivables in May
1996.  These hedge agreements were closed in May 1996 in conjunction with
the sale of $460 million of retail notes receivable.

     In August and September 1996, Navistar Financial entered into $300
million of forward interest rate lock agreements on a Treasury security
maturing in 1998 related to the anticipated sale of retail receivables
sometime in November 1996.

Note F.  Legal Proceedings

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

     On June 10, 1996, the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed its review of
the Court of Appeals decision and left standing the Court of Appeals
decision reversing the jury verdict.  The company has made the appropriate
motions for return of its bond and expects the bond to be returned in due
course.

Note G.  Environmental Matters

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

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

Note H.  Subsequent Event

     During the third quarter of 1996, the company announced plans for the
production of the Next Generation Truck (NGT) at its Springfield, Ohio
assembly facility.  To achieve the necessary financial returns for the new
program, the company made proposals to the UAW (United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of America) to obtain modifications to
the existing labor contract and will continue to fund the NGT program as
long as rapid and significant progress is being made toward reaching an
acceptable agreement with the UAW.  If negotiations are unsuccessful, the
company's Board of Directors has authorized management to halt development
of the NGT program and to evaluate various strategy alternatives aimed at
improving the company's competitiveness.  Management estimates that as of
August 31, 1996 a complete termination of the NGT program would have
resulted in a charge to earnings of approximately $30 million.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated  

     The company reported net income of $17 million, or $0.13 per common
share for the third quarter ended July 31, 1996, compared with net income of
$39 million, or $0.43 per common share for the comparable quarter last year. 
For the first nine months of 1996, the company reported net income of $65
million, a decrease from the $108 million reported for the same period in
1995.
     
     Consolidated sales and revenues for the third quarter of 1996 totaled
$1,391 million compared with $1,514 million reported in 1995.  During the
first nine months of 1996, consolidated sales and revenues declined 6% to
$4,303 million from $4,570 million.  

Manufacturing
      
   Third Quarter Ended July 31, 1996
   ---------------------------------

     Manufacturing, excluding Financial Services, reported income before
income taxes of $2 million compared with pretax income of  $40 million in
the third quarter of 1995.  The change reflects a decline in demand for
trucks partially offset by the effect of ongoing cost improvement
initiatives and continued strong sales of mid-range diesel engines and 
service parts.  

     Third quarter 1996 industry retail sales of  Class 5 through 8 trucks
totaled 91,900 units, a decrease of 8% over 1995.  Class 8 heavy truck sales
of 50,400 units during the third quarter of 1996 were 16% lower than the
1995 level of 60,000 units.  Industry sales of Class 5, 6 and 7 medium
trucks, including school buses, increased 3% to 41,500 units.  Industry
sales of school buses, which accounted for 22% of the medium truck market,
increased 4%.

     Manufacturing's sales of trucks, diesel engines and service parts for
the third quarter of 1996 totaled $1,325 million compared with $1,455
million reported for the same period in 1995.  The company maintained its
position as sales leader in the combined United States and Canadian Class 5
through 8 truck market with a 28.2% market share for the third quarter of
1996, an improvement from the 26.9% market share reported in 1995.

     Shipments of mid-range diesel engines by the company to other original
equipment manufacturers during the third quarter of 1996 totaled 36,100
units, a 6% decrease from the same period of 1995.  Lower shipments to a
major automotive manufacturer for use in the light trucks and vans which use
this engine was the primary reason for the decrease.

     Service parts sales of $185 million in the third quarter of 1996 were
4% higher than the $178 million reported in 1995.  

Operating Costs and Expenses.  Manufacturing gross margin was 12.6% of sales
for the third quarter of 1996 compared with 14.0% for the same period in
1995.  The decrease in gross margin is primarily the result of lower sales
volumes and more competitive pricing  partially offset by improved operating
efficiency.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 11>

     Marketing and administrative expense increased to $75 million in the
third quarter of 1996 from $72 million in 1995 reflecting investment in the
company's strategy for the manufacture of the next generation of medium
trucks. 

   Nine Months Ended July 31, 1996    
   -------------------------------

     Pretax income, excluding Financial Services, for the first nine months
of 1996 was $36 million compared with $126 million reported for the same
period of 1995.

     Manufacturing's sales and revenues during this period totaled $4,144
million, 7% lower than the first three quarters of 1995.  During the first
nine months of 1996, sales of trucks declined 11% while sales of diesel
engines to other original equipment manufacturers increased 4%.  Service
parts sales were 5% higher than in the same period of 1995.

     Industry retail sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks during the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 totaled 259,800 units, a decrease from the 287,200
units sold during this period in 1995.  The company remained the sales
leader in the combined United States and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck
market for the first three quarters of the fiscal year with a 26.9% market
share, a slight increase over the 26.2% market share reported for the same
period last year.

     Manufacturing gross margin for the first nine months of 1996 was 12.8%
compared with 13.5% in 1995.  The factors which influenced gross margin
during the third quarter of 1996 were also responsible for the change during
the first nine months of the year.

     Marketing and administrative expense increased to $232 million for the
first three quarters of 1996 from $221 million in 1995 reflecting investment
in the company's strategy for the manufacture of the next generation of
medium trucks. 

Financial Services

     Financial Services' pretax income for the third quarter of 1996 was $26
million, an improvement from the $23 million reported in 1995.  Navistar
Financial was responsible for the change which reflects higher income on
sales of retail receivables and higher retail note balances.

     The increase in pretax income from $47 million for the first nine
months of  1995 to $69 million in 1996 reflects higher income on sales of
retail notes and higher levels of wholesale note financing.  During the
first three quarters of 1996, sales of receivables totaled $985 million with
a gain of $20 million compared with $740 million sold a year ago with a gain
of $5 million.  The improved gains on sales resulted from higher margins on
retail notes reflecting declining market interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES     

Consolidated

     Consolidated cash flow is generated from the manufacture, sale and
financing of trucks, diesel engines and service parts.  Total cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of the company amounted to $587
million at July 31, 1996, $1,040 million at October 31, 1995 and $729
million at July 31, 1995. 
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 12>

Manufacturing

     Cash used in operations during the first nine months of 1996 totaled
$278 million, primarily from a net change in operating assets and
liabilities of $418 million.  The net change in operating assets and
liabilities includes an $85 million decrease in receivables offset by a
reduction in accounts payable of  $198 million resulting from lower
production, higher inventories and a $158 million decrease in other
liabilities.  The decline in other liabilities is the result of the payment
to employees as required by the company's profit sharing agreements as well
as the timing of planned pension funding.
     
     Investment programs provided $6 million in cash as sales of marketable
securities exceeded purchases by $160 million.  This cash was used to fund
capital expenditures for truck product improvement, to increase diesel
engine capacity and to improve cost performance as well as for an $82
million advance to Navistar Financial.  Financing programs used cash to pay
$22 million in dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock and to reduce debt
by $12 million.

     At July 31, 1996, the company had outstanding capital commitments of
$42 million.  The commitments include truck and engine product development
and ongoing facility maintenance programs.  The company finances capital
expenditures principally through internally generated cash.  Capital leasing
is used to fund selected projects based on economic and operating factors.

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

Financial Services

     Operations used $25 million in cash through the third quarter of 1996
primarily reflecting a payment to Manufacturing.  Cash from investment
programs funded Financial Services' operations and financing activities. 
Investment programs provided $398 million during this period principally as
a result of a net decrease of $336 million in retail and wholesale finance
notes and receivables and $82 million in funds advanced to Navistar
Financial by Transportation. Financing activities used $351 million
primarily to reduce debt.

     Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 1996 and 1995. 
During the first nine months of 1996, Navistar Financial sold $985 million
of retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through Navistar Financial
Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC), realizing net proceeds from the
sales of $935 million.  During the same period in 1995, Navistar Financial
sold $740 million of retail notes receivables with net proceeds of $693
million.  In both years, the net proceeds were used for general working
capital purposes.

     On November 14, 1995, NFRRC filed an additional registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the issuance from
time to time of an additional $2,000 million of asset-backed securities.
This registration statement, along with two previously issued registrations,
allow NFRRC to issue up to $5,000 million of asset-backed securities.  At
July 31, 1996, the remaining shelf registration available to NFRRC was
$2,400 million.
 <PAGE>
         <PAGE 13>

     Effective March 29, 1996, Navistar Financial amended and restated its
$900 million bank revolving credit facility and its $300 million asset-
backed commercial paper  (ABCP) program, extending the maturity date of each
facility to March 2001.  In addition, the commitment of the bank revolving
credit facility was expanded to $925 million, the ABCP facility was
increased to $400 million and a new pricing and fee schedule was
established.

     At July 31, 1996, available funding under the amended and restated
credit facility and the asset-backed commercial paper facility was $551
million, of which $118 million was used to back short-term debt at July 31,
1996.  The remaining $433 million, when combined with unrestricted cash and
cash equivalents made $453 million available to fund the general business
purposes of Navistar Financial at July 31, 1996.

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

Business Outlook

     During the first three quarters of 1996, the Class 5 through 8 truck
market experienced a significant decline in the rate of new truck orders and
an increase in the cancellation of some existing orders.  Accordingly,
retail deliveries in 1996 will be highly dependent on the rate at which new
truck orders are received.  Anticipating lower year-over-year truck demand
levels,  management will balance production with demand as appropriate to
assure that the company's operating and financial objectives for the year
are met.

     As a result of a decline in truck orders which reflect a softening of
certain key economic indicators in the truck industry, the company currently
projects 1996 United States and Canadian Class 8 heavy truck demand to be
190,000 units, a 17% decrease from 1995.  Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck
demand, including school buses, is forecast at 147,500 units, a 3% decrease
from 1995.  Diesel engine shipments by the company to other original
equipment manufacturers in 1996 are expected to be approximately 162,400
units, a 4% increase from 1995.  The company's parts sales are expected to
grow 6% to $773 million.  

     During the third quarter of 1996, the company announced plans for the
production of the Next Generation Truck (NGT) at its Springfield, Ohio
assembly facility.  To achieve the necessary financial returns for the new
program, the company made proposals to the UAW (United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of America) to obtain modifications to
the existing labor contract and will continue to fund the NGT program as
long as rapid and significant progress is being made toward reaching an
acceptable agreement with the UAW.  If these negotiations are unsuccessful,
the company's Board of Directors has authorized management to halt
development of the NGT program and to evaluate various strategy alternatives
aimed at improving the company's competitiveness.  Management estimates that
as of August 31, 1996, a complete termination of the NGT program would have
resulted in a charge to earnings of approximately $30 million.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

A.  Primary:  See the Statement of Income of this Form 10-Q.

B.  Full Dilution:  Net income per common share assuming full dilution is
    computed by assuming that all options and warrants which are exercisable
    below market prices are exercised and the proceeds applied to reduce
    common stock outstanding.  The computations assume that convertible
    preferred and preference stock are converted to common stock.  Income is
    divided by the average number of common shares outstanding and 
    unconditionally issuable at the end of each month during the period,
    adjusted for the net effects of the exercise of options and warrants and
    the conversion of convertible preferred and preference stocks.
