                        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,  1998 and 1997,  and the
changes in net assets  available  for benefits  for the year ended  December 31,
1998,  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
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  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  These  supplemental
schedules are the  responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  The  supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES

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 defined  contribution  plan that covers
         certain  eligible  employees of Terex  Corporation and its subsidiaries
         ("Terex" or the "Company")  meeting minimum  eligibility  requirements.
         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").

         Effective  January 1, 1998, the  hourly-rate  employees  at PPM Cranes,
         Inc. ("PPM") began  participation in the Plan and on July 14, 1998, the
         related  assets were transferred to the Plan from the Terex Corporation
         and  Affiliates'  401(k)  Retirement  Savings Plan under the terms of a
         negotiated collective bargaining agreement.

         In addition  to the PPM employees,  participants  of the Plan  are the
         hourly-rate employees of the Company's Unit Rig  division ("Unit Rig"),
         the Terex  Parts  Distribution  Center  ("Southaven"),  and  the former
         Bowerston  Division of Simon  Access  ("Bowerston"),  which  was closed
         subsequent  to the  acquisition  of  the  business  on April  7,  1997.
         Investments  of  the  former  Bowerston  employees  remain in the Plan,
         however,  there are  no additional  employee or employer  contributions
         being made.  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.

         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.

         Participant   Eligibility-  Employees  at  Unit  Rig  are  eligible  to
         participate  in the Plan after  they  complete  six months of  service,
         employees at Southaven and PPM are eligible to participate  after three
         months of service.

         Participant  Contributions - Participants at Unit Rig may contribute up
         to 20% of their  compensation,  participants  at Southaven  and PPM may
         contribute up to 16% of their compensation. Contributions may be in any
         combination  of  pre  or  post-tax   earnings.   The  maximum   pre-tax
         contribution  permitted under Internal  Revenue Service  regulations in
         1998  was  $10,000.  There  is no  limit  to  post-tax  contributions.
         Participants are able to direct current  contributions and redistribute
         accumulated contributions and earnings between investment funds.

         Employer  Contributions  -  The  plan  in  effect  at Unit Rig does not
         provide for Terex  to match any  portion of employee  contributions  to
         the  Plan. The  plan in effect at Southaven  provides  that Terex  will
         match 50% of the first 6% of the employees  salary that  is contributed
         to the plan.  The plan  in effect at PPM provides that Terex will match
         50% of the first 5% of the employees salary that is contributed to  the
         plan. The terms  of each  division's  collective  bargaining  agreement
         provide   that  the  Company  may  make,   in  its  sole   discretion,
         supplementary  contributions.  All Company  contributions  are  made in
         Terex Common Stock.

         Vesting  - All  participants  are  immediately  fully  vested  in their
         voluntary contributions plus any actual earnings thereon.  Participants
         at Southaven and PPM vest in the employer matching  contributions after
         one year of eligible  service.  Participants  employed at  Bowerston on
         April 7, 1997 are fully  vested in  employer  contributions.  Bowerston
         participants  hired after April 7, 1997 but prior to the closure of the
         facility  vest in  employer  contributions  after one year of  eligible
         service.   The  vesting  period  for   supplemental   contributions  is
         determined by the Company at the time of contribution.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Forfeitures - Nonvested  employer  contributions of employees that have
         separated  from  the  Company  become  forfeitures  and  are  held in a
         separate   account  and  shall  be  used  to  reduce  future   employer
         contributions.  However,  employees  that return to service within five
         years from their  separation date will be entitled to continue  vesting
         on the employer contributions which were previously forfeited.

         Allocation  of Earnings - Each  participant's  account is credited with
         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.

         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 the participant's  account is greater
         than  $5,000  he/she  can  elect to keep the  investments  in the Plan.
         Withdrawals  are also permitted for financial  hardship,  as defined by
         the Plan, or upon attainment of age 59-1/2.

         Participant  Loans -  Participants  may obtain loans in an amount up 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.

         Investments  - Plan  investments  are  stated  at fair  value  based on
         published market prices or  other independent sources. 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  (the  "IRS")  has  notified  the  Plan
         Administrator  by a letter dated July 31, 1996 that the Plan  qualified
         under  Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code (the
         "IRC") 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 Trustees.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July  31,  1998,  the   Company  completed  the  acquisition  of The
         American  Crane  Corporation  ("American  Crane").  The  American Crane
         employees  covered by  a  negotiated  collective  bargaining  agreement
         became eligible for  participation in the Plan during February 1999 and
         on March 3, 1999, assets vaued  at $1,517,685 were transferred into the
         Plan from The American Crane Corporation Savings  and Investment 401(k)
         Plan.
