ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its
principal operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation
Corp. referred to as "Transportation".  As used hereafter, "Navistar" or
"company" refers to Navistar International Corporation and its
subsidiaries.

     Navistar, through its wholly owned subsidiary 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 the company's business activities. The financial services operations
consist of Navistar Financial Corporation (NFC), its domestic insurance
subsidiary and the company's foreign finance and insurance subsidiaries. 
NFC'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.  Industry segment data for 1997, 1996, and 1995 is summarized in
Note 14 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCK INDUSTRY

     The market in which Navistar competes is subject to considerable
volatility as it moves in response to cycles in the overall business
environment and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector which
generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled.
Government regulation has impacted and will continue to impact trucking
operations and efficiency and the specifications of equipment.

     The following table shows industry retail deliveries in the
combined United States and Canadian markets for the five years ended
October 31, in thousands of units:

     The Class 5 through 8 truck market in the United States and Canada
is highly competitive.  Major domestic competitors include PACCAR, Ford
and General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled manufacturers, such as
Freightliner, Mack and Volvo GM.  In addition, manufacturers from Japan
(Hino, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi) are competing in the United States
and Canadian markets.  The intensity of this competition results in
price discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry.  In
addition to the influence of price, market position is driven by product
quality, engineering, styling, utility and distribution.

TRANSPORTATION MARKET SHARE

     Transportation delivered 99,500 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including
school buses, in the United States and Canada in fiscal 1997, a 6%
increase from the 94,000 units delivered in 1996.  Navistar's combined
share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market was 28.6% in 1997 and 27.5%
in 1996.  Transportation has been the leader in combined market share
for Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, in the United
States and Canada in each of its last 17 fiscal years based on data
obtained from the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, the
United States Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association and R.L. Polk &
Company.

     Transportation manufactures a full line of products in the common
carrier, private carrier, government/service, leasing, construction,
energy/petroleum and student transportation markets. Transportation
offers diesel-powered trucks and buses because of their improved fuel
economy, ease of serviceability and greater durability over gasoline-
powered vehicles.  Transportation's  Class 8 heavy trucks generally use
diesel engines purchased from outside suppliers while Class 5, 6 and 7
medium trucks are powered by a proprietary line of mid-range diesel
engines manufactured by Transportation. Based upon information published
by R.L. Polk & Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck
shipments represented 87% of all medium truck shipments for fiscal year
1997 in the United States and Canada.

     Transportation's truck and bus manufacturing operations in the
United States and Canada consist principally of the assembly of
components manufactured by its suppliers, although Transportation
produces its own mid-range diesel truck engines, sheet metal components
(including cabs) and miscellaneous other parts.  During 1997, the
company announced plans for approximately $350 million in capital
spending and $300 million in development expense over the next six years
for development of the next generation truck.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 5>

ENGINE AND  FOUNDRY

     Transportation builds diesel engines for use in its Class 5, 6 and
7 medium trucks, school buses, selected Class 8 heavy truck models and
for sale to original equipment manufacturers in the United States and
Canada. Transportation also sells engines for industrial, agricultural
and marine applications. Transportation is the leading supplier of mid-
range diesel engines in the 160-300 horsepower range according to data
supplied by  Power Systems Research of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

     Transportation has an agreement to supply its 7.3 liter (7.3L)
electronically controlled diesel engine to Ford Motor Company (Ford)
through the year 2002 for use in all of its diesel-powered light trucks
and vans.  Sales of this engine to Ford currently account for
approximately 87% of Transportation's  7.3L sales.  Shipments of engines
to all original equipment manufacturers totaled a record 184,000 units
in 1997, an increase of 13% from the 163,200 units shipped in 1996. 
During 1997, Transportation entered into a ten-year agreement, effective
with model year 2003, to supply Ford with a 7.3L replacement product for
use in its diesel-powered light trucks and vans.

SERVICE PARTS

     In the United States and Canada, Transportation operates 7 regional
parts distribution centers, which allows it to offer 24-hour
availability and same day shipment of the parts most frequently
requested by customers.  The company also operates a parts distribution
center in Mexico.

     Transportation's service parts program is vital to the maintenance
of the relationship with its customers and dealers.  The sale of
replacement parts does not represent a separate and distinct business of
Transportation.  Transportation's truck group makes decisions about the
pricing of trucks and replacement parts based upon a variety of factors
which integrally link the pricing and sale of replacement parts with the
sale of medium and heavy trucks, including school buses.  The acceptable
price for dealers and fleet truck sales is determined by not only
looking at the market price of the individual trucks themselves, but
also by analyzing the amount of future replacements parts that will be
purchased from Transportation over the truck's life cycle and the total
expected profit contribution, including future replacement parts,
expected to be realized on each sale.  Accordingly, the pricing of
trucks and replacement parts is not independently determined.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

     Transportation's truck products are distributed in virtually all
key markets in the United States and Canada.  Transportation's truck
distribution and service network in these countries was composed of 
954, 957 and 958 dealers and retail outlets at October 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.  Included in these totals were 514, 504 and 490
secondary and associate locations at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The company also has a dealer network in Mexico composed
of 38 and 23 dealer locations at October 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

     Retail dealer activity is supported by 5 regional operations in the
United States and general offices in Canada and Mexico.  Transportation
has a national account sales group, responsible for 99 major national
account customers.   Transportation's network of 16 Used Truck Centers
in the United States provides trade-in support to the company's dealers
and national accounts group, and markets all makes and models of
reconditioned used trucks  to owner-operators and fleet buyers.  Trucks,
components and service parts are exported for wholesale and retail sale
to more than 70 countries around the world.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
     
     NFC is a financial services organization that provides wholesale,
retail and  lease financing of new and used trucks sold by
Transportation and its dealers in the United States.  NFC also finances
wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable of
Transportation.  Sales of new products (including trailers) of other
manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or
customarily sold for use with Transportation's truck products.  During
1997 and 1996, NFC provided wholesale financing for 94% of the new truck
units sold by Transportation to its dealers and distributors in the
United States and retail and lease financing for 13% and 16%,
respectively, of all new truck units sold or leased by Transportation to
retail customers.  

     NFC's wholly owned domestic insurance subsidiary, Harco National
Insurance Company, provides commercial physical damage and liability
insurance coverage to Transportation's dealers and retail customers, and
to the general public through an independent insurance agency system.

     Harbour Assurance Company of Bermuda Limited offers a variety of
programs to the company, including general liability insurance, ocean
cargo coverage for shipments to and from foreign distributors, and
reinsurance coverage for various Transportation policies.  

IMPORTANT SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

     In the United States, Transportation has a third party sales
financing agreement with Associates Commercial Corporation to provide
wholesale financing to certain of its truck dealers and retail financing
to their customers.  Navistar International Corporation Canada also has
an agreement with a subsidiary of General Electric Capital Canada, Inc.
to provide financing for Canadian dealers and customers.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development activities, which are directed toward the
introduction of new products and improvements of existing products and
processes used in their manufacture, totaled $92 million, $101 million,
and $91 million for  1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

BACKLOG

     The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or
return in certain events) at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $2,360
million, $1,254 million and $2,581 million, respectively.

     Although the backlog of unfilled orders is one of many indicators
of market demand, other factors such as changes in production rates,
available capacity, new product introductions and competitive pricing
actions may affect point-in-time comparisons.

EMPLOYEES

     The company employed 16,168, 14,187 and 16,079 individuals at
October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 7>

LABOR RELATIONS

     At October 31, 1997, the United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 8,079 of the
company's active employees in the United States, and the Canadian Auto
Workers (CAW) represented 2,142 of the company's active employees in
Canada.  Other unions represented 955 of the company's active employees
in the United States and Canada.  The company entered into a collective
bargaining agreement with the UAW in 1995, which would have expired on
October 1, 1998.  During August 1997, the company's collective
bargaining agreement with the UAW was extended through October 1, 2002. 
This contract allows the company to focus its assembly plants, simplify
current product lines, invest in new product development, and achieve
more competitive wage, benefit and productivity levels.  In addition,
the company entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the CAW
in 1996, which expires on October 24, 1999.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

     Transportation continuously obtains patents on its inventions and,
thus, owns a significant patent portfolio.  Additionally, many of the
components which Transportation purchases for its products are protected
by patents that are owned or controlled by the component manufacturer. 
Transportation has licenses under third-party patents relating to its
products and their manufacture, and Transportation grants licenses under
its patents.  The royalties paid or received under these licenses are
not significant.  No particular patent or group of patents is considered
by Transportation to be essential to its business as a whole.

     Like all businesses which offer well-known products or services,
Transportation's primary trademarks are an important part of its
worldwide sales and marketing efforts, and provide instant
identification of its products and services in the marketplace.  To
support these efforts, Transportation maintains, or has pending,
registrations of its primary trademarks in those countries in which it
does business or expects to do business.

RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY SUPPLIES

     Transportation purchases raw materials, parts and components from
numerous outside suppliers but relies upon some suppliers for a
substantial number of components for its truck and engine products. A
majority of Transportation's requirements for raw materials and supplies
is filled by single-source suppliers. 

     The impact of an interruption in supply will vary by commodity. 
Some parts are generic to the industry while others are of a proprietary
design requiring unique tooling which would require time to recreate. 
However, the company's exposure to a disruption in production as a
result of an interruption of raw materials and supplies is no greater
than the industry as a whole.  In order to remedy any losses resulting
from an interruption in supply, the company maintains contingent
business interruption insurance for storms, fire and water damage.

     While the company believes that it has adequate assurances of
continued supply, the inability of a supplier to deliver could have an
adverse effect on production at certain of the company's manufacturing
locations.
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 8>

IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face increasing
governmental regulation of their products, especially in the areas of
environment and safety.  The company believes its products comply with
all applicable environmental and safety regulations.

     As a diesel engine manufacturer, the company has incurred research
and tooling costs to  redesign its engine product lines to meet the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California
Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards effective for the 1998
model year. In addition to the 1998 standards, the company, along with
other engine manufacturers, has signed a voluntary agreement (Statement
of Principles) with U.S. EPA and CARB to achieve new reductions in
ozone-causing exhaust emissions by 2004.  In October 1997, as a result
of the Statement of Principles, the U.S. EPA issued  a final rule
defining heavy-duty emission requirements for the 2004 model year.  The
company will also provide engines that satisfy 1998 Clean Fuel Fleet
Vehicle requirements and must also satisfy California's emission
standards in  2002 for engines used in medium-size vehicles (which
includes vehicles up to 14,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).  The
company expects that its diesel engines will be able to meet all of
these standards within the required time frame.

     Effective with the 1998 model year, Canada's emission standards
mirror those of the U.S. EPA and  require the sale of low-sulfur diesel
fuel effective October 1, 1997.  Mexico has adopted the U.S. heavy
diesel engine emission standards as of the 1994 model year but has
conditioned compliance on the availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel.

     Truck manufacturers are also subject to various noise standards
imposed by federal, state and local regulations.  The engine is one of a
truck's primary noise sources, and the company, therefore, works closely
with original equipment manufacturers to develop strategies to reduce
engine noise.  The company is also subject to the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety Act) and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (Safety Standards) promulgated by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.  The company believes it is in compliance with
the Safety Act and the Safety Standards. 

     Expenditures to comply with various environmental regulations
relating to the control of air, water and land pollution at production
facilities and to control noise levels and emissions from
Transportation's products have not been material except for two sites
formerly owned by the company, Wisconsin Steel in Chicago, Illinois, and
Solar Turbine in San Diego, California.  In 1994, Transportation
recorded a $20 million after-tax charge as a loss of discontinued
operations for environmental liabilities and cleanup cost at these two
sites.  It is not expected that the costs of compliance with foreseeable
environmental requirements will have a material effect on the company's
financial position or operating results.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     In the United States and Canada, Transportation owns and operates
eight manufacturing and assembly operations, which contain approximately
nine million square feet of floor space.  Four facilities manufacture
and assemble trucks, two plants manufacture diesel engines and two
locations produce gray iron castings.  The company also manufactures
trucks at a facility owned and operated through a joint venture in the
U.S. and is constructing a truck assembly facility in Mexico. In
addition, Transportation owns or leases other significant properties in
the United States and Canada including vehicle and parts distribution
centers, sales offices, an engineering center and its headquarters in
Chicago. 
<PAGE>
         <PAGE 9>

     Transportation's principal research and engineering facilities are
located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Melrose Park, Illinois.  In
addition, certain research is conducted at its manufacturing plants.

     All of Transportation's plants are being utilized and have been
maintained adequately, are in good operating condition and are suitable
for its current needs through productive utilization of the facilities. 
These facilities, together with planned capital expenditures, are
expected to meet Transportation's manufacturing needs in the foreseeable
future.

     A majority of the activity of the financial services operations is
conducted from its leased headquarters in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. 
The financial services operations also lease six other office locations
in the United States.

ITEM 3.  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
are material to the business or the financial condition of the company.
