                        Report of Independent Accountants




To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Terex Corporation and Affiliates'
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for Represented Employees


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statement  of  changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of the Terex  Corporation and  Affiliates'  401(k)  Retirement  Savings Plan for
Represented  Employees  (the  "Plan") at  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  and the
changes in net assets  available  for benefits  for the year ended  December 31,
1996,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These
financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management;  our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in the financial  statements,
assessing the accounting  principles used and significant  estimates made by the
Plan's management,  and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The additional  information  included in
the supplemental  schedules  listed in the  accompanying  index is presented for
purposes  of  additional  analysis  and  is not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial  statements  but is  additional  information  required by ERISA.  Such
information has been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion,  is fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         General - The  Terex  Corporation  and  Affiliates'  401(k)  Retirement
         Savings Plan for Represented  Employees (the "Plan") was established on
         January 1, 1987. The Plan is a contributory,  defined contribution plan
         that covers certain  eligible  employees of Terex  Corporation  and its
         subsidiaries  ("Terex" or the "Company")  meeting  minimum  eligibility
         requirements,  and  is  designed  to  provide  a  savings  vehicle  for
         employees. Certain officers of Terex serve as trustees of the Plan (the
         "Trustees").  The  investments  of the Plan  are held by  Massachusetts
         Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass Mutual").

         The Plan is  subject  to the  provisions  of the  Employee  Retirement
         Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

         An  Administrative  Committee,  consisting  of at least  three  members
         appointed by the Company's Board of Directors,  administers the benefit
         structure of the Plan. The Company is considered the Plan Administrator
         for purposes of ERISA.

         Terms for each  subsidiary  location  are  negotiated  under  separate
         collective   bargaining   agreements   and  differ  with   respect  to
         participant   contributions,   employer  contributions  and  loans  to
         participants.  The general  provisions for each location are discussed
         below.

         Participants - Hourly-rate employees are eligible to participate on the
         date that they complete six months of service.

         Participant  Contributions  - Participants  may contribute up to 20% of
         their compensation.  The maximum pre-tax  contribution  permitted under
         Internal Revenue Service regulations in 1996 was $9,500.

         Employer  Contributions - The plan in effect at the Terex  Distribution
         Center provides for an employer contribution. For this plan the Company
         will match 50% of the employee's contribution, up to a maximum of 3% of
         the employee's salary. The contribution  matched by Terex for this plan
         is made in Terex  Common  Stock.  Prior to  January  1,  1996 this plan
         provided for an employer match of the employee's contribution,  up to a
         maximum of 2% of the employee's salary. This matching  contribution was
         made in cash and was invested in the Plan as directed by the employee.

         Vesting   -   Participants   are  fully   vested  in  their   voluntary
         contributions  plus actual  earnings  thereon.  Participants  are fully
         vested in their  total  accounts  upon their  normal  retirement  date.
         Normal  retirement  age is 65 for all  employees.  Prior to the  normal
         retirement date,  participants vest in the employer  contribution after
         one year of eligible service.

         Forfeitures - Nonvested employer  contributions of terminated employees
         become forfeitures and are held in a separate account and, after a five
         year  break  in  service,  shall  be used  to  reduce  future  employer
         contributions.

         Allocation  of Earnings - Each  participant's  account is credited with
         the participant's  contributions and an allocation of earnings from the
         respective investment funds. A participant's  contributions are used to
         purchase shares in the various  investment  funds. The value of and the
         earnings  credited  to  a  participant's   account  are  based  on  the
         proportionate  number of shares owned by the  participant  and the fair
         value of the  investment on the  valuation  date, as determined by Mass
         Mutual.




<PAGE>

         Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement, disability, or death, the entire
         balance of the participant's account becomes payable to the participant
         or designated  beneficiary.  Upon any other  termination of employment,
         the  participant  receives  the  vested  portion  of  his/her  account;
         however, if the vested portion of participant's  accout is greater than
         $3,500  he/she  can  elect to keep  his/her  investments  in the  Plan.
         Withdrawals   are  also  permitted  for  financial   hardship  or  upon
         attainment  of age 59-1/2 under  certain  provisions  of the Plan.  All
         benefits are paid in a lump sum.

         Participant  Loans - Participants at certain locations may obtain loans
         in an  amount  equal to the  lesser  of  $50,000  or 50% of the  vested
         portion of their account balance, subject to the discretion of the Plan
         Administrator  and certain other  restrictions.  Terms of all loans are
         established by the Plan Administrator.

         The above brief  description  of the Plan is intended to give a general
         summary of the principal  provisions of the Plan.  Further  information
         about the Plan is contained in the Terex  Corporation  and  Affiliates'
         401(k) Retirement  Savings Plan for Represented  Employees Summary Plan
         Description. This booklet is available from the Company.


2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Accounting - The accompanying  financial  statements have been
         prepared on the accrual  basis.  The Form 5500  reports  filed with the
         Department  of Labor  have been  prepared  on a cash  basis and  record
         Company and employee contributions when received.

         Investments  - Plan  investments  are  stated  at fair  value  based on
         published  market  prices  or  other  independent  sources.   Loans  to
         participants  are valued at cost which  approximates  fair  value.  Net
         appreciation  (depreciation)  in aggregate fair value of investments is
         comprised of all realized and  unrealized  gains and losses  during the
         year.

         Expenses - Fees and  expenses  related to  administering  the Plan are
         generally paid by Terex.

         Withdrawals - Withdrawals  are recognized at the time of  distribution
         to the participant.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in
         conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
         management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets
         and  liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has notified the Plan  Administrator
         that the  Plan  qualified  under  Sections  401(a)  and  401(k)  of the
         Internal   Revenue   Code  (IRC)  at  the  date  of   application   for
         determination  and is,  therefore,  not  subject  to tax under  present
         income tax law.  Once  qualified,  the Plan is  required  to operate in
         conformity  with the IRC to maintain its tax exempt  status.  It is the
         opinion  of the  Plan  Administrator  that  the  Plan  continues  to be
         qualified and exempt from tax under  Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the
         IRC.

5.       TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Company believes that the Plan will continue  without  interruption
         but reserves the right to discontinue  the Plan. In the event that such
         discontinuance  results in the complete or partial  termination  of the
         Plan, the balance in each participant's  account will be distributed by
         the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.
