              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
     are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
     the financial position and operating results for the interim periods.  The
     December 31, 1996 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
     financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
     generally accepted accounting principles.  The condensed consolidated
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual
     Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.  Due to the seasonal
     nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the
     interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
     entire fiscal year.

     The financial data required in this Form 10-Q by Rule 10.01 of Regulation
     S-X have been reviewed by Ciulla, Smith & Dale, LLP, the Company's
     independent certified public accountants, as described in their report
     contained elsewhere herein.

3.   The Company has been named by the EPA as a potentially responsible party
     in connection with the Sheboygan River and Harbor Superfund Site in
     Wisconsin.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had an accrual of $29.8 million
     ($30.1 million at December 31, 1996) for estimated costs associated with
     the cleanup of certain polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination at
     this Superfund Site.  The Company has based the estimated cost of cleanup
     on ongoing engineering studies, including samples taken in the Sheboygan
     River, and on assumptions as to the nature, extent and areas that will
     have to be remediated.  Significant assumptions underlying the estimated
     costs are that remediation will involve innovative technologies, including
     (but not limited to) bioremediation near the Company's plant site and
     along the upper river, and only natural armoring and bioremediation in the
     lower river and harbor.  The EPA has indicated it expects to issue a
     record of decision on the cleanup of the Sheboygan River and Harbor Site
     by mid 1998, but the ultimate resolution of the matter may take much
     longer.  The ultimate costs to the Company will be dependent upon factors
     beyond its control.  These factors include the scope and methodology of
     the remedial action requirements to be established by the EPA (in
     consultation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural
     Resources (WDNR)), rapidly changing technology, and the outcome of any
     related litigation.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED



     The Company, in cooperation with the WDNR, is conducting an investigation
     of soil and groundwater contamination at the Company's Grafton, Wisconsin
     plant.  Certain test procedures are underway to assess the extent of
     contamination and to develop remedial options for the site.  While the
     Company has provided for estimated investigation and on-site remediation
     costs, the extent and timing of future off-site remediation requirements,
     if any, are not presently determinable.

     The WDNR has requested that the Company and other interested parties join
     it in a cooperative effort to clean up PCB contamination in the watershed
     of the south branch of the Manitowoc River, downstream of the Company's
     New Holstein, Wisconsin facility.  The Company has cooperated to date with
     the WDNR in investigating the scope and range of the contamination.  The
     WDNR has not identified the parties it believes are responsible for such
     contamination.  The Company has provided for preliminary investigation
     expenses.  Although participation in a cooperative remediation effort is
     under consideration, it is not possible at this time to reasonably
     estimate the cost of any such participation.

     In addition to the above mentioned sites, the Company is also currently
     participating with the EPA and various state agencies at certain other
     sites to determine the nature and extent of any remedial action which may
     be necessary with regard to such other sites.  Based on limited
     preliminary data and other information currently available, the Company
     has no reason to believe that the level of expenditures for potential
     remedial action necessary at these other sites will have a material effect
     on its financial position.

4.   Various lawsuits and claims, including those involving ordinary routine
     litigation incidental to its business, to which the Company is a party,
     are pending, or have been asserted, against the Company.  Although the
     outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and some may
     be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management has no reason to
     believe that their disposition will have a materially adverse effect on
     the consolidated financial position of the Company.

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



Tecumseh Products Company
Tecumseh, Michigan


     We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Tecumseh
Products Company and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.

     We have conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
February 18, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales of $480.6 million for the second quarter of 1997 were 2% lower than the
same period in 1996.  Second quarter consolidated earnings of $31.8 million, or
$1.45 per share, were 6% lower than 1996 second quarter earnings of $33.9
million.  The earnings decrease was primarily due to lower profitability in the
Company's Brazilian compressor operations and start-up costs at the new engine
production facility in Georgia.  First half sales of $960.2 million and net
income of $63.3 million, or $2.89 per share, each decreased 3% as compared to
the first half results of 1996.  Decreased demand for room air conditioning in
the U.S. and lagging sales in European markets were the major contributors to
the first half sales decline.

The following table presents results by business segments:

Compressor Products

Worldwide Compressor Products sales for the second quarter decreased 5% to
$301.7 million as compared to $318.9 million in 1996. First half sales of
$580.6 million decreased 8% as compared to the first half of 1996.    The
primary contributor to both the second quarter and first half sales decline was
continued weak demand in the U.S. room air conditioning market after last
summer's unseasonably cool weather.

Second quarter Compressor Products operating margins improved to 10.7% in 1997
versus 10.5% in 1996.  Year-to-date operating margins were 10.2% versus 9.4%.
Margin improvements from cost cutting measures in North American and European
operations  were offset by lower Brazilian profitability resulting from weak
local demand for refrigerators.

Engine and Power Train Products

Worldwide Engine and Power Train Products sales for the second quarter
increased 3% to $150.0 million, as compared to $146.3 million in 1996.  Sales
gains in the North American lawn and garden market were partially offset by
comparatively lower snow engine sales following exceptionally strong sales in
1996.  Sales for the first half of 1997 were $319.6 million, a 6% increase over
the first half of 1996 as a result of stronger sales in the North American lawn
and garden market.

Operating margins for the second quarter of 1997 decreased to 9.3% as compared
to 11.1% during the same period in 1996 due to volume reductions of higher
margin snow product coupled with start-up costs at the new engine production
facility in Georgia.   These same factors contributed to decreased first half
margins of 9.7% as compared to 11.1% for the first half of 1996.

Pump Products

Pump Products sales for the second quarter of 1997 increased 12% to $28.9
million.   First half sales of $60.0 million increased 9% over the prior year
period.   Sales gains were due primarily to strong demand for water-gardening
products.

Second quarter operating margins decreased to 12.8% as compared to 14.4%, while
first half margins decreased to 12.7% as compared to 14.6% in 1996. The reduced
margins were due to sales mix, primarily higher volumes of lower margin sales
to the retail mass merchants.

Outlook

Despite recent warm weather that has helped to reduce bloated air conditioning
inventories, it seems likely that demand for air conditioning compressors will
remain soft at least until late in the year.  Furthermore, the Brazilian white
goods industry is expected to operate at very low levels at least through the
third quarter.  Because of these factors, as well as continued start-up
inefficiencies at the Douglas, Georgia engine facility and lower snow thrower
engine volume, earnings for the last half of the year are expected to fall
short of earnings reported for the last half of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In mid-July, Tecumseh finalized the acquisition of refrigeration compressor
manufacturing facilities from Whirlpool of India, Ltd. and concurrently
acquired 100% of Siel Compressors Ltd. (Siel).  In April of this year, the
Company had initially acquired 50% of Siel.

The newly acquired Whirlpool facilities in the state of Haryana, India will be
devoted to the manufacture of refrigeration compressors.  Tecumseh expects to
expand the capacity over the next several years to include its high efficiency
CFC-free TP compressor.  Siel Compressors Ltd. (which is located in Hyderabad,
Andhra Pradesh, India and is a former licensee of Tecumseh) will continue to
manufacture air conditioning compressors.  Once expanded and fully equipped,
the combined operations will have sufficient capacity to produce 2 to 3 million
compressors annually.

The purchase price of both operations, including the previous 50% acquisition
of Siel, is approximately $45 million.  As of June 30, 1997, $20 million has
been remitted in partial payment, with the remainder to occur in the third
quarter of 1997.  The acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase
accounting method and are expected to be financed through internally available
funds.

The Company continued to maintain a strong and liquid financial position.
Working capital of $564.4 million at June 30, 1997 was up from $549.7 million
at December 31, 1996, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities
approximated 3.0.  First half capital spending of $51.9 million (excluding the
Indian acquisition, as discussed above) included expenditures for a new
electric motor manufacturing facility in Mississippi and additional equipment
for a new engine manufacturing facility in Georgia.  Total capital spending for
1997 should approximate $120-130 million.  Working capital requirements and
planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 and 1998 are expected to
be financed through internally available funds, although the Company may
utilize long-term financing arrangements in connection with various state
investment incentives.
