     Unexercised employee stock options to purchase shares of Navistar Common
Stock were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding
when the options'exercise prices were greater than the average market price
of Navistar Common Stock during the respective periods.  Additionally, the
diluted  calculation excludes the effects of the conversion of the Series G
Preferred Stock as such conversion would produce anti-dilutive results. The
dilutive effect of options outstanding and the conversion of Series D Preference
Stock were not included in 1993 diluted shares as such inclusion would produce
anti-dilutive results. Basic and diluted loss of discontinued operations per
common share in 1994 was $0.27.  Basic and diluted loss from the cumulative 
effect of changes in accounting policy per common share in 1993 was $6.56.
In January of 1998, the company repurchased approximately 3.2 million 
shares of its Class B Common Stock from the Supplemental Trust.
