LETTER TO SHAREOWNERS

     At Navistar, we've set our sights on a singular vision: to be the
best truck and engine company in North America. This is a bold dream. To
achieve it, we know we must change. Business as usual won't get us there.

     Being the best means creating real value for our shareowners. It
means leading our industry in customer satisfaction. And, it means
creating a climate for performance which challenges and motivates our
employees.

     In 1996, we took significant steps to drive fundamental change
throughout Navistar.

   - We strengthened the blend of executive management with the addition
     of Don DeFosset as executive vice president and president, Truck
     Group, and Bud Thompson, senior vice president, Employee Relations
     & Administration.

   - We also continued to change the make-up of our Board of Directors.
     In 1996, we added three new directors who lead preeminent companies:
     Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc., The Coleman Company, Inc. and The
     Geon Company.

   - We underwent an exhaustive review of our truck business, forged a
     five-point strategy to drive improved performance, and began
     rapidly implementing these strategies.

   - In our engine division, we reinforced our technological leadership
     by becoming the first in our industry to demonstrate our capability
     to meet proposed 2004 emissions standards.

   - And, we launched a companywide initiative to create a high
     performance company culture. This has been an effort led from the
     top down and created from the bottom up. 

     While these actions position us to achieve our vision, our financial
performance, which is reflected in our stock price, remains disappointing.
This, too, must change.

     Two events in 1996 are particularly noteworthy in demonstrating our
resolve to change and our departure from business as usual.

     First, for the last several years we have been working hard to
develop a next generation of world-class medium trucks. In June, we were
at the stage of the program where investment would escalate dramatically.
Unfortunately, we were unable to reach agreement with the United Auto
Workers on several issues critical to building the trucks profitably. So
we terminated the program. This required a $35 million pretax charge to
earnings and greatly disappointed our employees. Some called it a bold
decision; it had to be made. We could not invest millions of dollars in an
effort that would not deliver the kinds of operating returns that result
in increased shareowner value.

     Second, we successfully negotiated a new contract in partnership with
the Canadian Auto Workers. Under this agreement, our Chatham, Ontario
assembly plant and the company overall is on the right track to becoming
more competitive. The flexible work rules, reduced job classifications,
and team assembly approach pave the way for large increases in
productivity and quality.

     During the year, we also made progress on other initiatives. For
example, our new Diamond SPEC modular truck offering, which greatly
reduces product complexity, has been well received in the marketplace.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 4>

     We began to focus our truck manufacturing to reduce complexity in our
plants. We are simplifying our assembly operations"from the models
produced to the systems and processes involved. During the year, stripped
chassis production was moved from our Springfield, Ohio assembly plant to
our American Transportation Corporation (AmTran) subsidiary in Conway,
Arkansas.  Plans are underway to move our severe service trucks from our
Chatham facility to a new joint venture in Texas early in 1997. Our
objective is to focus these plants to achieve that 15% ROA target for our
truck business.

     We aggressively expanded our presence in Mexico to take advantage of
anticipated growth in that and other Latin American markets. Navistar now
has 24 dealer locations in Mexico. During the year, we ramped up
production at a contract manufacturing assembly operation to fill the
near-term needs of these dealers, and we launched plans to build our own
facility in Mexico with a capital appropriation of $167 million. This
operation will meet our 15% ROA objective.

     We moved forward with new product programs in our premium
conventional truck line which include upgrades that appeal to customers
and that allow for platform and process improvements to improve
profitability.

     In our engine division, we continued to develop new technologies and
adopt electronics to improve our diesel engines' air and fuel management,
to reduce emissions, to improve fuel economy and to deliver more power,
torque and product performance features.

     And our finance subsidiary, Navistar Financial Corporation, exceeded
their 15% ROA goal for the third year in a row. They also increased their
retail market share to almost 26% in the heavy truck category, and 14% in
medium truck. Yet, while Navistar Financial continues to see strong
performance, in reality, the continued growth of  Navistar Financial
depends on our core truck business"in particular Class 8 trucks. These
businesses will continue to work closely together to grow and build long-
term viability.

     We also are encouraged by our efforts to create alliances with our
supply base and by the long-term agreements we have forged with proven
manufacturers of component parts.

     But at the end of the day, while we have many achievements to report,
our financial performance must improve. The challenges we face are
significant as pricing continues to create pressure, as we face a downturn
in demand, and as competition intensifies. We have, however, a gameplan to
address these challenges with the strategies we have in place. Combined
with management's resolve and the talent and energy of our employees, we
will achieve our dream. We will be the best truck and engine company in
North America.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

     We established two criteria as the foundation of our strategies to
deliver acceptable returns to shareowners. Operating management must drive
a 15% return on the assets (ROA) they manage, which will lead to corporate
performance of 17.5% return on equity (ROE).

     These are tough targets. They demand change and require us to
stretch. But we can no longer afford to conduct business as usual. In
1996, we reported net income of $65 million, reflecting lower truck sales
and a one-time $35 million pretax charge when we terminated development of
our next generation truck (NGT). At the same time, our manufacturing gross
margin declined to 12.5% of sales in 1996, compared to 13.8% in 1995 and
12.8% in 1994. At the end of the year, we did not achieve our ROA and ROE
objectives.

     To address our shareowners' requirements, we spent a great deal of
time in 1996 developing strategies that will enable the company to achieve
these objectives, and now it's time to deliver progress against those
metrics. Only those initiatives and programs that demonstrate a potential
for adequate returns will be funded in the future. Those that do not will
be reworked, or they will not be funded.

     This year, our plan to build our next generation truck  was
contingent on reaching an agreement with the United Auto Workers on issues
critical to producing the trucks and meeting the 15% ROA target for the
truck business. When an agreement could not be reached, we terminated the
program instead of investing in a program that would not deliver the
targeted returns. While the initiative to produce NGT in Springfield was
the preferred option, we're continuing to pursue new product development
including working with the UAW to find ways to become more cost
competitive.

     Our plan to establish operations in Mexico, on the other hand, can
generate a 15% ROA and will provide opportunities for significant revenue
growth. That's why we invested $17 million in developing our capabilities
in Mexico during 1996 and received board approval for an additional $167
million to construct a 700,000 square-foot facility in Escobedo, Mexico.
We expect to be in production by 1998"well positioned and with enough
capacity to meet demand as the Mexican economy recovers, and for export to
other Latin American markets.  When we negotiated a new contract with the
Canadian Auto Workers at our Chatham, Ontario assembly plant, the
agreement also was based on achieving the 15% ROA target for the truck
business. With work-rule changes that improve productivity and
manufacturing flexibility, Chatham's ROA will improve by seven percentage
points, bringing the truck business closer to its 15% goal.

     Recognizing the need to focus our capital investments on our core
truck and engine businesses, we elected to sell our Columbus Plastics
Operation, which manufactures plastic components for Navistar and other
original equipment manufacturers.

     In line with our ROA and ROE metrics, we conducted an intensive
education program in shareowner value for all of our managers throughout
the Navistar organization. Our managers now are equipped with practical
formulas for use in evaluating proposed programs and projects to ensure
they meet our financial targets.

     Navistar now is better positioned"with metrics and strategies firmly
established"to achieve strong financial performance. Now, it's time to
deliver.

     Navistar unveiled a five-point truck strategy in 1996 that addresses
an increasingly tough competitive environment in North America and our
need to alter our cost structure to deliver strong financial performance
across the business cycle. The strategy comprises a series of initiatives
to improve quality, productivity and product development, and to drive
profitable growth. These initiatives are supported by our financial
services operations and a superior distribution system"a 1,000-location
strong dealer franchise organization in the United States, Canada and
Mexico; a comprehensive service parts network; and an expanding used truck
organization.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 6>

     While the performance of the truck group was not acceptable, there
were a number of achievements that will drive improved financial
performance.

     One initiative within the truck strategy"reducing product
complexity"resulted in a combination of manufacturing efficiencies and
customer benefits. In 1996, we introduced upgrades of our International
and Eagle 9200 and 9400 model premium conventional trucks featuring common
chassis and standardized componentry. These enhancements reduce complexity
in manufacturing to create efficiencies and improve quality. For
customers, significant improvements in design, styling and features were
implemented to enhance driver comfort and performance. We also introduced
our Diamond SPEC truck ordering process and our Diamond PLUS support
package at the American Trucking Association annual meeting. 

     We took steps to reduce complexity in our manufacturing operations,
within the framework of our union contracts, to focus our assembly plants
on efficiently producing trucks and meeting marketplace demand. We began
the transfer of stripped chassis from our Springfield, Ohio plant to our
AmTran facility in Conway, Arkansas. Production of the International 8200
heavy truck will cease in 1997, furthering Springfield's transition to a
medium-duty only facility. We also created a joint venture to focus
production of the highly complex Paystar severe service trucks. This helps
our Chatham, Ontario plant focus on building the International and Eagle
9000 models.

     In new product development, we introduced the International 9100
conventional truck"built on the same platform as other 9000 series
models"to deliver a combination of benefits to local and regional
transportation companies. These include an improved driver environment,
the effective Diamond Spec and Diamond Plus systems, and a higher residual
value than comparable vehicles. Longer term, our new family of premium
conventional trucks, targeted for production in 1998, will enable us to
provide improved performance and enhancements.

     We also were active in bringing new bus models to market, including
the International 3400 shuttle and the rear engine transit bus.

     Over the past year, we moved aggressively to expand our presence in
Mexico, which represents an opportunity for growth as we meet customers'
needs there and in other Latin American markets. Our investment there will
allow us to meet future demand as the Mexican economy recovers, and,
within a few years, to reach out to new customers in Latin America.

     Finally, we continue to address issues to improve productivity. Most
significant in 1996 was the agreement reached with the Canadian Auto
Workers. Under the terms of the current three-year contract, significant
productivity gains are possible through changes in job classifications,
work rules and training.

     In all of our initiatives, we continue to focus on offering more to
our customers through our superior distribution system. The performance of
our school buses, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks drove us to the top of
the industry in dealer satisfaction, as Navistar was rated tops in the
American Truck Dealers "Dealer Attitude Survey" for two years running.
Through our new Customer Satisfaction Process, introduced in 1996, our
entire dealer network is focused on delivering measurable, continuous
improvements.

     In our parts operation, we continue to be the truck industry
benchmark for total parts support. We target those customers who can
benefit from one-stop shopping for all their needs, bumper-to-bumper. We
also introduced Fleet Charge Gold to offer customers opportunities to
improve the ways they manage costs. In another effort, we've invested in
business systems to improve the processing of customer orders, speed
delivery of parts and link electronically with both customers and
suppliers.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 7>

     Through innovative financing offered by Navistar Financial
Corporation, we're arming our dealers with attractive and flexible
financing choices for our customers. As we drive performance through our
initiatives, we will not lose sight of the needs of our customers and
dealers.

     As a worldwide leader in mid-range diesel engines, we have a formula
for performance, combining innovative technologies with our desire to be
the low-cost producer. Evidence of our leadership was illustrated by our
achievements in shipping mid-range diesel engines to other original
equipment manufacturers. In 1996, we shipped a record 163,200 units, which
is a 6% increase from the previous year and a 25% improvement over 1994.
In addition, we exceeded the 15% ROA target in 1996, but our challenge is
to deliver these returns throughout the business cycle.

     To strengthen our leadership position and deliver a 15% ROA, we must
stay in high gear, making continued gains in productivity, reducing costs,
managing our inventories and assets, and delivering quality improvements
across our entire product line. We've made significant strides in all of
these areas, including a reduction in total man-hours per engine of more
than 30% over the last two years.

     Over the past five years, the market response to our 7.3DI eight-
cylinder engine has been extremely favorable. Since 1991, Ford, our
largest OEM customer, has doubled orders for these engines for use in its
full-size commercial pickup trucks. Our success with Ford, combined with
sales to other OEM customers and off-highway applications, has resulted in
solid growth.

     Our focus on growth in 1997 is on serving our major OEMs, continuing
development of our I-6 business and meeting accelerating demand for our V-
8 engines.

     To ensure that we can continue to provide customers the best
technology in the industry, we opened our Competitive Intelligence Center
to benchmark our engines against the competition. By conducting in-depth
analysis, we can continue to reduce costs and increase the value of our
engines. For example, we identified and implemented 15 cost-reduction
opportunities for our six-cylinder DT 466E engines to be implemented in
the 1997 model year.

     On the product development front, we continue to enhance existing
technologies to add tangible, bottom-line value. This year, we applied our
HEUI (hydraulically-actuated electronically-controlled unit injector)
technology to lead the industry in meeting future emission standards.
Using our HEUI system, we became the first diesel engine manufacturer to
meet stringent government-proposed emission standards for the year 2004.
We reduced smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels without increasing
particulate emissions or sacrificing fuel economy.

     In developing winning technologies, we will continue to meet our
customers' ongoing, changing needs. This long-term outlook, combined with
an ability to deliver a 15% ROA in any business environment, will fuel
profitable growth.

     We know that strategies alone won't do the job. To create an
environment in which aggressive operating strategies can flourish,
employees need to work effectively both individually and in teams. And
that expectation of strong performance must be supported by a work climate
that encourages and rewards behavior that benefits employees, customers
and shareowners.

     After gathering ideas and opinions from employees at all levels
throughout the company, we have a clear picture of what is needed to build
the cultural foundation Navistar requires. They've told us, we've
listened, and we've set a course for change.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 8>

     Change begins with the senior managers of the company. The old
command and control management style won't work any more. Our people want
to be involved in finding solutions for the challenges they face daily,
and they want to work in an environment characterized by trust and mutual
respect. To prepare themselves to lead the workforce toward this new
environment, senior managers themselves are learning to be more effective
team members"learning to build stronger, more effective work
relationships.

     This training for managers is a small part of the development that's
needed to help everyone at Navistar achieve top performance. We've made
continuing education a requirement, not just an option. Our focus now
extends beyond personal development to helping employees see the direct
link between individual and company performance, and ultimately shareowner
value.

     Management employees must now take at least 40 hours of core business
and skills education per year including the technical training that's
required to perform many jobs. We also partnered with the United Auto
Workers to introduce a program, called "Joint Focus," to educate Navistar
employees at all levels and locations about business realities. An
important part of this course is helping employees see what drives our
stock price, and how they as individuals play a role in the company's
viability. As approximately one-third of the company's common stock is
held by our employees through the Supplemental Trust, this learning can
help them understand how tightly their personal financial well-being is
intertwined with company performance.

     Helping to pilot the change to a performance-driven culture are our
top 450 leaders. We established a Leadership Council with regular meetings
and communications as a means to involve all management in improving
company performance. After our first leadership conference, 98% of the
participants said they had gained a deeper understanding of the company's
strategies, vision and direction, and an appreciation for their role in
helping Navistar achieve them. These individuals are charged with forging
a common understanding of Navistar's vision and strategies throughout the
organization and for delivering on performance commitments. Moreover,
management's progress on corporate strategies will be rewarded through
their annual incentive compensation.

     Navistar people have immense pride in our company and our products.
Our challenge is to create a work environment that focuses this pride on
delivering results.

     International expansion adds to the growth opportunities for both our
truck and engine operations. During the past year, we moved aggressively
to strengthen our presence in Mexico, a market that affords significant
opportunities for growth and meets our 15% ROA requirement for investment.

     In 1996, we quickly launched manufacturing capabilities, a dealer
network and a service parts business in Mexico with an investment of $17
million. A contract manufacturing agreement satisfies our need for short-
term production capability for the International 4700 and 4900 medium
trucks and International 9200 tractors. We produced 300 trucks in 1996,
and achieved a 6% market share in Mexico. We expect to produce 1,000
trucks for Mexico in 1997.

     To serve long-range market demand, Navistar's Board of Directors
approved a $167 million appropriation for construction of our own
manufacturing facility in Escobedo, Nuevo Leon. The 700,000 square-foot
plant will start production in 1998, and will have the capacity to produce
65 units per day on one shift. Volume will be increased as demand rises
with the growing strength of the Mexican economy. Increased distribution
needs will be served by an additional 30 dealer outlets scheduled to open
by 1999.

     Our Mexico operations also will serve as a launch point for other
Latin American countries, as Mexico enjoys favorable and cost effective
trade agreements with many of these countries.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 9>

     Beyond this strategic initiative, we continue to grow our businesses
in South Africa and the Middle East. As the heavy-duty truck market leader
in South Africa, we forecast steady volume and sales growth, coupled with
expansion opportunities into other nations in the South Africa Customs
Union. In the Middle East, we project strong sales growth as rising oil
prices stimulate economic growth and increased regional trade and
transportation.

     As we expand into new markets, our continuing challenge will be to
focus on profitable growth and invest in opportunities that will achieve a
15% ROA.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The company reported net income of $65 million for 1996, or $0.49 per
common share, reflecting lower sales and revenues and a one-time $35
million pretax charge for termination of its next generation truck program
in the fourth quarter of 1996.  Net income was $164 million, or $1.83 per
common share, in 1995 and $82 million, or $0.72 per common share, in 1994. 
Net income in 1994 included a $20 million after-tax charge to discontinued
operations related to environmental liabilities.  

     The company's manufacturing operations reported income before income
taxes of $22 million in 1996 compared with pretax income of $200 million
in 1995 and $98 million in 1994.  The 1996 operating results reflect a
decline in demand for trucks as well as the charge for termination of the
company's next generation truck program.  The increase between 1995 and
1994 reflects higher sales of trucks and diesel engines as well as the
effects of improved pricing and various cost improvement initiatives.

     The company's financial services operations, which include Navistar
Financial, its domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign
finance and insurance subsidiaries, had income before income taxes of $83
million, $62 million and $60 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Navistar Financial's pretax income in 1996 was $81 million, a 37%
increase from $59 million in 1995.  The change is a result of higher
income on sales of retail notes and increased volume of wholesale
financing during the first nine months of 1996.  The improved gains on
sales resulted from higher margins on retail notes reflecting declining
market interest rates prior to the date of sale.  Navistar Financial's
pretax income increased $4 million in 1995 from the $55 million reported
in 1994.  The change reflects higher income from an increased volume of
wholesale financing to support the demand for trucks and improvement in
Navistar Financial's interest cost over market interest rates offset by a
reduction in margins on retail financing.

     Earnings from the foreign finance and insurance subsidiaries were $2
million, $3 million and $5 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Sales and Revenues.  Industry retail sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks
totaled 341,200 units in 1996, a 10% decline from the 380,600 units sold
in 1995 but comparable to the 339,600 units sold in 1994.  Class 8 heavy
truck sales totaled 195,400 units, a decline of 15% from the 228,800 units
sold in 1995 and 5% from the 205,400 units sold in 1994.  Industry sales
of Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks, including school buses, totaled 145,800
units in 1996, a 4% decrease from 1995 when 151,800 units were sold, but
9% higher than the 134,200 units sold in 1994.  Industry sales of school
buses, which accounted for 22% of the medium truck market, increased 7%
over 1995 to 32,500 units.   

     Sales and revenues of $5,754 million in 1996 were 9% lower than the
$6,342 million reported in 1995 but 8% higher than the $5,337 million
reported in 1994.  Sales of trucks, mid-range diesel engines and service
parts, for 1996 totaled $5,508 million, 10% below the $6,125 million
reported for 1995 and 7% over the $5,153 million reported in 1994.

     The company maintained its position as sales leader in the combined
United States and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck market in 1996 with a
27.5% market share, an increase from both the 26.7% share in 1995 and the
27.0% share in 1994.  (Sources: American Automobile Manufacturer's
Association, the United States Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Association
and R. L. Polk  & Company.)  In 1996, the company's share of the Class 8
heavy truck market declined to 17.1% from 18.4% in 1995 and 19.6%  in
1994, reflecting intense competition in this market.

     Shipments of mid-range diesel engines by the company to other
original equipment manufacturers during 1996 were a record 163,200 units,
a 6% increase from 1995 and a 25% improvement over 1994.  Higher shipments
to a domestic automotive manufacturer to meet consumer demand for the
light trucks and vans which use this engine was the primary reason for the
increase.

     Service parts sales of $760 million in 1996 increased from the $730
million reported in 1995 and were 6% higher than the $714 million reported
in 1994 as a result of dealer and national account volume growth.

     Finance and insurance revenue for 1996 was $197 million, 18% higher
than the $167 million reported in 1995 primarily as a result of higher
income on sales of retail notes.  Revenues from financial services
operations increased 10% between 1995 and 1994 primarily as a result of
higher wholesale and retail financing volume.

     Other income was $49 million in 1996 unchanged from 1995. Other
income increased 56% between 1995 and 1994 as a result of increased
interest income from higher cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities balances.

Costs and Expenses.  Manufacturing gross margin was 12.5% of sales in
1996, compared with 13.8% in 1995 and 12.8% in 1994.  The decrease in
gross margin is the result of lower sales volumes, more competitive
pricing and the costs of terminating the next generation truck program. 
Factors which contributed to the change in gross margin between 1995 and
1994 included higher sales volumes and improved pricing offset by overtime
costs and a provision for employee profit sharing.

     Engineering and research expense increased to $129 million in 1996
from $113 million in 1995 and $97 million in 1994 reflecting investment in
new truck and engine products as well as improvements to existing
products.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 13>

     Marketing and administrative expense was $319 million in 1996
compared with $307 million in 1995 and $265 million in 1994.  The $12
million increase in the expense between 1995 and 1996 reflects investment
in the implementation of the company's strategy to reduce costs and
complexity in its manufacturing processes.  The change between 1994 and
1995 is the result of higher sales and distribution costs, and an increase
in the provision for payment to employees as provided by the company's
performance incentive programs.

     Interest expense decreased slightly to $83 million in 1996 from $87
million in 1995 but was $8 million higher than the $75 million reported in
1994.  The increase in this expense in 1996 and 1995 over 1994 was the
result of higher debt balances required by the financial services
operations to finance the increased wholesale note and account balances as
well as higher interest rates in 1995.

     Finance service charges on sold receivables were $24 million in 1996,
17% lower than in 1995 but 50% higher than 1994 reflecting the pattern of
truck unit sales over this period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flow is generated from the manufacture and sale of trucks, mid-
range diesel engines and service parts as well as product financing and
insurance coverage provided to Transportation's dealers and retail
customers by the financial services operations.

     Historically, funds to finance Transportation's products are obtained
from a combination of commercial paper, short- and long-term bank
borrowings, medium- and long-term debt issues, sales of finance
receivables and equity capital.  Navistar Financial's current debt ratings
have made bank borrowings and sales of finance receivables the most
economic sources of cash.  Insurance operations are funded through
internal operations.

     Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of the company
amounted to $881 million at October 31, 1996, $1,040 million at October
31, 1995 and $861 million at October 31, 1994.

     Cash provided by operations during 1996 totaled $118 million,
primarily from net income of $65 million, $37 million of noncash deferred
income taxes and $92 million of other noncash items, principally
depreciation.  These amounts were partially offset by a net change in
operating assets and liabilities of $76 million.  Income tax expense for
1996 was $40 million, of which $3 million were cash payments to federal
and certain state and local governments, while the remaining $37 million
of federal and other taxes reduced the deferred tax asset.

     The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $76 million
includes a $186 million decrease in receivables offset by a reduction in
accounts payable of $110 million, higher inventories and a $106 million
decrease in other liabilities.  The change in receivables and inventories
reflects lower demand for the company's products while the decline in
accounts payable is a result of lower production.  The change in other
liabilities is the result of the payment to employees as required by the
company's profit sharing agreements.

     Investment programs included a net decrease in marketable securities,
as sales of  securities exceeded purchases by $167 million.  During 1996,
the purchase of $1,108 million of retail notes and lease receivables was
funded with $982 million in proceeds from the sale of receivables and
principal collections of $125 million.  Other investment activities used
$73 million for an increase in property and equipment leased to others and
$117 million to fund capital expenditures for truck product improvements,
to increase mid-range diesel engine capacity and for programs to improve
cost performance.<PAGE>
         <PAGE 14>

     Financing activities used cash to pay $29 million in dividends on the
Series G Preferred shares and $136 million for principal payments on long-
term debt offset by an $81 million increase in notes and debt outstanding
under the bank revolving credit facility and asset-backed and other
commercial paper programs.

     During 1996, Navistar Financial supplied 94% of the wholesale
financing of new trucks sold to Transportation's dealers compared with 93%
in 1995 and 1994.  Navistar Financial's share of the retail financing of
new trucks sold in the United States increased to 16% in 1996 compared
with 14% in 1995 and 15% in 1994.

     The sale of finance receivables is a significant source of funding
for the financial services operations.  During 1996 and 1995, Navistar
Financial sold $985 million and $740 million respectively, of retail notes
through Navistar Finance Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC), a wholly
owned subsidiary.  In both years, the net proceeds were used for general
working capital purposes.

     NFRRC has filed registration statements with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which provide for the issuance of up to $5,000 million
of asset-backed securities.  At October 31, 1996, the remaining shelf
registration available to NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed securities
was $2,445 million.  See Note 9 to the Financial Statements.

     Navistar Financial has a $925 million bank revolving credit facility,
and a $400 million asset-backed commercial paper program supported by a
bank liquidity facility which mature in March 2001.  Navistar Financial
also utilizes a $500 million revolving wholesale note sales trust that
provides for the continuous sale of eligible wholesale notes on a daily
basis.  The sales trusts are comprised of three $100 million tranches of
investor certificates maturing serially from 1997 to 1999 and a $200
million tranche maturing in 2004.

     The company finances capital expenditures principally through
internally generated cash.  Capital leasing is used to fund selected
projects based on economic and operating factors.  The company had
outstanding capital commitments of $38 million at October 31, 1996 which
consist of truck and engine development and ongoing facility maintenance
programs.  In November 1996, the company announced plans to spend $167
million, over the next 2  years, to construct a new truck assembly
facility in Mexico.

     At October 31, 1996, the Canadian operating subsidiary was subject to
maximum recourse of $164 million on retail contracts and $9 million on
retail leases financed by a third party.  In addition, the company is
contingently liable for $45 million for various guarantees and buyback
programs.  Based on historic trends; however, the company's exposure is
not considered material.

     The Canadian operating subsidiary and certain financial services
subsidiaries had $260 million of assets which were restricted as to
distribution to Transportation in the form of dividends, or loans and
advances at October 31, 1996.  The company and Transportation are
obligated under certain agreements to maintain Navistar Financial's income
before interest expense and income taxes at not less than 125% of its
total interest expense.  No income maintenance payments were required for
the three years ended October 31, 1996.

         <PAGE 15>

     It is the opinion of management that, in the absence of significant
unanticipated cash demands, current and forecasted cash flow will provide
a basis of financing operating requirements, capital expenditures and
anticipated payments of preferred dividends.  Management also believes
that collections on the outstanding receivables portfolios as well as
funds available from various funding sources will permit the financial
services operations to meet the financing requirements of the company's
dealers and customers.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     As disclosed in Notes 4 and 14 to the Financial Statements,
Transportation recorded a $20 million charge in 1994, net of $13 million
of income taxes, as a loss of discontinued operations for environmental
liabilities at production facilities of two formerly owned businesses,
Wisconsin Steel and Solar Turbine, Inc. (Solar).  The $33 million pretax
charge consisted of an $11 million payment to be made to the Economic
Development Administration and a $22 million charge for potential cleanup
costs for these sites.

     In addition, the company has been named a potentially responsible
party (PRP), in conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases
arising under an environmental protection law commonly known as the
Superfund law.  These cases involve sites which allegedly have received
wastes from current or former company locations.  Based on information
available to the company, which in most cases consists of data related to
quantities and characteristics of material generated at or shipped to each
site as well as cost estimates from PRPs and/or federal or state
regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a reasonable estimate
is calculated of the company's share, if any, of the probable costs and is
provided for in the financial statements.  These obligations generally are
recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study and
are not discounted to their present value.  The company believes that,
based on these calculations, its share of the potential costs for the
cleanup of each site, other than the Wisconsin Steel and Solar sites, will
not have a material effect on the company's financial results.  The
company reviews its accruals on a regular basis.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     As disclosed in Notes 1 and 11 to the Financial Statements, the
company uses derivative financial instruments to transfer or reduce the
risks of foreign exchange and interest rate volatility, and potentially
increase the return on invested funds.  Company policy does not allow the
use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

     The company's manufacturing operations, as conditions warrant, hedge
foreign exchange exposure on the purchase of parts and materials from
foreign countries and its exposure from sales of manufactured products in
other countries.  Contracted purchases of commodities for manufacturing
may be hedged up to one year.  The manufacturing operations had no foreign
exchange exposure at October 31, 1996.

     Navistar Financial uses interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and
forward interest rate contracts when needed to convert floating rate funds
to fixed and vice versa to match its asset portfolio.  Navistar Financial
also uses forward interest rate contracts to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in funding costs from the anticipated securitization and sale
of retail notes.  Between August and October 1996, Navistar Financial
entered into $400 million of forward interest rate lock agreements which
were closed in conjunction with the pricing of the sale of $487 million of
retail receivables in November 1996.  The unrecognized loss on the
agreements at October 31, 1996, which was not material, was included in
the gain recognized on the sale of receivables.

     Both manufacturing operations and Navistar Financial purchase
collateralized mortgage obligations that have relatively stable cash flow
patterns in relation to interest rate changes.

         <PAGE 16>

PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     The company has elected to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," in fiscal
1997.  This statement allows for, and the company intends to, retain the
current method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation
arrangements with certain additional disclosures.  Accordingly, adoption
of this standard will have no effect on the company's net income or
financial position.

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of  Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities," which the company must adopt for all applicable transactions
occurring after December 31, 1996.  The standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the company's net income or financial position.

INCOME TAXES

     The Statement of Financial Condition at October 31, 1996 and 1995
includes a deferred tax asset of $1,030 million and $1,087 million,
respectively, net of a valuation allowance of $309 million and $307
million, respectively, related to future tax benefits.  The deferred tax
assets are net of valuation allowances since it is more likely than not
that some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized in the
future.

     The deferred tax asset includes the tax benefits associated with
cumulative tax losses of $1,987 million and temporary differences, which
represent the cumulative expense of $1,507 million recorded in the
Statement of Income that has not been deducted on the company's tax
returns.  The valuation allowance at October 31, 1996,  assumes that it is
more likely than not that approximately $815 million of cumulative tax
losses will not be realized before their expiration date.  Realization of
the net deferred tax asset is dependent on the generation of approximately
$2,700 million of future taxable income, of which an average of
approximately $90 million would need to be generated annually for the 13-
year period 1997 through 2009.  The remaining taxable income, which
represents the realization of tax benefits associated with temporary
differences, does not need to be generated until subsequent to 2009.  See
Note 3 to the Financial Statements.

     Extensive analysis is performed to determine the amount of the
deferred tax asset.  Such analysis is based on the premise that the
company is and will continue to be a going concern and that it is more
likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the
generation of future taxable income.  Management reviews all available
evidence, both positive and negative, to assess the long-term earnings
potential of the company using a number of alternatives to evaluate
financial results in economic cycles at various industry volume
conditions.  Other factors considered are the company's 16-consecutive-
year leadership in the combined market share of Class 5 through 8 trucks
and recognition as a worldwide leading producer of mid-range diesel
engines.  The projected availability of taxable income to realize the tax
benefit from net operating loss carryforwards and the reversal of
temporary differences before expiration of these benefits are also
considered.  Management believes that, with the combination of available
tax planning strategies and the maintenance of significant market share,
earnings are achievable in order to realize the net deferred tax asset of
$1,030 million.

     Reconciliation of the company's United States income before income
taxes for financial statement purposes to taxable income for the years
ended October 31 is as follows:

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

     Sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks are cyclical, with demand affected
by such economic factors as industrial production, construction, demand
for consumer durable goods, interest rates and the earnings and cash flow
of dealers and customers.  Although the general economy remained stable in
1996, demand for new trucks declined. This change reflected over capacity
in the trucking industry as well as uncertainty over the future growth of
the economy, causing freight carriers to scale back plans for modernizing
and expanding their truck fleets.  As a result, the Class 5 through 8
truck market experienced a significant decline in the rate of new truck
orders.  The decline in the number of new orders has reduced the company's
order backlog to 20,900 units at October 31, 1996 from 47,100 units at
October 31, 1995.  Accordingly, retail deliveries in 1997 will be highly
dependent on the rate at which new truck orders are received.  The company
will evaluate order receipts and backlog throughout the year and will
balance production with demand as appropriate.

     The company currently projects 1997 United States and Canadian Class
8 heavy truck demand to be 170,000 units, a 13% decrease from 1996.  Class
5, 6 and 7 medium truck demand, excluding school buses, is forecast at
112,000 units, unchanged from 1996.  Demand for school buses is expected
to decline slightly in 1997 to 31,500 units.  Mid-range diesel engine
shipments by the company to original equipment manufacturers in 1997 are
expected to be 176,500 units, 8% higher than in 1996.  The company's
service parts sales are projected to grow 6% to $809 million.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL REPORTING RESPONSIBILITY


     Management of Navistar International Corporation and its subsidiaries
is responsible for the preparation and for the integrity and objectivity
of the accompanying financial statements and other financial information
in this report.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that are
based on management's estimates and judgments.

     The accompanying financial statements have been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, independent auditors, whose appointment is ratified by
shareowner vote at the Annual Meeting.  Management has made available to
Deloitte & Touche LLP all the company's financial records and related data,
as well as the minutes of the Board of Directors' meetings.  Management

of internal controls throughout its operations that provides reasonable
assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the financial statements,
the protection of assets from unauthorized use and the execution and
recording of transactions in accordance with management's authorization. 
The system of internal controls which provides for appropriate division of
responsibility is supported by written policies and procedures that are
updated by management, as necessary.  The system is tested and evaluated
regularly by the company's internal auditors as well as by the independent
auditors in connection with their annual audit of the financial
statements.  The independent auditors conduct their audit in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards and perform such tests of
transactions and balances as they deem necessary.  Management considers
the recommendations of its internal auditors and independent auditors
concerning the company's system of internal controls and takes the
necessary actions that are cost-effective in the circumstances to respond
appropriately to the recommendations presented.  Management believes that
the company's system of internal controls accomplishes the objectives set
forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of six non-

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Navistar International Corporation,
Its Directors and Shareowners:


     We have audited the Statement of Financial Condition of Navistar
International Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of  October 31,
1996 and 1995,  and the related Statements of Income and Cash Flow for
each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1996.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Navistar International Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries at
October 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their
cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended October 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996


1.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

  Navistar International Corporation is a holding company, whose principal
operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation Corp.
(Transportation).  As used hereafter, "company" refers to Navistar
International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.  The
consolidated financial statements include the results of Transportation's
manufacturing operations and its wholly owned financial services
subsidiaries.  The effects of transactions between the manufacturing and
financial services operations have been eliminated to arrive at the
consolidated totals.

     Transportation operates in two principal industry segments:
manufacturing and financial services.  Manufacturing operations are
responsible for the manufacture and marketing of medium and heavy trucks,
including school buses, mid-range diesel engines and service parts
primarily in the United States and Canada as well as in selected export
markets.  Based on assets and revenues, manufacturing operations represent
the majority of Transportation's business activities.  The financial
services operations consist of Navistar Financial Corporation (Navistar
Financial), its domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign
finance and insurance subsidiaries.  Navistar Financial's primary business
is the retail and wholesale financing of products sold by the
manufacturing operations and its dealers within the United States and the
providing of commercial physical damage and liability insurance to the
manufacturing operations' dealers and retail customers and to the general
public through an independent insurance agency system.

     The distinction between current and long-term assets and liabilities
in the Statement of Financial Condition is not meaningful when finance,
insurance and manufacturing operations are combined; therefore, the
company has adopted an unclassified presentation.  Certain 1995 and 1994
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in
the 1996 financial statements.

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.

Revenue Recognition

     Manufacturing operations recognize shipments of new trucks and
service parts to independent dealers and retail customers as sales.  Price
allowances, expected in the normal course of business, and the cost of
special incentive programs are recorded at the time of sale.  Engine sales
are recognized at the time of shipment to original equipment
manufacturers.  An allowance for losses on receivables is maintained at an
amount that management considers appropriate in relation to the
outstanding receivables portfolio and it is charged when receivables are
determined to be uncollectible.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Continued)


1.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

     Financial services operations recognize finance charges on retail
notes and finance leases as income over the term of the receivables on the
accrual basis utilizing the interest  method.  Interest due from interest
bearing notes and accounts is recognized on the accrual basis.  Operating
lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of
the lease.  Selected receivables are sold and securitized to public and
private investors with limited recourse. Gains or losses on sales of
receivables are credited or charged to revenue in the period in which the
sale occurs. Financial services operations continue to service the sold
receivables and receive a fee for such services from the investor.  An
allowance for losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate based on
loss experience and other factors and it is charged when receivables are
determined to be uncollectible.

     Insurance premiums are earned on a prorata basis over the terms of
the policies.  Underwriting losses and outstanding loss reserve balances
are based on individual case estimates of the ultimate cost of settlement,
including actual losses, and determinations of amounts required for losses
incurred but not reported.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     All highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three
months or less from date of purchase, consisting primarily of bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, United States government securities and
floating rate notes, are classified as cash equivalents in the Statement
of Financial Condition and Statement of Cash Flow.

Marketable Securities

     Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities
and are reported at fair value. 

Inventories

     Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market.

Property and Other Long-Lived Assets 

     Significant expenditures for replacement of equipment, tooling and
pattern equipment, and major rebuilding of machine tools are capitalized. 
Depreciation and amortization are generally provided on the straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which average 35
years for buildings and improvements and 8 years for machinery and
equipment.  Gains and losses on property disposals are included in other
income and expense.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is
evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and
amortization period or to the unamortized balance is warranted.  Such
evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-
lived assets and the projected, undiscounted cash flows of the operations
in which the long-lived assets are deployed.

                                (Continued)


1.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Engineering and Research Expense

     Engineering and research expense, which includes research and
development expenses and routine ongoing costs associated with improving
existing products and manufacturing processes totaled $129 million, $113
million and $97 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Research and
development expenses, which included activities for the introduction of
new truck and diesel engine products and major improvements to existing
products and processes, totaled $101 million, $91 million and $88 million
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Product Related Costs

     The company accrues warranty expense at the time of end product sale. 
Product liability expense is accrued based on the estimate of total future
payments to settle product liability claims.

Derivative Financial Instruments

     The company uses derivatives to transfer or reduce risks of foreign
exchange and interest rate volatility and to potentially increase the
return on invested funds.  Navistar Financial, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Transportation, uses a variety of contracts to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in funding costs from the anticipated securitization and sale
of retail notes.  All derivatives are held for purposes other than
trading, and company policy does not allow the use of derivatives for
speculative purposes.  Gains and losses on hedges of existing assets or
liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions are included in
the carrying amounts of the related asset or liability and recognized in
income when the hedged event occurs.  Gains or losses related to
qualifying hedges of anticipated sales of receivables are deferred and are
recognized in income when the receivables are sold.

Pending Accounting Standards

     The company has elected to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," in fiscal
1997. This statement allows for, and the company intends to, retain the
current method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation
arrangements with certain additional disclosures.  Accordingly, adoption
of this standard will have no effect on the company's net income or
financial position.

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued

2.   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

     The company provides postretirement benefits to substantially all of
its employees.  Costs associated with postretirement benefits include
pension expense for employees, retirees and surviving spouses, and
postretirement health care and life insurance expense for employees,
retirees, surviving spouses and dependents.  In addition, as part of the
1993 restructured retiree health care and life insurance plans, profit
sharing payments to an independent retiree trust are required.  The cost
of postretirement benefits is segregated as a separate component in the
Statement of Income and is as follows:

                                        =======     =======     =======

     In the Statement of Financial Condition, the postretirement benefits
liability of $1,351 million in 1996 and $1,341 million in 1995 includes
$607 million and $587 million, respectively, for pension and $744 million
and $754 million, respectively, for postretirement health care and life
insurance benefits.

Pension Benefits

     Generally, the pension plans are noncontributory with benefits
related to an employee's length of service and compensation rate.  The
company's policy is to fund its pension plans in accordance with
applicable United States and Canadian government regulations and to make
additional payments as funds are available to achieve full funding of the
vested accumulated benefit obligation.  The pension plans vary in the
extent to which they are funded, but for plan years which ended during the
current year, all legal funding requirements have been met.  Plan assets
are invested primarily in dedicated portfolios of long-term fixed income
securities with more recent contributions invested in equity securities.

Pension Expense

     Net pension expense included in the Statement of Income is composed
of the following:

Millions of dollars                      1996        1995        1994

     "Amortization costs" shown in the above table include amortization of
cumulative gains and losses over the expected remaining service life of
employees, amortization of the initial transition liability over 15 years
and amortization of plan amendments, recognized over the remaining service
life of employees, except for those plan amendments arising from
negotiated labor contracts, which are amortized over the length of the
contract.

Pension Assets and Liabilities

     Included in the Statement of Financial Condition is the minimum
pension liability for certain unfunded pension plans.  The adjustment for
the minimum pension liability in the amounts of $623 million and $628
million are offset by intangible pension assets of $314 million and $284
million and accumulated reductions in shareowners' equity of $206 million
and $220 million at October 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995, respectively. 
The changes in shareowners' equity  are net of deferred income taxes of
$103 million at October 31, 1996 and $124 million at October 31, 1995. 
The minimum pension liability will change from year to year as a result of
revisions to actuarial assumptions, experience gains or losses and
settlement rate changes.

     The funded status of the company's plans as of October 31, 1996 and
1995 and a reconciliation with amounts recognized in the Statement of
Financial Condition are provided below.

Other Postretirement Benefits

     In addition to providing pension benefits, the company provides
health care and life insurance for a majority of its retired employees,
spouses and certain dependents in the United States and Canada.

     In 1993, a trust was established to provide a vehicle for funding the
health care liability through company contributions and retiree premiums. 
The funds in this trust are invested primarily in equity securities.  The
company is required to make a prefunding contribution of $200 million to
the trust on or prior to June 30, 1998.

     The components of expense for other postretirement benefits included
in the Statement of Income are as follows:

2.   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued)

Other Postretirement Benefits (continued)

     The weighted average expected return on plan assets was 10.5% for
1996, 10% for 1995 and 9% for 1994.  The weighted average of discount
rates used to determine the accumulated other postretirement benefit
obligation was  8.2% and 7.8% at October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
For 1997, the weighted average rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered health care benefits is projected to be 8.2%.  The rate is
projected to decrease to  5.0% by the year 2004 and remain at that level
each year thereafter.  If the cost trend rate assumptions were increased
by one percentage point for each year, the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation would increase by approximately $117 million and the
associated expense recognized for the year ended October 31, 1996 would
increase by an estimated $8 million.

     The domestic and foreign components of income (loss) from continuing
operations before income taxes consist of the following:

     The deferred tax expense does not represent cash payment of income
taxes and was primarily generated by the utilization of  net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards and the increase of temporary differences, and
will not require future cash payments.  Consolidated tax payments made
during 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $3 million, $9 million and $5 million,
respectively.

3.   INCOME TAXES   (continued)

     The relationship of the tax expense to the income of continuing
operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 differs from the U.S. statutory rate
(35%) because of state income taxes and the benefit of NOLs in foreign
countries. The effective tax rates on the income of continuing operations
for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 38.1%, 37.4% and 35.4%,
respectively.

     Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were $30 million and
$28 million at October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Taxes have not
been provided on these earnings because no withholding taxes are
applicable upon repatriation and U.S. tax would be substantially offset by
utilization of NOL carryforwards.

     Taxpaying entities of the company offset all deferred tax assets and
liabilities within each tax jurisdiction and present them in a single
amount in the Statement of Financial Condition.  The components of the
deferred tax asset (liability) at October 31 are as follows:

3.   INCOME TAXES (continued)

     A valuation allowance has been provided for those NOL carryforwards
and temporary differences which are estimated to expire before they are
utilized.  Because the foreign tax carryforward period is relatively
short, a full allowance has been provided against the total deferred tax
assets.  The valuation allowance increased $2 million during 1996
resulting from tax benefits associated with foreign NOLs.

     At October 31, 1996, the company had $1,982 million of domestic and
$5 million of foreign NOL carryforwards available to offset future taxable

     Effective March 29, 1996, Navistar Financial amended and restated its
bank revolving credit facility and its asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP)
program, extending the maturity date of each facility to March 2001.  In
addition, the commitment of the bank revolving credit facility was expanded
to $925 million, the ABCP facility was increased to $400 million, and a new
pricing and fee schedule was established.  The available funding under the
ABCP program is $414 million, comprised of the $400 million liquidity
facility and $14 million of trust certificates issued in connection with the
ABCP trust.

     Under the terms of the ABCP program, a special purpose wholly owned
subsidiary of Navistar Financial will purchase retail notes and lease
receivables.  All assets of the subsidiary will be pledged or sold to a trust
that will fund the receivables with investment grade commercial paper.  The
assets may also be sold to the trust.

     Available funding under the amended and restated credit agreement and
ABCP program was $233 million, of which $99 million was used to back short-
term debt at October 31, 1996.  The remaining $134 million, when combined
with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, made $141 million available to
fund the general business purposes of Navistar Financial at October 31, 1996.

9.  DEBT (continued)

     Navistar Financial's wholly owned subsidiaries, Navistar Financial
Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC) and Navistar Financial Securities
Corporation (NFSC), have a limited purpose of purchasing retail and wholesale
receivables, respectively, and transferring an undivided ownership interest
in such notes to investors in exchange for pass-through notes and
certificates.  The subsidiaries have limited recourse on the sold receivables
and their assets are available to satisfy the claims of their creditors prior
to such assets becoming available to Navistar Financial or affiliated
companies.

     NFSC has in place $500 million of revolving wholesale note sales trusts
that provide for the continuous sale of eligible wholesale notes on a daily
basis.  The sales trusts are comprised of three $100 million tranches of
investor certificates maturing serially from 1997 to 1999 and a $200 million
tranche maturing in 2004.  

     During 1996, Navistar Financial sold $985 million of retail notes, net
of unearned finance income, through NFRRC in two separate sales to two
individual owner trusts which in turn sold $946 million of notes and $39
million of certificates to investors.  The net proceeds, after underwriting
costs and credit enhancements, of $934 million were used by Navistar
Financial for general working capital purposes. At October 31, 1996, the
remaining shelf registration available to NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed
securities was $2,445 million.

     In November 1996, Navistar Financial sold $487 million of retail notes
through NFRRC.  The net proceeds of $473 million were used for general
working capital purposes.

11.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of financial instruments, as reported in the
Statement of Financial Condition and described in various Notes to the
Financial Statements, and their fair values at October 31 are as follows:

                                1996                   1995
                         ------------------     -------------------

     Cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.  The cost and fair
value of marketable securities are disclosed in Note 5.

     Customer receivables, wholesale notes and retail and wholesale
accounts and other variable-rate retail notes approximate fair value as a
result of the short-term maturities of the financial instruments.  The
fair value of  truck retail notes is estimated based on quoted market
prices of similar sold receivables.  The fair value of amounts due from
sales of receivables is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at
estimated current market rates.

     The fair value of investments and other assets is estimated based on
quoted market prices or by discounting future cash flows.

     The short-term debt and variable-rate borrowings under Navistar
Financial's bank revolving credit agreement, which is repriced frequently,
approximate fair value.  The fair value of long-term debt is estimated
based on quoted market prices, when available.  If a quoted market price
is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar financial instruments or discounting future cash flows.

11.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   (continued) 

Derivatives Held or Issued for Purposes Other Than Trading

     The company uses derivatives to transfer or reduce risks of foreign
exchange and interest rate volatility and to potentially increase the
return on invested funds.

     The company purchases collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) that
have predetermined fixed-principal payment patterns which are relatively
certain.  These instruments totaled $94 million at October 31, 1996.  At
October 31, 1996,  the unrecognized gain on the CMOs was not material.

     Navistar Financial manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates by limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable
rate debt, by selling fixed rate retail receivables on a fixed rate basis
and, to a lesser extent, by utilizing financial derivative instruments. 
These instruments may include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and
forward interest rate contracts.  Navistar Financial enters into forward
interest rate contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in funding
costs from the anticipated securitization and sale of retail notes.

     Between August and October 1996, Navistar Financial entered into $400
million of forward interest rate lock agreements on a Treasury note
maturing in 1998 related to the anticipated November 1996 sale of retail
receivables.  These hedge agreements were closed in conjunction with the
pricing of the sale, and the loss at October 31, 1996, which was not
material, was deferred and included in the gain recognized on the sale of
receivables in November 1996.

12.   COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, RESTRICTED ASSETS, CONCENTRATIONS,
      AND LEASES

Commitments, contingencies and restricted assets

     At October 31, 1996, commitments for capital expenditures in progress
were approximately $38 million. 

     Navistar Financial's maximum exposure under all receivable sale
recourse provisions at October 31, 1996 was $215 million; however,
Navistar Financial's exposure is not considered material.

     At October 31, 1996, the Canadian operating subsidiary was
contingently liable for retail customers' contracts and leases financed by
a third party.  The company is subject to maximum recourse of $164 million
on retail contracts and $9 million on retail leases. In addition, as of
October 31, 1996, the company is contingently liable for approximately $45
million for various guarantees and buyback programs; however, based on
historical loss trends, the company's exposure is not considered material.

     The Canadian operating subsidiary and certain subsidiaries included
in financial services operations are parties to agreements which restrict
the amounts which can be distributed to Transportation in the form of
dividends or loans and advances which can be made.  As of October 31,
1996, these subsidiaries had $385 million of net assets of which $260
million was restricted as to distribution.
 
     The company and Transportation are obligated under certain agreements
with public and private lenders of Navistar Financial to maintain the
subsidiary's income before interest expense and income taxes at not less
than 125% of its total interest expense.  No income maintenance payments
were required for the 3 years ended October 31, 1996. 

Concentrations

     At October 31, 1996, the company employed 9,043 hourly workers and
5,143 salaried workers in the United States and Canada.  Approximately 91%
of the hourly employees and 23% of the salaried employees are represented
by unions.  Of these represented employees, 89% of the hourly workers and
93% of the salaried workers are represented by the United Automobile,
Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW)  or the
National Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
Canada (CAW).  The collective bargaining agreements with the UAW and the
CAW expire on October 1, 1998 and October 24, 1999, respectively.

     Reflecting higher consumer demand for light trucks and vans, sales of
mid-range diesel engines to a domestic automobile manufacturer have
increased from 10% of consolidated sales and revenues in 1994 to 12% in
1995 and 14% in 1996.

12.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, RESTRICTED ASSETS, CONCENTRATIONS,
     AND LEASES

Leases

     The company has long-term noncancellable leases for use of various
equipment and facilities.  Lease terms are generally for 5 to 25 years
and, in many cases, provide for renewal options.  The company is generally
obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance.  The
company leases office buildings, distribution centers, furniture and
equipment, machinery and equipment, and computer equipment.

     The majority of the company's lease payments are for operating
leases.  At October 31, 1996, future minimum lease payments under
operating leases having lease terms in excess of one year are:  1997 - $33
million, 1998 - $30 million, 1999 - $29 million, 2000 - $29 million, 2001
- $21 million and thereafter - $55 million.  Total operating lease expense
was $35 million in 1996, $42 million in 1995 and $38 million in 1994. 
Income received from sublease rentals was $6 million in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

13.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims
arising in the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various
legal proceedings which constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental
to the business of the company and its subsidiaries.  In the opinion of
the company's management, none of these proceedings or claims is material
to the business or the financial condition of the company.

14.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     In the fourth quarter of 1994, Transportation recorded a $20 million
charge, net of $13 million of income taxes,  as a loss of discontinued
operations related to environmental liabilities at production facilities
of two formerly owned businesses, Wisconsin Steel and Solar Turbine, Inc.
(Solar).  Transportation reached an agreement with the Economic
Development Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce,
in 1994 in settlement of commercial and environmental disputes related to
the Wisconsin Steel property.  At October 31, 1996, the final consent
decree remained subject to approval by the U.S. Department of Justice and
by Transportation.

     The company has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP), in
conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising under an
environmental protection law known as the Superfund law.  These cases
involve sites which allegedly have received wastes from current or former
company locations.  Based on information available to the company, which
in most cases consists of data related to quantities and characteristics
of material generated at or shipped to each site as well as cost estimates
from PRPs and/or federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of
these sites, a reasonable estimate is calculated of the company's share,
if any, of the probable costs and is provided for in the financial
statements.  These obligations generally are recognized no later than
completion of the remedial feasibility study and are not discounted to
their present value.  The company believes that, based on these
calculations, its share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup
of each site, other than the Wisconsin Steel and Solar sites, will not
have a material effect on the company's financial results.  The company
reviews its accruals on a regular basis.

18.  STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

     The Navistar 1994 Performance Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan), which
replaced the Navistar 1988 Performance Incentive Plan, provides for the
granting of stock options and restricted stock to key employees as
determined by the Committee on Organization of the Board of Directors
(Committee).

     The Incentive Plan includes the granting of two types of stock option
awards, nonqualified options and incentive options.  Nonqualified and
incentive options, which may be granted by the Committee in amounts and at
times as it may determine, have a term of not more than ten years and one
day and ten years, respectively, and are exercisable at a price equal to
the fair market value of the stock on the day of the grant.  Generally,
these options are not exercisable during the first year. Payment for the
exercise of any of the options may be made by cash or by delivering, at
fair market value, shares of Common Stock already owned by the option-
owner or by a combination of cash and shares.

     The following table summarizes changes in Common Stock under option
plans for the years ended October 31:
