             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   (in thousands, unless otherwise denoted)
                              September 30, 1995


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of Terex Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994,
has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Terex
Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company"). 
All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been
eliminated.  The equity method is used to account for investments in affiliates
in which the Company has an ownership interest between 20% and 50%. 
Investments in affiliates in which the Company has an ownership interest of
less than 20% are accounted for on the cost method or at fair value in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been made.  Such adjustments consist only of those of a
normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.


NOTE B -- REFINANCING AND ACQUISITION

On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the refinancing of substantially all of
its outstanding debt (the "Refinancing") and, through Terex Cranes, Inc.
("Terex Cranes"), a newly formed subsidiary, completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the outstanding stock of P.P.M., S.A. and Legris
Industries, Inc. (together, "PPM") (the "PPM Acquisition").  PPM designs,
manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers primarily in
North America and Western Europe.

The Refinancing included the private placement to institutional investors of
$250,000 of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2002 (the "New Senior
Secured Notes"), repayment of the Company's old senior secured notes and senior
subordinated notes, totaling approximately $152,600 principal amount, and entry
into a new Credit Facility to replace the Company's existing lending facility
in the U. S.  Until such time as the Company completes an exchange of the New
Senior Secured Notes for an equivalent issue of registered notes, or a shelf
registration statement for the New Senior Secured Notes is effective, the
interest rate on the New Senior Secured Notes will be 13.75%.  The Indenture
for the New Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's ability
to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue, pay
dividends on or redeem equity securities; utilize the proceeds of asset sales;
consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates.  In connection with the issuance of the New
Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued 1,000,000 stock appreciation rights
("SAR") entitling the holders to receive cash or Terex Corporation common
stock, at the option of the Company, in an amount equal to the average closing
sale price of the common stock for 60 trading days prior to the date of
exercise less $7.288 for each SAR.

The Company's new Credit Facility provides that the Company will be able to
borrow (in the form of revolving loans and up to $15,000 in outstanding letters
of credit) up to $100,000, subject to borrowing base limitations.  The Credit
Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's domestic receivables
and inventory.  The amount of borrowings is limited to the sum of the
following:  (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as defined, of
the Company's U.S. businesses other than Clark Material Handling Company
("CMHC"), plus (ii) 70% of the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus
(iii) the lesser of 45% of the value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80%
of the appraised orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (iv) any
availability reserves established by the lenders.  The new Credit Facility
expires May 9, 1998 unless extended by the lenders for one additional year.  At
the option of the Company, revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate
loans bearing interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime
rate and eurodollar rate loans bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum
in excess of the adjusted eurodollar rate.

Approximately $92,612 of the proceeds of the New Senior Secured Notes was used
for the PPM Acquisition, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM
required to be repaid in connection with the acquisition.  In addition, the
Company estimates that the acquisition costs incurred will total approximately
$3,000.  The remainder of the purchase price consisted of the issuance of
redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation
preference of 127 million French francs (approximately $26,051), subject to
adjustment.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by
reference to the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined by an audit
as of the date of closing.  The preferred stock does not bear a dividend and,
accordingly, the Company has valued this stock at approximately $8,840
(discounted at 15%).  The Company has not yet reached agreement with the
sellers about the amount of purchase price adjustment but, based on work
performed, the Company believes that the amount of the preferred stock could
ultimately be reduced.

The PPM Acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method, with the
purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
upon their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.   The
excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired (approximately $65,864)
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.  The estimated fair
values of assets and liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition are summarized
as follows:

     Cash                                $      974
     Accounts receivable                     33,816
     Inventories                             69,107
     Other current assets                    11,866
     Property, plant and equipment           20,516
     Other assets                               268
     Goodwill                                65,864
     Accounts payable and other
      current liabilities                  (84,458)
     Other liabilities                     (13,501)

                                         $  104,452

The Company is in the process of obtaining certain evaluations, estimations,
appraisals and actuarial and other studies for purposes of determining certain
values.  The Company has also estimated costs related to plans to integrate the
activities of PPM into the Company, including plans to terminate excess
employees, exit certain activities and consolidate and restructure certain
functions.   The Company may revise the estimates as additional information is
obtained.

The operating results of PPM are included in the Company's consolidated results
of operations since May 9, 1995.  The following pro forma summary presents the
consolidated results of operations as though the Company completed the PPM
Acquisition on January 1, 1994, after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including amortization of goodwill,  interest expense and amortization of debt
issuance costs on the debt issued in the Refinancing:

  Net property, plant and equipment          $  111,817       $   86,160


NOTE E -- LITIGATION, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including
product liability claims, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and
other contingencies.  Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are
at a preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount
or timing of any cost to the Company.  However, management does not believe
that these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a
material effect on the Company.  When it is probable that a loss has been
incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability
with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such
estimate or for the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not
possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that
(i) govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental
effects, such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal
practices for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for
the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past
spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous substances.  Compliance with
such laws and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on
a continuing basis.

On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman, Randolph W. Lenz,
had retired from his position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In
connection with his retirement, the Company (acting through a committee
comprised of its independent Directors and represented by independent counsel)
and Mr. Lenz have executed a retirement agreement providing certain benefits
to Mr. Lenz and the Company.  The agreement provides, among other things, for a
five-year consulting engagement requiring Mr. Lenz to make himself available to
the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of his time. Mr
Lenz, or his designee, will receive a fee for consulting services which will
include payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995 base salary until
December 31, 1996.  The agreement also provides for the granting of a five-year
$1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum which is subject to being
forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the agreement upon certain
conditions and equity grants having a maximum potential of 200,000 shares of
Terex common stock conditioned upon the Company achieving certain financial
performance objectives in the future. In contemplation of the execution of this
retirement agreement, the Company advanced to Mr. Lenz the principal amount of
the forgivable loan. Mr. Lenz has also agreed not to compete with the Company,
to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the Company's Board of
Directors, not to acquire any additional shares of the Company's common stock,
and, except under certain circumstances, not to sell his shares of common
stock.  The Company recorded a charge of $1.8 million to Other Income/Expense
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 in connection with 
the retirement.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989.  In December 1994, the Company
received an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax
deficiency based on this examination.  The examination report raises a variety
of issues, including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken
during this period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss
carryovers ("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future
taxable income.  If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the
amount of the tax assessment would be approximately $56,000 plus interest and
penalties.  If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the
assessment, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company and could
exceed the Company's resources.  The Company has filed its administrative
appeal to the examination report.  Although management believes that the
Company will be able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial
portion of the deductions questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial
support for the Company's past and future utilization of the NOL's, the
ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the resolution of significant
legal and factual issues.  If the Company's positions prevail on the most
significant issues, management believes that the amounts due would not exceed
amounts previously paid or provided; however, even under such circumstances, it
is possible that the Company's NOL's could be reduced to some extent.  No
additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due as a
result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56,000
plus interest and penalties and the ultimate outcome cannot presently be
determined or estimated.  As discussed above, Mr. Lenz has retired as Chairman
of the Company.  Although his retirement agreement places certain restrictions
on his ability to sell his shares of Common Stock in the Company, in the event
that Mr. Lenz is able to sell a substantial portion of his shares in the 
Company before December 20, 1996, such sale, in combination with the issuance 
of the Warrants in December 20, 1993 and subject to the effects of other 
changes in share ownership of the Company,  could result in a change in control 
for tax purposes.  Such a change in control for tax purposes could possibly 
result in a significant reduction in the amount of NOL's available to the 
Company to offset future taxable income.




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


Results of Operations

Prior to the PPM Acquisition on May 9, 1995, the Company operated in two
industry segments during the periods presented herein:  material handling and
heavy equipment.  The addition of the PPM business to the Company's existing
crane and aerial lift business ("Koehring") has created combined mobile crane
operations sufficient in size to constitute a third industry segment referred
to herein as "Mobile Cranes."  The comparisons presented below have been
reclassified to a three segment basis for consistency.  The Mobile Cranes
segment results for periods prior to May 1995 consist solely of Koehring's
operations which were formerly included in the results of the Heavy Equipment
Segment.


Quarter Ended September 30, 1995

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, selling, general
and administrative expenses, severance and exit costs and income (loss) from
operations, by segment, for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

  Net Sales

Sales increased $76.2 million, or approximately 37%, to $283.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 over the comparable 1994 period.

Material Handling Segment sales were $134.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, an increase of $6.2 million from $128.3 million in the year
earlier period.  The sales mix was approximately 21% parts in the three months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to 19% in the comparable 1994 period. 
Machine sales increased 4%, primarily because of increased output resulting
from actions taken by management during 1994 and shipments of the new Genesis
line.  Parts sales from which the Company generally realizes higher margins
than machine sales, increased 3% because of improved parts inventory
availability.  The labor strike at the Company's parts distribution center has
not had a material continuing effect on parts sales.

Material Handling Segment bookings for the three months ended September 30,
1995 were $111.0 million, a decrease  of $23.4 million, or 17%, from the year
earlier period, as customer demand, especially in North America, began to
soften.  Bookings for parts sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995
decreased 4% from the year earlier period.  Machine order bookings for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 decreased 25% from the year earlier
period, reflecting reduced industry demand in the North American markets. 
Material Handling Segment backlog was $100.1 million at September 30, 1995
compared to $135.9 million at December 31, 1994 and $119.8 million at September
30, 1994.

Heavy Equipment Segment sales increased $7.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 from the three months ended September 30, 1994.  Machines
sales increased 15%, and parts sales increased 4%.  The sales mix was
approximately 37% parts for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared
to 41% parts for the comparable 1994 period.

Heavy Equipment Segment bookings for the three months ended September 30, 1995
were $81.0 million, an increase of $42 million, or 108%, from the year earlier
period.  Bookings for parts sales, from which the Company generally realizes
higher margins than machine sales, decreased 7% from the three months ended
September 30, 1994.  Machine bookings for the three months ended September 30,
1995 increased $44.0 million from the comparable 1994 period reflecting higher
international orders, including a large Australian order received by the
Company's Unit Rig business.  Heavy Equipment Segment backlog was $55.2 million
at September 30, 1995 compared to $67.8 million at December 31, 1994 and $48.2
million at September 30, 1994.

Mobile Crane Segment sales were $84.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, an increase of $61.6 million from $22.4 million in the year
earlier period reflecting operations of the PPM businesses acquired in May
1995.  Mobile Crane Segment backlog was $81.6 million at September 30, 1995,
reflecting the additional PPM backlog acquired, compared to $11.7 million at
December 31, 1994 and $11.9 million at September 30, 1994.

  Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased  $8.0
million compared to the three months ended September 30, 1994.

The Material Handling Segment's gross profit of $10.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 was even with $10.8 million for the prior
year's period.  The gross profit percentage in the Material Handling Segment
was 8% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and for the comparable
1994 period.  Lower overall margins caused by increased material prices and
manufacturing inefficiencies related to vendors' continuing inability to meet
demand were offset by cost reduction initiatives.

The Heavy Equipment Segment's gross profit increased $0.9 million to $9.2
million  for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $8.3 million
for the comparable 1994 period.  The gross profit percentage in the Heavy
Equipment Segment decreased  to 14% for the three months ended September 30,
1995 from 15% for the three months ended September 30, 1994, reflecting
continuing improvements in manufacturing efficiency, offset by a decrease in
the sales mix of higher margin parts sales during the three months ended
September 30, 1995.

Mobile Crane Segment's gross profit increased $7.2 million to $10.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $3.7 million for the
prior year's period, reflecting the PPM Acquisition and improved performance at
Koehring.

  Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $23.0 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $16.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1994, reflecting the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. 
Material Handling Segment engineering, selling and administrative expenses
decreased to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from
$9.8 million for the comparable 1994 period, primarily as a result of severance
actions taken by management during the second half of 1994 and the first half
of 1995.  Heavy Equipment Segment engineering, selling and administrative
expenses increased to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1995 from $5.1 million for the comparable 1994 period primarily due to costs
associated with a new parts sales office and a new U.K. dealership.  Mobile
Crane Segment engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to
$9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $1.6 million
for the comparable 1994 period, reflecting the PPM Acquisition in May 1995.

  Income (Loss) from Operations

The Material Handling Segment income from operations of $3.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 represents a $2.2 million improvement
over the $1.0 million income in the comparable 1994 period.   As discussed
above, increased sales and reduced costs contributed to the increase in income
from operations for the three months ended September 30, 1995.

Heavy Equipment Segment income from operations increased by $0.3 million to
$3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $3.2 million in
the comparable 1994 period, primarily due to increased sales.

Mobile Crane Segment income from operations of $1.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 decreased by $0.6 million over the comparable
1994 period, primarily due to losses of the PPM businesses acquired in May
1995.

On a consolidated basis, the Company realized operating income of $7.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1995, compared to operating income of
$6.1 million for the comparable 1994 period.

  Other Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased to $11.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 from $7.7 million in the comparable 1994 period as a result
of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM Acquisition in May 1995.  The
Company realized gains in the three months ended September 30, 1994 of $4.3
million from the sale of shares of common stock of its former subsidiary,
Fruehauf Trailer Corporation ("Fruehauf").  The Company owns 250,000 shares of
Fruehauf common stock which it received in settlement of certain obligations of
Fruehauf.  The Company recorded a charge of $1.8 million in the three months
ended September 30, 1995 for payments related to the retirement of its former
chairman, as described more fully in "Item 5 -- Other Information" in Part II
of this form 10-Q.

The balance of the provision for income taxes generally represents taxes
withheld on foreign royalties and dividends, and the fluctuation in the
provision for income tax is due to fluctuations in these items.

  Net Sales

Sales increased  $193.4 million to $766.8, or approximately 34%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 over the comparable 1994 period.

Material Handling Segment sales were $404.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, an increase of $68.7 million from $335.7 million in the
year earlier period.  The sales mix was approximately18% parts in the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to 20% in the comparable 1994 period. 
Machine sales increased 22%, primarily because of increased output resulting
from actions taken by management during 1994 and shipments of the new Genesis
line.  Parts sales increased 7% because of improved parts inventory
availability partially offset by the adverse effects of a labor strike at the
Company's parts distribution center during the second quarter.  The strike has
not had a material continuing effect on parts sales.

Material Handling Segment bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
were $368.7 million, an increase  of $59.8 million, or 19%, from the year
earlier period, on strong customer demand early in the year for the new Genesis
line.  Bookings for parts sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
from which the Company generally realized higher margins than machine sales,
increased 6% from the year earlier period.  Machine order bookings for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 increased 17% from the year earlier period,
reflecting the favorable acceptance of the Company's new Genesis line of IC
trucks, introduced in December 1994.  Material Handling Segment backlog was
$100.1 million at September 30, 1995 compared to $135.9 million at December 31,
1994 and $119.8 million at September 30, 1994.

Heavy Equipment Segment sales increased $17.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Machines
sales increased 9%, and parts sales increased 10%.  The sales mix was
approximately 35% parts for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared
to 35% parts for the comparable 1994 period.  Heavy Equipment Segment parts
sales were also adversely affected by the strike at the parts distribution
center early in the period, to a lesser degree than the Material Handling
Segment.

Heavy Equipment Segment bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
were $171.3 million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 8%, from the year earlier
period.  Bookings for parts sales, from which the Company generally realizes
higher margins than machine sales, increased 12% from the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  Machine bookings for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 increased 5% from the comparable 1994 period.  Heavy Equipment Segment
backlog was $55.2 million at September 30, 1995 compared to $67.8 million at
December 31, 1994 and $48.2 million at September 30, 1994.

Mobile Crane segment sales were $172.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, an increase of $105.8 million from $66.9 million in the
year earlier period due to the PPM Acquisition in May 1995.  Mobile Crane
Segment backlog was $81.6 million at September 30, 1995, reflecting the
additional PPM backlog acquired, compared to $11.7 million at December 31, 1994
and $11.9 million at September 30, 1994.

  Gross Profit

Gross profit of $76.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$18.9 million, or 33%, higher than gross profit of $57.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.

The Material Handling Segment's gross profit increased $4.3 million to $26.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $22.4 million
for the prior year's period.  The gross profit percentage in the Material
Handling Segment was 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and for
the comparable 1994 period.  Favorable efficiencies due to higher production
and sales volumes and the effects of 1994 severance actions were offset by
additional costs associated with the start-up of production of the new Genesis
product line and manufacturing inefficiencies related to vendors' continuing
inability to meet demand.

The Heavy Equipment Segment's gross profit increased $1.8 million to $26.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $24.6 million
for the comparable 1994 period.  The gross profit percentage in the Heavy
Equipment Segment was 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

Mobile Crane Segment's gross profit increased $12.8 million to $23.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $10.4 million for the
prior year's period reflecting the addition of the May through September 1995
results of the PPM businesses.

  Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses  increased to $61.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $55.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.  Material Handling Segment engineering,
selling and administrative expenses decreased to $24.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 from $33.2 million for the comparable 1994
period, primarily as a result of severance actions taken by management during
the second half of 1994.  Heavy Equipment Segment engineering, selling and
administrative expenses increased to $17.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from $15.7 million for the comparable 1994 period as a
result of costs associated with the new parts service business.  Mobile Crane
Segment engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $18.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $4.9 million for the
comparable 1994 period reflecting the PPM business acquired in May 1995. 
Corporate administrative expenses in 1994 included a charge of $2.2 million in
connection with the termination of a management contract with a related party.

  Severance and Exit Costs

The Company announced personnel reductions totaling approximately 134 employees
in the Material Handling Segment's North American  operations during the second
quarter of 1995 as a continuation of the Company's programs to increase
manufacturing efficiency,  reduce costs and improve liquidity.  The Company
recorded a combined  charge of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 1995  for
severance costs associated with these actions and additional costs associated
with the closing of certain administrative and warehouse facilities.  

During the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a charge of $4.5
million principally related to severance costs in the Material Handling
Segment's North American and European operations.  In June 1994, the Company
announced personnel reductions in plant supervision, engineering, marketing and
administration totaling approximately 160 employees.  The $4.5 million charge
represents severance costs associated with these actions.

  Income (Loss) from Operations

The Material Handling Segment loss from operations of $1.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 represents a $13.7 million improvement over the
$15.1 million loss in the comparable 1994 period.   As discussed above,
increased sales and reduced costs contributed to the improvement in income from
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Heavy Equipment Segment income from operations improved by $0.6 million to $9.3
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 from $8.7 million in the
comparable 1994 period, primarily as a result of reduced costs, offset by costs
associated with the start up of a new parts service business.

Mobile Crane Segment income from operations of $4.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 decreased by $1.0 over the comparable 1994 period,
primarily due to losses of the PPM businesses acquired in May 1995.

On a consolidated basis, the Company realized operating income of $11.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to an operating loss of
$2.9 million for the comparable 1994 period.

  Other Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased to $27.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from $22.9 million in the comparable 1994 period as a result
of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM Acquisition in May 1995.  The
Company realized gains of $24.4 million.  The Company owns 250,000 shares of
Fruehauf common stock which it received in settlement of certain obligations of
Fruehauf.

The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to recognize the impairment in value of certain properties
held for sale. 

The Company recorded a charge of $1.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 for payments related to the retirement of its former
chairman in August 1995, as described more fully in "Item 5 -- Other
Information" in Part II of this Form 10-Q.  The balance of the provision for
income taxes generally represents taxes withheld on foreign royalties and
dividends, and the fluctuation in the provision for income tax is due to
fluctuations in these items.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's businesses are working capital intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories, capital expenditures
for repair, replacement and upgrading of existing facilities as well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers.  The Company has
significant debt service  requirements including  semi-annual interest payments
on senior debt and monthly interest payments on its credit facility.

Net cash of $27.9 million was used in operating activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  Net cash used by investing activities was
$95.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 principally due
to the PPM Acquisition as described below.  Net cash provided by financing
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $127.5 million,
primarily from the Refinancing discussed below.  Cash and cash equivalents
totaled $12.5 million at September 30, 1995.

Factors affecting future liquidity

The Company announced personnel reductions totaling approximately 134 employees
in the Material Handling Segment's North American operations during the second
quarter of 1995 as a continuation of the Company's programs to increase
manufacturing efficiency,  reduce costs and improve liquidity.  The Company
recorded a combined  charge of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 1995  for
severance costs associated with these actions and additional costs associated
with the closing of certain administrative and warehouse facilities.  

As discussed below, the Company has refinanced its senior and subordinated
debt, established new credit facilities and borrowed additional funds to
complete the PPM Acquisition which will impact future operating results,
sources of liquidity and debt service requirements.

On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the Refinancing and the PPM Acquisition. 
The Refinancing included the private placement to institutional investors of
$250 million of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2002 (the "New Senior
Secured Notes"), repayment of the Company's old senior secured notes and senior
subordinated notes, totaling approximately $152.6 million principal amount, and
entry into a new Credit Facility to replace the Company's existing lending
facility in the U.S.  Until such time as the Company completes an exchange of
the New Senior Secured Notes for an equivalent issue of registered notes, or a
shelf registration statement for the New Senior Secured Notes is effective, the
interest rate on the New Senior Secured Notes will be 13.75%.  The Indenture
for the New Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's ability
to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue, pay
dividends on or redeem equity securities; utilize the proceeds of assets sales;
consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates.  In connection with the issuance of the New
Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued 1,000,000 stock appreciation rights
("SAR") entitling the holders to receive cash or Common Stock, at the option of
the Company, in an amount equal to the average closing sale price of the common
stock for 60 trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288 for each
SAR.

Approximately $92.6 million of the proceeds of the New Senior Secured Notes was
used for the PPM Acquisition, including the repayment of certain indebtedness
of PPM required to be repaid in connection with the acquisition.  In addition,
the Company estimates that the acquisition costs incurred will total
approximately $3.0 million.  The remainder of the purchase price consisted of
the issuance of redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate
liquidation preference of 127 million French francs (approximately $26.1
million), subject to adjustment.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment
calculated by reference to the consolidated net asset value of PPM as
determined by an audit as of the date of closing.  The preferred stock does not
bear a dividend and, accordingly, the Company has valued this stock at
approximately $8.8 million (discounted at 15%).  The Company has not yet
reached agreement with the sellers about the amount of purchase price
adjustment but, based on work performed, the Company believes that the amount
of the preferred stock could ultimately be reduced.

The Company's Credit Facility provides that the Company will be able to borrow
(in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 million in outstanding letters of
credit) up to $100 million.  The Credit Facility is secured by substantially
all of the Company's domestic receivables and inventory (including PPM).  The
amount of borrowings is limited to the sum of the following:  (i) 75% of the
net amount of eligible receivables, as defined, of the Company's U.S.
businesses other than CMHC, plus (ii) 70% of the net amount of CMHC eligible
receivables, plus (iii) the lesser of 45% of the value of eligible inventory,
as defined, or 80% of the appraised orderly liquidation value of eligible
inventory less (iv) any availability reserves established by the lenders.  The
Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998 unless extended by the lenders for one
additional year.  At the option of the Company, revolving loans may be in the
form of prime rate loans initially bearing interest at the rate of 1.75% per
annum in excess of the prime rate and eurodollar rate loans initially bearing
interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted eurodollar
rate.

The Company's debt service obligations for the remainder of 1995 include an
interest payment of $17.7 million on November 15, 1995 on the New Senior
Secured Notes which amount has been deposited with the Trustee for payment to
the holders, as well as interest payments of approximately $0.6 million monthly
on the Credit Facility.  Management believes that, together with cash generated
from operations, the Refinancing provides the Company with adequate liquidity
to meet the Company's operating and debt service requirements.  The balance
outstanding under the Credit Facility as of October 31, 1995 was $60.6 million,
and the additional amount the Company could have borrowed was $23.0 million as
of that date.  Management intends to seek additional working capital financing
facilities for the Company's international operations to provide additional
liquidity worldwide, but there can be no assurances whether, or under what
terms, such additional facilities can be obtained.

CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989.  In December 1994, the Company
received an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax
deficiency based on this examination.  The examination report raises a variety
of issues, including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken
during this period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss
carryovers ("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future
taxable income.  If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the
amount of the tax assessment would be approximately $56,000 plus interest and
penalties.  If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the
assessment, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company and could
exceed the Company's resources.  The Company has filed its administrative
appeal to the examination report.  Although management believes that the
Company will be able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial
portion of the deductions questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial
support for the Company's past and future utilization of the NOL's, the
ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the resolution of significant
legal and factual issues.  If the Company's positions prevail on the most
significant issues, management believes that the amounts due would not exceed
amounts previously paid or provided; however, even under such circumstances, it
is possible that the Company's NOL's could be reduced to some extent.  No
additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due as a
result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56,000
plus interest and penalties and the ultimate outcome cannot presently be
determined or estimated.  As discussed below (see "Part II -- Other Information
- - -- Item 5"), Mr. Lenz has retired as Chairman of the Company.  Although his
retirement agreement places certain restrictions on his ability to sell his
shares of Common Stock in the Company, in the event that Mr. Lenz is able to
sell a substantial portion of his shares in the Company before December 20,
1996, such sale, in combination with the issuance of the Warrants in December
20, 1993 and subject to the effects of other changes in share ownership of the
Company,  could result in a change in control for tax purposes.  Such a change
in control for tax purposes could possibly result in a significant reduction in
the amount of NOL's available to the Company to offset future taxable income.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in March of 1994
initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of
its affiliates, to determine whether violations of certain aspects of the
Federal securities laws have taken place.  The Company is cooperating with the
Commission in its investigation and it is not possible at this time to
determine the outcome of the Commission's investigation.

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including
product liability claims, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and
guarantees.  Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a
preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the Company.  However, management does not believe that
these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a material
effect on the Company.  When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect
to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for
the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate
the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that
(i) govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental
effects, such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal
practices for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for
the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past
spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous substances.  Compliance with
such laws and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on
a continuing basis.



PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

In December 1992, a Class Action complaint was filed against Fruehauf Trailer
Corporation ("Fruehauf," a former subsidiary of the Company), the Company,
certain of Fruehauf's then officers and directors and certain of the
underwriters of the initial public offering of Fruehauf, in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division,
alleging, among other things, violations of certain provisions of the federal
securities laws, and seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. 
The Company has settled the plaintiffs' claims with court approval for the sum
of $0.25 million, and thus this litigation is no longer pending with respect to
the Company.

For information concerning other  contingencies see "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Contingencies
and Uncertainties."


Item 5.   Other Information

On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman, Randolph W. Lenz,
had retired from his position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In
connection with his retirement, the Company (acting through a committee
comprised of its independent Directors and represented by independent counsel)
and Mr. Lenz have executed a retirement agreement providing certain benefits to
Mr. Lenz and the Company.  The agreement provides, among other things, for a
five-year consulting engagement requiring Mr. Lenz to make himself available to
the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of his time. Mr
Lenz,   or his designee, will receive a fee for consulting services which will
include payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995 base salary until
December 31, 1996.  The agreement also provides for the granting of a five-year
$1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum which is subject to being
forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the agreement upon certain
conditions and equity grants having a maximum potential of 200,000 shares of
Terex common stock conditioned upon the Company achieving certain financial
performance objectives in the future. In contemplation of the execution of this
retirement agreement, the Company advanced to Mr. Lenz the principal amount of
the forgivable loan. Mr. Lenz has also agreed not to compete with the Company,
to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the Company's Board of
Directors, not to acquire any additional shares of the Company's common stock,
and, except under certain circumstances, not to sell his shares of common
stock.

                                   AGREEMENT


AGREEMENT dated as of November 2, 1995 between Terex Corporation, a Delaware
corporation  (the "Company"), and Randolph W. Lenz (the "Retiring Chairman").


                             W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Retiring Chairman has served for more than twelve years as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"); 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Retiring Chairman have agreed that the Retiring
Chairman shall take early retirement and step down from his positions as
Chairman and a member of the Board, and, accordingly, the Retiring Chairman has
relinquished his position as Chairman and his membership on the Board in
contemplation of this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Retiring Chairman and the Company desire to enter into certain
agreements regarding the Retiring Chairman's stock holdings in the Company; 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to utilize the Retiring Chairman's experience and
abilities and has offered to engage him as a consultant to advise the Company;
and

WHEREAS, the Retiring Chairman desires to accept such engagement and assume his
other obligations hereunder upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
Company and the Retiring Chairman hereby agree as follows:

1.   Retirement.  The Retiring Chairman has retired as Chairman of the Board
and from all other offices and directorships that he currently holds with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and has ceased to be an
employee of the Company effective as of August 28, 1995.  

2.   Consulting Engagement. Effective as of the date hereof (the "Effective
Date"), the Company hereby engages the Retiring Chairman, and the Retiring
Chairman hereby accepts such engagement upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, to perform such consulting, advisory
and other services for the Company during the Term (as defined in Section 3
below) as the Company may reasonably request.  Such services shall include, but
not be limited to, advice to the Board regarding strategic planning,
acquisitions and divestitures and financing.  From the Effective Date until the
third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Retiring Chairman shall be
available to devote approximately 50% of his time to provide such services to
the Company.  From the third anniversary of the Effective Date until the fourth
anniversary of the Effective Date, the Retiring Chairman shall be available to
devote approximately 25% of his time to provide such services to the Company. 
From the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date until the Termination Date
(as defined below), the Retiring Chairman shall be available to devote
approximately 12.5% of his time to provide such services to the Company.  The
Company shall provide the Retiring Chairman with an office and secretarial
assistance from the Effective Date through December 31, 1996.

3.   Consulting Term; Effect of Death or Disability.  The Retiring Chairman's
engagement under this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and
shall continue until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the
"Termination Date").  The period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on
the Termination Date shall be referred to herein as the "Term".  On the
Termination Date, the Company's obligation to pay or provide any compensation,
except for compensation accrued hereunder prior to the Termination Date, shall
terminate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Retiring Chairman's death
or Disability (as defined below), the Retiring Chairman or, if applicable, his
estate or beneficiary, as the case may be, shall remain subject to the
provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, but shall not be required to perform
any services pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that
if the Retiring Chairman's incapacity that resulted in a Disability no longer
exists, he shall be required to perform services under Section 2 for the
balance, if any, of the Term.  In the event of the Retiring Chairman's death or
Disability, and subject to the continued compliance with the provisions of
Section 7 of this Agreement by the Retiring Chairman or, if applicable, his
estate or beneficiary, as the case may be, the Company shall continue to
perform its obligations under Sections 4(a), 4(e) and 4(g) of this Agreement. 
For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the inability of the
Retiring Chairman to perform his services as required under this Agreement due
to physical or mental incapacity or illness for more than six consecutive
months or for shorter periods aggregating six months during any 12-month
period.  The Retiring Chairman shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate
with any physician engaged by the Company to determine whether or not
Disability exists, and the determination of such physician made in writing to
the Company and the Retiring Chairman shall be final and conclusive for all
purposes of this Agreement.

4.   Compensation.  Provided that the Retiring Chairman has performed all of
his obligations under this Agreement, he shall be entitled to the following:

     (a)  Fee.  From August 28, 1995 until December 31, 1996, the Company shall
pay the Retiring Chairman or the Pre-approved Delegatee (as such term is
defined in Section 13 below) a fee at a rate equal to the Retiring Chairman's
base salary in effect immediately prior to his retirement, payable in
accordance with standard payroll practices of the Company.

     (b)  Benefits; Perquisites.  From August 28, 1995 until December 31, 1996,
the Retiring Chairman shall be eligible to continue to participate in the
Company's insurance or health and welfare programs in which he was
participating immediately prior to his retirement, on the same terms and with
the same contribution rates as in effect immediately prior to his retirement. 
If the Retiring Chairman's participation is not permitted under the terms of
such plans, the Company will provide the Retiring Chairman with substantially
equivalent benefits with the same contribution rates as are currently in
effect. The Retiring Chairman shall also receive such ordinary and customary
benefits as may be generally made available from time to time to the senior
executives of the Company.

     (c)  Automobile.  The Company shall arrange to transfer title to the
Retiring Chairman of the automobile that the Company provided for his use
immediately prior to his retirement.

     (d)  Reimbursement.  The Retiring Chairman shall be reimbursed by the
Company for travel and business expenses reasonably incurred in performing his
duties under this Agreement, in accordance with the usual policies of the
Company.

     (e)  Loan.  As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the
Company shall lend to the Retiring Chairman $1,800,000, which amount shall be
inclusive of any prior advances paid by the Company to the Retiring Chairman or
his Pre-approved Delegatee, in exchange for the execution of a five-year
forgivable note (the "Note"), in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A.  Subject in each case to the Retiring Chairman's continued
compliance with the terms of, and his obligations under, this Agreement, 4/15
of the face amount of the Note (together with accrued interest) shall be
forgiven on each of the first three anniversaries of the Effective Date,  2/15
of the face amount of the Note (together with accrued interest) shall be
forgiven on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and 1/15 of the face
amount of the Note (together with accrued interest) shall be forgiven on the
Termination Date.  In the event that the Retiring Chairman breaches in any
material respect any of the provisions of this Agreement, the remaining amount
of the Note shall be due and payable immediately.

     (f)  Existing Options.  The Company hereby agrees that, so long as the
Retiring Chairman is in compliance with the terms of, and his obligations
under, this Agreement, any options to purchase shares of stock of the Company
held by the Retiring Chairman as of the Effective Date (the "Existing Options")
shall continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the
grant of such Existing Options as if the Retiring Chairman were an active
employee of the Company during the Term.  


     (g)  Equity Grants.  

          (i)    Price-Based Stock Awards.  Subject in each case to the

each award period, the Company shall grant to the Retiring Chairman the
following numbers of shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
the Company ("Common Stock"):  (x) 33,333 if the average closing sales price of

of Common Stock is not granted during one of the above award periods because
the applicable average closing sales price target is not achieved during such
award period, the number of ungranted shares of Common Stock for such award
period shall roll forward to the subsequent award period, and if the applicable
average closing sales price target for the subsequent award period is met, then
the Retiring Chairman shall be granted the number of shares of Common Stock for
the subsequent award period in addition to the number of shares for the
previous award period.

18-month period following the Effective Date, (1) the Terex Cranes Division
("TC") achieves EBITDA of at least $36 million within any 12 consecutive month
period during such 18-month period or (2) the Company has realized an annual
return at a rate of at least 20% per annum from the date of acquisition on its
Invested Capital in TC.  The term "Invested Capital" shall have the meaning
indicated in Exhibit B attached hereto.

          (iii)  Stockholder Rights.  The Retiring Chairman shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder until the Retiring Chairman shall have received such shares, and no
adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in
respect of any share for which the record date is prior to the date upon which
the Retiring Chairman shall become the holder of record of such shares of
Common Stock.

          (iv)   Dilution and Other Adjustments.  In the event of a stock
dividend, stock split or similar transaction, the Board shall make any or all
of the following adjustments as are necessary or advisable (the form of which
shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to provide the

entitled had such event not occurred:  (i) adjust the number of shares of
Common Stock to be granted to the Retiring Chairman or (ii) make any other
adjustments, or take such action, as the Board, in its reasonable discretion,
deems appropriate.  Such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes.

is merged or consolidated with another corporation, (ii) all or substantially
all the assets of the Company are acquired by another corporation, person or
entity, (iii) the Company is reorganized, dissolved or liquidated (each such

Reorganization Event, then the Board shall make upon consummation of such
Reorganization Event any or all of the adjustments described in Section
4(g)(iv) as are necessary or advisable (the form of which shall be determined
by the Board in its sole discretion) to provide the Retiring Chairman with a
benefit equivalent to that to which he would have been entitled had such event
not occurred.

5.   Independent Contractor.  The Retiring Chairman hereby acknowledges that he
or his Pre-approved Delegatee is being retained by the Company as an
independent contractor and not as an employee. Accordingly, the Retiring
Chairman hereby acknowledges that:  (i) he or his Pre-approved Delegatee is
solely responsible for and shall file, on a timely basis, tax returns and
payments required to be filed with or made to any relevant tax authorities with
respect to his performance of consulting services hereunder; and (ii) the
Company will not withhold any taxes from any compensation paid by the Company
to the Retiring Chairman or his Pre-approved Delegatee hereunder unless legally
required to do so.

6.   Company Property.  The Retiring Chairman hereby agrees that, after the
Termination Date, he shall return all Company property, including, without
limitation, all computer hardware, software, diskettes and files, all business
records, papers and documents kept or made by him relating to the business of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, any written materials not
previously made available to the public, and any and all records and documents
made by him or coming into his possession concerning the business or affairs of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  In addition, the Retiring
Chairman hereby agrees that he shall not retain any copies of any of the items
referred to in this Section 6.

7.   Standstill Agreement. 

     (a)  Representations.  The Retiring Chairman hereby represents that, since
August 25, 1995, he has not (i) engaged in any purchase, sale or other transfer
of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or (ii) entered into any
agreement or arrangement with respect to any shares of capital stock of the
Company (whether or not beneficially owned by him) or any rights appurtenant
thereto, except as identified in Exhibit C hereto.


     (b)  Corporate Governance Matters.  For a period of three years from the
Effective Date (the "Standstill Period"), the Retiring Chairman covenants and
agrees that he shall:

          (i)    be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of
stockholders of the Company, so that all shares of the capital stock of the
Company entitled to vote beneficially owned by the Retiring Chairman may be
counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such
meetings;

          (ii)   vote or cause to be voted at all meetings of the stockholders
of the Company all shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote
beneficially owned by the Retiring Chairman in favor of nominees unanimously
approved by the Board's Nominating Committee and with respect to all other
matters in such manner as is recommended to the stockholders of the Company by
the Board;

          (iii)  not make, or in any way participate in, directly or
indirectly, any solicitation of proxies, or become a "participant" in any
"solicitation" or "election contest" (as such terms are defined or used in
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")), or seek to influence any person or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the voting of any
shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote, or execute any
written consent in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, with
respect to any matter in opposition to the recommendation of the Board; or

          (iv)   vote or cause to be voted all shares of the capital stock of
the Company entitled to vote beneficially owned by the Retiring Chairman in
favor of the creation of a Nominating Committee and a Compensation Committee of
the Board. 

     (c)  Restrictions on Acquisitions.  The Retiring Chairman agrees that
during the Standstill Period he shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Board, directly or indirectly purchase, acquire or own, offer or agree to
purchase, acquire or own, or join in any group (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) formed for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring
or owning any shares of the capital stock of the Company or direct or indirect
rights or options to acquire any shares of the capital stock of the Company,
other than (a) shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially owned by the
Retiring Chairman on the date of this Agreement, (b) shares of  Common Stock
awarded to the Retiring Chairman pursuant to Section 4(f) of this Agreement and
(c) shares of capital stock of the Company acquired in connection with (i) a
stock split, reverse split or other reclassification affecting outstanding
securities of the Company or (ii) a stock dividend or other pro rata
distribution by the Company to holders of its outstanding securities; provided,
however, that the Retiring Chairman shall be entitled to purchase or otherwise
acquire in ordinary course open market transactions up to that number of shares
of Common Stock which, when added to (x) all shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by him and (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable or
potentially issuable to him under any options, warrants or other rights to
acquire Common Stock, whether or not at the time vested or exercisable,
including without limitation, all of the shares of Common Stock contemplated by
Section 4(g) above, shall in the aggregate not result in the Retiring Chairman
beneficially owning 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     (d)  Restrictions on Sales and Encumbrances.  

          (i)    The Retiring Chairman agrees that during the Standstill
Period, without the prior written consent of the Board, he shall not, directly
or indirectly:

                 (x)   make any sale, assignment, transfer, distribution or
other disposition (each, a "Sale") of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company other than any Sales made in ordinary course open market transactions
complying with the quantity and other restrictions embodied in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (other than the prohibition of solicitations contained in
such rule); or

                 (y)   make any Sale of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company if, as a result of such Sale any person or group (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) would own 10% or more of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), unless prior to
the completion of any such Sale, the proposed purchaser of such shares has
commenced a tender offer to purchase from the public stockholders of the
Company the Pro Rata Portion of the shares of Common Stock held by the public
stockholders at the same price being paid to the Retiring Chairman, where "Pro
Rata Portion" means the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product
of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the public
stockholders and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total
number of shares proposed to be sold by the Retiring Chairman, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by the Retiring Chairman (on a fully diluted basis);

          provided, however, that this Section 7(d)(i) shall not prohibit any
Sales of shares of the capital stock of the Company owned by the Retiring
Chairman made pursuant to the terms of existing financing arrangements or
substitute financing arrangements approved by the Board, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that the Board would routinely
approve a substitution of a standard margin account at a given major
broker-dealer for that at another major broker-dealer).



          (ii)   The restrictions on Sales provided by Section 7(d)(i) shall
terminate in the event that the average closing sales price of shares of Common
Stock on the NYSE during any 30 consecutive trading day period equals or
exceeds:

                 (x)  $9 per share prior to May 15, 1997;

                 (y)  $11 per share prior to May 15, 1998; or

                 (z)  $13 per share prior to the termination of the Standstill
Period.

     (e)  Incidental Registration Rights.  If the Company at any time proposes
to register any securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other
than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or similar forms), it
will at such time promptly give notice to the Retiring Chairman of its
intention to do so (the "Registration Notice").  The Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to include in the proposed registration statement, at
the Retiring Chairman's expense (insofar as such inclusion results in any
incremental expenses), all shares of Common Stock held by the Retiring Chairman
that the Company is requested in writing, within 15 calendar days after the
Registration Notice is given, to register by the Retiring Chairman; provided,
however, that the incidential registration rights of this Section 7(e) shall
only be applicable, if (x) such inclusion is not restricted by any agreement,
covenant or undertaking to which the Company is then subject and (y) any sales
of shares by the Retiring Chairman pursuant to such registration are effected
in compliance with the restrictions of Section 7(d) above; provided further,
that, if the managing underwriter for a registration pursuant to this Section
7(e) shall advise the Company that, in its judgment, the number of securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of
Common Stock (the "Permitted Sale Number") that can be sold in an orderly
manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, or that
inclusion of any of the Retiring Chairman's shares of Common Stock would
otherwise be detrimental to the effectuation of the Company's offering on a
basis satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall include in such offering
(i) first, all the securities the Company proposes to register for its own
account and (ii) second, to the extent that the shares of Common Stock to be
included by the Company are less than the Permitted Sale Number, or to the
extent that such shares of the Retiring Chairman can be included without having
such detrimental effect, all shares of Common Stock requested to be included by
the Retiring Chairman.  The Retiring Chairman agrees to take such actions or
refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Company
to effect the registered offerings described in this Section 7(e). 

8.   Confidentiality.  The Retiring Chairman hereby covenants and agrees that
he will not at any time, except with the prior written consent of the Company
pursuant to authority granted by a resolution of the Board, directly or
indirectly, disclose any secret or confidential information that he learned by
reason of his association with the Company or any if its subsidiaries and
affiliates.  The term "confidential information" includes, without limitation,
information not previously disclosed to the public or to the trade by the
Company's management with respect to the Company's or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries' products, facilities and methods, trade secrets and other
intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports,
product price lists, customer lists, financial information (including the
revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Company's products),
business plans, prospects or opportunities, but shall exclude any information
already in the public domain.  

9.   Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.  In consideration for the payments
provided under Section 4 of this Agreement, the Retiring Chairman agrees that
during the Term, neither he nor any affiliate shall, either on his own behalf
or as a partner, officer, director, employee, agent or shareholder, engage in,
invest in (except as a holder of less than 5% of the outstanding capital of any
corporation with a class of equity security registered under the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended) or render services to any person or entity engaged in the
primary businesses in which the Company is then engaged and situated or
operating within the United States of America ("Competitive Business").  The
Retiring Chairman agrees that, during the Term, neither he nor any affiliate
shall, either alone or on behalf of any business engaged in a Competitive
Business, solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, any
person employed by, or an agent of, the Company to terminate his or her
contract or employment or agency, as the case may be, with the Company.

10.  Injunctive Relief.  Without intending to limit the remedies available to
the Company, the Retiring Chairman acknowledges that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in Section 9 may result in material and irreparable injury
to the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not
be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the
event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to
obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent
injunction restraining the Retiring Chairman from engaging in activities
prohibited by Section 9 or such other relief as may be required specifically to
enforce any of the covenants in Section 9.  If for any reason a final decision
of any court determines that the restrictions under Section 9 are not
reasonable or that consideration therefor is inadequate, such restrictions
shall be interpreted, modified or rewritten by such court to include as much of
the duration and scope identified in Section 9 as will render such restriction
valid and enforceable.

11.  Preservation of Indemnification and Other Rights; General Release.  In
consideration of the payments and covenants herein, and except with respect to
(i) the Company's obligation to pay the Retiring Chairman his earned and unpaid
base compensation through the Effective Date, (ii) any benefits to which the
Retiring Chairman is entitled under any ERISA plan accrued as of the date
hereof, (iii) the Company's obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the
Company's pre-existing obligation to indemnify the Retiring Chairman in
accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws as in
effect on August 25, 1995, the Retiring Chairman hereby releases and forever
discharges the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including both current
and future, and each of their respective officers, employees, directors and
agents from any and all claims, actions and causes of action that he may have,
or in the future may possess, arising out of his relationship with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, his service as an officer, director
or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and the
termination of such relationship or service, including, without limitation, any
claims arising under any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law.  The
Retiring Chairman further agrees that the payments and benefits described in
this Agreement will be in full satisfaction of any and all claims for payment
or benefits that he may have against the Company, its subsidiaries or
affiliates arising out of his employment relationship, his service as an
officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and the termination thereof.

Subject in each case to the Retiring Chairman's continued compliance with the
terms of, and his obligations under, the agreement (the "Agreement") dated
_______ __, 1995 between the Retiring Chairman the Company, the Company shall
forgive and shall deem the Retiring Chairman to have paid the following

This Note is subject to the following further terms and conditions:

Section 1.  Mandatory Prepayment Upon Breach of Agreement.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, all outstanding principal and
accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall become due and payable on the
sixtieth day after the breach by the Retiring Chairman in any material respect
of any of the provisions of the Agreement.

Section 2.  Effect of Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the Retiring Chairman's death or Disability (as
defined in the Agreement), subject to the continued compliance with the

Section 3.  Events of Default.  Upon the occurrence of any of the following

unremedied for ten days following the receipt by the Retiring Chairman of

Agreement;

then, and in any such event, the holder of this Note may declare, by notice of

this Note outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall
become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor
and all other demands and notices of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived.   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the accrued and

hereunder, the Retiring Chairman shall pay costs of collection, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the holder in the enforcement hereof.

No delay or failure by the holder of this Note in the exercise of any right or
remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
the holder hereof of any right or remedy shall preclude other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

     (a)  The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

                                                                      EXHIBIT B

                               Invested Capital


Invested Capital with respect to Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC") and
Terex Cranes Division ("TC") means 20% of the average Cash Investment by the
Company in each of CMHC and TC, respectively, determined on a quarterly basis.
Cash Investment is calculated, at the end of each quarter, pursuant to the
following formula:

                       Cash Investment  =    Purchase Price
                                         +   Intercompany Account
                                         +   quarterly Interest Allocation
                                             ---------------------------
                                             Cash Investment
                                             ===========================

Interest Allocation for each quarter equals the prior Cash Investment
multiplied by the Company's average interest cost for the preceding quarter.

Intercompany Account means all cash flows between CMHC or TC, respectively, and
the Company, including intercompany charges for an allocation of corporate
costs, except for the initial purchase price. Intercompany Accounts reflect
Terex Corporate's MicroControl financial reporting system.

All of the above without duplication.

Example:

(The following numbers are used for illustration purposes only and do not
represent acutal numbers)

Assumptions:   Average cash invested over term of ownership = $100,000,000
               Term of ownership = 3.5 years through third quarter 1995
               Average invested capital = 20% of $100,000,000 = $20,000,000
               Minimum return on invested capital = 20%
               Minimum cumulative return
                 on invested capital = $20,000,000 x .2 x 3.5 = $14,000,000
               Ending cash invested = $126,000,000

Minimum proceeds from disposition equals:

                       Ending Cash Invested      $126,000,000
   Plus: Minimum Return on Invested Capital        14,000,000
                                                 ------------
                           Minimum Proceeds      $140,000,000

This Note is subject to the following further terms and conditions:

     Section 1.  Mandatory Prepayment Upon Breach of Agreement. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall become due and
payable on the sixtieth day after the breach by the Retiring Chairman in any
material respect of any of the provisions of the Agreement.

     Section 2.  Effect of Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, upon the Retiring Chairman's death or Disability
(as defined in the Agreement), subject to the continued compliance with the
provisions of Section 7 of the Agreement by the Retiring Chairman or, if
applicable, his estate or beneficiary, as the case may be, the Company shall

terms of such paragraph.  

     Section 3.  Events of Default.  Upon the occurrence of any of the
following events ("Events of Default"):

          (a)    Failure to pay any principal of this Note when due that shall
remain unremedied for ten days following the receipt by the Retiring Chairman
of written notice from the Company;

          (b)    Failure to pay any interest installment due under this Note

and all other demands and notices of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived.   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the accrued and
unpaid interest hereunder shall thereafter bear the same rate of interest as on

hereunder, the Retiring Chairman shall pay costs of collection, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the holder in the enforcement hereof.

No delay or failure by the holder of this Note in the exercise of any right or
remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
the holder hereof of any right or remedy shall preclude other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 

     Section 4.  Miscellaneous.

          (a)    The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
