               (l)  Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

                         3.1  Interest.  Interest on Advances shall be
                    payable to Agent for the benefit of Lenders in
                    arrears on the first day of each month with respect
                    to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to
                    Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest
                    Period or, for Eurodollar Rate Loans with an
                    Interest Period in excess of three months, at the
                    earlier of (a) each three months on the anniversary
                    date of the commencement of such Eurodollar Rate
                    Loan or (b) the end of the Interest Period.
                    Interest shall be calculated based upon the
                    assumption that Revolving Advances and Swingline
                    Loans are first advanced against the Supplemental
                    Amount.  Interest charges shall be computed on the
                    actual principal amount of Advances (other than
                    Letters of Credit) outstanding during the month at
                    a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to
                    Revolving Advances, the applicable Revolving
                    Interest Rate, and (ii) with respect to the
                    Incremental Term Loan, the Incremental Term Loan
                    Rate (as applicable, the "Contract Rate").
                    Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement,
                    the Base Rate is increased or decreased, the
                    applicable Contract Rate shall be similarly changed
                    without notice or demand of any kind by an amount
                    equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate
                    during the time such change or changes remain in
                    effect.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event
                    of Default, and during the continuation thereof,
                    Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders
                    shall, increase the interest rate so that the
                    Obligations shall then bear interest at the
                    applicable Contract Rate plus two (2%) percent per
                    annum the "Default Rate").

               (m)  Section 3.5 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting "Revolving Interest Rate" and inserting "Contract Rate" in its
place and stead.

               (n)  Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended
by inserting after "subordination arrangement" and before "in favor of" the
phrase "(including the Deferral Agreement)".

               (o)  Section 6.8(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby

               payable to Lenders who have Commitments to fund Revolving

Exhibit A


             AMENDED AND RESTATED INTEREST PAYMENT DEFERRAL

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED INTEREST PAYMENT DEFERRAL (this "Amended and
Restated Deferral") is entered into as of November 13, 2003 by and between
Bucyrus International, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), Bucyrus
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Holdings"), and BNY
Midwest Trust Company, an Illinois trust company, as successor to Harris
Trust and Savings Bank, (the "Trustee").  Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the respective meanings given them in the
Indenture, dated as of September 24, 1997, among the Company, the Guarantors
party thereto and the Trustee (the "Indenture") governing the 9-3/4% Senior
Notes due 2007 issued by the Company (the "Notes").

     WHEREAS, Holdings is a holder of Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately $75 million (the "Holdings Notes"); and

     WHEREAS, it is a condition to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 to
the Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement Amendment"), dated as
of November 13, 2003, among the Company, the other Loan Parties thereto, the
financial institutions party thereto, and GMAC Commercial Finance LLC
(successor-in-interest to GMAC Business Credit, LLC) that Holdings agree to
defer interest payments on, and to not transfer, other than as expressly
permitted hereunder, the Holdings Notes as provided herein; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Holdings will each benefit from the Loan
Agreement Amendment becoming effective; and

     WHEREAS, Holdings desires, except as expressly permitted hereunder, to
defer the payment of interest on the Holdings Notes by the Company, and to
agree not to transfer the Holdings Notes, all on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Interest Payment Deferral.  In accordance with Section 6.7 of the
Indenture, Holdings hereby agrees to defer, and consents to the deferral of,
the payment of interest (other than interest occurring prior to July 1, 2000)
by the Company on the Holdings Notes to Holdings (as a Holder) during the
period beginning on July 1, 2000 and ending on the later to occur of (a) the
date (the "Payoff Date") on which all of the Obligations (as defined in the
Loan Agreement) are paid in full, the Commitments (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) have expired and all Letters of Credit (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) have terminated or expire, or (b) March 15, 2005 (the "Deferral
Period")' provided, however, that interest on the Holdings Notes shall
continue to accrue during the Deferral Period, and provided, further, that
the Deferral Period shall end prior to March 15, 2005 at Holdings' option,
which option may be exercised only after the Payoff Date.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may pay regularly scheduled payments of interest
on the Holdings Notes to Holdings commencing March, 2004, provided, however,
if at any time or from time to time the Company has received written
notification from GMAC Commercial Finance LLC ("Agent") of the occurrence of
an "Event of Default" under the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March
7, 2002 among Company, Holdings, the other borrowers and guarantors thereto,
and Agent and the other lenders thereto (the "Loan Agreement"), then payment
of interest is to be deferred until Agent delivers written confirmation of
the cure or waiver of the applicable Event of Default.

2.   Forbearance.  Each of Holdings and the Trustee hereby agrees that it
shall refrain from taking any action against the Company under the Indenture
in connection with the deferral of payment of interest on the Holdings Notes
during the Deferral Period.

3.   Transfer of Holdings Notes.  Holdings may sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any interest in the Holdings Notes during the Deferral
Period, provided, however, if at any time or from time to time Holdings has
received written notice from Agent that an Event of Default has occurred
under the Loan Agreement, then no further sales, assignments, transfers or
other dispositions may be made by Holdings until Agent delivers written
confirmation of the cure or waiver of the applicable Event of Default;
provided, further, Holdings shall maintain the proceeds from such sales,
assignments, transfers or other dispositions in a bank account which is the
subject of a blocked account arrangement in form and substance satisfactory
to Agent, all as required by the Loan Agreement Amendment.

4.   Amendment.  This Deferral may not be amended without the prior written
consent of each of the parties hereto.

5.   Governing Law.  This Deferral shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to
applicable principles of conflict of laws to the extent that the application
of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

6.   Counterparts.  This Deferral may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if
the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

7.   Severability.  In case any provision in this Deferral shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.   Assignment.  All agreements of the Trustee, Holdings and the Company
hereto shall bind each of their respective successors and assigns, whether
so expressed or not.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Deferral
to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
