Item 4.        Description of Securities.

               Not applicable.

Item 5.        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

               Not applicable.

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

               Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and
Article IX of the Company's By-Laws provide for the indemnification of the
Company's directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may
include liabilities under the Securities Act.

               Article IX of the Company's By-Laws generally requires the
Company to indemnify its directors and officers against all liabilities
(including judgments, settlements, fines and penalties) and reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of
any type of action, whether instituted by a third party or a stockholder
(either directly or derivatively) and including specifically, but without
limitation, actions brought under the Securities Act, and/or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); provided that no such
indemnification will be allowed if such director or officer was not successful
in defending against any such action and it is determined that the director or
officer engaged in misconduct which constitutes (i) a breach of his or her
"duty of loyalty" (as further defined therein) to the Company or its
stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in "good faith" (as further defined
therein) or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law; (iii) the payment of an illegal dividend or the authorization of an
unlawful stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL
law; or (iv) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an
improper direct personal financial profit.

               The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains
a provision which eliminates the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its stockholders for certain breaches of his fiduciary duty of care
as a director.  This provision does not, however, eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's "duty of
loyalty" (as defined therein) to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in "good faith" (as defined therein) or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section
174 of the DGCL, relating in general to the willful or negligent payment of an
illegal dividend or the authorization of an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal profit.  This provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
offers each director protection against awards of monetary damages resulting
from negligent (except as indicated above) and "grossly" negligent actions
taken in the performance of his duty of care, including grossly negligent
business decisions made in connection with takeover proposals for the Company. 
As a result of this provision, the ability of the Company or a stockholder
thereof to successfully prosecute an action against a director for a breach of
his duty of care has been limited.  However, the provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based
upon a director's breach of his duty of care.  The Commission has taken the
position that the provision will have no effect on claims arising under the
Federal securities laws.

               The Company maintains a directors' and officers' insurance
policy which insures the officers and directors of the Company from any claim
arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such persons in their respective
capacities as officers and directors of the Company.

Item 7.        Exemption from Registration Claimed.

               Not Applicable.

Item 9.        Undertakings.

     1    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          a.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

               (1)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                    the Securities Act;

               (2)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                    after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
                    the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which,
                    individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                    change in the information set forth in this Registration
                    Statement; and

               (3)  To include any material information with respect to the 
                    plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                    Registration Statement or any material change to such
                    information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) will not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.

          b.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          c.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     2.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     3.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Applicant:


We have made a favorable determination on your plan, identified above, based on
the information supplied.  Please keep this letter in your permanent records.

Continued qualification of the plan under its present form will depend on its
effect in operation.  (See section 1.401-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax
Regulations.)  We will review the status of the plan in operation periodically.

The enclosed document explains the significance of this favorable determination
letter, points out some features that may affect the qualified status of your
employee retirement plan, and provides information on the resulting
requirements for your plan.  It also describes some events that automatically
nullify it.  It is very important that you read the publication.

This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal Revenue
Code.  It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or local
statutes.

This determination letter is applicable for the amendment(s) adopted on
December 30, 1994.

This plan has been mandatorily disaggregated, permissively aggregated, or
restructured to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements.

This plan satisfies the nondiscrimination in amount requirement of section
1.401(a)(4)-1(b)(2) of the regulations on the basis of a design-based safe
harbor described in the regulations.

This letter is issued under Rev. Proc. 93-39 and considers the amendments
required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 except as otherwise specified in this
letter.

The plan satisfies the nondiscriminatory current availability requirements of
section 1.401(a)(4)-4(b) of the regulations with respect to those benefits,
rights, and features that are currently available to all employees in the
plan's coverage group.  For this purpose, the plan's coverage group consists of
those employees treated as currently benefiting for purposes of demonstrating
that the plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of section 410(b) of
the Code.

This letter may not be relied upon with respect to whether the plan satisfies
the qualification requirements as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act,
Pub. L. 103-465.

We have sent a copy of this letter to your representative as indicated in the
power of attorney.

If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact the person whose
name and telephone number are shown above.


                                        Sincerely yours,

 Terex Corporation 
 500 Post Road East
 Westport, Connecticut 06880
     
     
 Ladies and Gentlemen:
     
    We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed by Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), on or about the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of (i) an
indeterminate amount of interests in the Terex Corporation and Affiliates
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, as amended (the "Plan") and (ii) up to an
additional 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), which may be issued pursuant to the terms of the
Terex Corporation and Affiliates 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, as amended
(the "Plan").

    We are familiar with the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the
By-laws of the Company and have examined copies of the Plan, the resolutions
adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and actions by the Company's
stockholders pertaining to the Plan, and originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, evidence of
corporate action, certificates and other instruments, and have made such other
investigations of law and fact, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for
the purposes of this opinion.
     
    Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
     
    1.   the interest in the Plan if issued pursuant to the provisions thereof
will be legally issued; and 
     
    2.   the up to 400,000 additional shares of Common Stock which may be
issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Plan have been duly
authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

    We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
     
     
                                       Very truly yours,



                                       Robinson, Silverman, Pearce,
                                       Aronsohn & Berman
     


			AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE
				TO THE
		TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES'
		401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN


WHEREAS, the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Savings
Plan (the "Plan") was amended and restated effective April 1, 1995; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended, effective January 1, 1996, 
as follows:

	1.	The definition of Valuation Date set forth in Article 2 
	of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and the following 
	substituted therefor:

		"Valuation Date" for Investment Funds offered by the 
		Insurance Company shall mean each business day of the 
		Insurance Company during the Plan Year.  For Investment 
		Funds not offered by the Insurance Company, Valuation Date 
		shall mean such times during the Plan Year as designated 
		by the Administrative Committee.

	2.	Section 6.05 of the Plan is amended by adding the following 
	as the last paragraph:

		The Administrative Committee shall have the authority to 
		offer an Investment Fund which may invest up to one hundred 
		percent (100%) of the fair market value of its assets in 
		"qualifying employer securities" as that term is defined 
		in ERISA.

	3.	Section 5.02 of Appendix I of the Plan is deleted in its 
	entirety and the following substituted therefor:

		Section 5.02.  Matching Contributions.  Pursuant to 
		Section 5.02 of the Plan, this Appendix specifies that, 
		with respect to Elective Contributions and Voluntary 
		Contributions that are made for any pay period beginning 
		on or after January 1, 1996, the Company shall contribute 
		Basic Matching Contributions to the Trust, for the benefit 
		of each Participant covered by this Appendix, in an amount 
		equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of Elective 
		Contributions and Voluntary Contributions for any Plan 
		Year provided, however, that:  (I) such Participant has 
		elected to make Elective Contributions and/or Voluntary 
		Contributions for any Plan Year equal to at least one 
		percent (1%) of his Compensation; and (ii) the Basic 
		Matching Contributions which the Company makes on behalf 
		of any such Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed 
		three percent (3%) of his Compensation for such Plan Year.

		Any Basic Matching Contributions which the Company makes 
		for any Plan Year on behalf of a Participant covered by 
		this Appendix shall be contributed to the Trust and 
		credited to the Participant's Basic Matching Contribution 
		Account and invested in such Investment Funds as designated 
		by the Administrative Committee.

		In addition, pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Plan, this 
		Appendix further specifies that if the Company determines 
		that Supplemental Matching Contributions shall be made on 
		behalf of certain Participants covered by this Appendix, 
		then the President of the Company shall have the authority 
		to amend this Appendix to specify the Participants eligible 
		to receive Supplemental Matching Contributions, the rate(s) 
		of such Contributions, and any limitations on the total 
		amount of such Contributions.

	4.	Section 5.02 of Appendix II of the Plan is deleted in its 
	entirety and the following substituted therefor:

		Section 5.02.  Matching Contributions.  Pursuant to 
		Section 5.02 of the Plan, this Appendix specifies that, 
		with respect to Elective Contributions and Voluntary 
		Contributions that are made for any pay period beginning 
		on or after January 1, 1996, CHMC shall contribute Basic 
		Matching Contributions to the Trust, for the benefit of 
		each Participant covered by this Appendix, in an amount 
		equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of Elective 
		Contributions and Voluntary Contributions for any Plan 
		Year provided, however, that:  (I) such Participant has 
		elected to make Elective Contributions and/or Voluntary 
		Contributions for any Plan Year equal to at least one 
		percent (1%) of his Compensation; and (ii) the Basic 
		Matching Contributions which CHMC makes on behalf of 
		any such Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed 
		three percent (3%) of his Compensation for such Plan Year.

		Any Basic Matching Contributions which CHMC makes for any 
		Plan Year on behalf of a Participant covered by this 
		Appendix shall be contributed to the Trust and credited to 
		the Participant's Basic Matching Contribution Account.

		In addition, pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Plan, this 
		Appendix further specifies that if CHMC determines that 
		Supplemental Matching Contributions shall be made on behalf 
		of certain Participants covered by this Appendix, then the 
		President of Terex Corporation shall have the authority to 
		amend this Appendix to specify the Participants eligible to 
		receive Supplemental Matching Contributions, the rate(s) of 
		such Contributions, and any limitations on the total amount 
		of such Contributions.

		Matching Contributions made under this Section 5.02 may 
		be made in cash or in "qualifying employer securities" as 
		that term is defined in ERISA.

	5.	Section 9.01 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and the 
	following substituted therefor:

		Fund which invest in common stock of Terex Corporation may 
		elect to receive an in-kind distribution from such Fund.

	6.	Section 10.05 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and 
	the following substituted therefor:

		A withdrawal paid pursuant to this Article will first be
