February 11, 1994

To the Participants and 
Plan Administrator of the
Tax Deferred Savings Plan
for Eligible Employees of
Caterpillar Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Tax Deferred Savings Plan (for Eligible Employees of Caterpillar
Inc.) and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                           TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN
                  FOR ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES OF CATERPILLAR INC.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - PLAN DESCRIPTION:

The following description of the Tax Deferred Savings Plan (Plan) provides only
general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.  

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by the Company to enable
eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation until retirement. 

Participation

Employees under collective bargaining agreements to which the Plan is extended
meeting certain age, service and citizen or residency requirements are eligible
to participate in the Plan.  Participation commences upon an eligible employee's
filing of an application with the Company. 

At December 31, 1993, 6,626 employees are participating in the Plan.  At
December 31, 1992, 6,462 employees were participating in the Plan.  

Participant accounts

Accounts are maintained separately for each participant.  The participant's
separate account is credited with the Company's contribution as defined below
and an allocation of Plan earnings.  Allocations of earnings are based on
participant account balances, as defined.  The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.  

Loan provisions

The Plan provides for participant loans against eligible participants' separate
account balances.  Eligible employees obtain participant loans by filing a loan
application with the Company and receiving approval thereof.  Loan amounts are
generally limited to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the individual
participant's account balance.  Loan repayment terms may range from 6 to 117
months depending on the type of loan and bear interest at the prime interest
rate plus 1%.  Repayments, including interest, are made through payroll
deductions and are credited to the individual participant's account balance. 


 
Contributions

The employer contributes the amount of compensation deferral, as elected by the
participating employee, to the Plan.  During 1993, the reduction in compensation
was limited to (a) the greater of $4,500 or 4% of the employee's compensation
(limited by the Internal Revenue Code to $8,994 in 1993) for participants
earning in excess of $60,530 or (b) $8,994 for participants earning less than
$60,530.  

Investment programs

Employees may elect to have contributions on their behalf invested in any
combination of the funds shown on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits. 

Vesting, distribution and plan termination

Participants are fully vested in contributions made on their behalf.  Upon
termination of employment for any reason, including death, retirement or because
of total and permanent disability, or upon Plan termination, the balances in a
participant's account are distributable. 

Administration

The Plan is administered by the Vice President - Human Services Division of
Caterpillar Inc.  The Plan Administrator has entered into trust agreements with
The Northern Trust Company to receive contributions, administer the assets of
the trust and distribute withdrawals pursuant to the Plan.  The Benefits Funds
Committee of Caterpillar Inc. is responsible for financial aspects of the Plan.

Federal income tax status

The Plan is a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code and has received a
favorable determination letter.  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Investments

The Guaranteed Investment Contracts are stated at contract value, which
approximates market, on December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  Other
investments are stated at quoted market prices, or unit values based on quoted
market values, at the close of business on December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.  Income from investments is recorded as earned.

The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1992 combines activity of the Government Fixed Income Fund
prior to July 1, 1992 and activity of


 
the Preferred Short-Term Government Fund after July 1, 1992.  Likewise, activity
of the Short-Term Investment Fund before July 1, 1992 and activity of the
Preferred Money Market Fund after July 1, 1992 are combined.  The investment
objectives of the funds combined are consistent.  

Administrative expenses

Trustee fees and certain investment and administrative costs are
paid by Caterpillar Inc. (Company).  

NOTE 3 - TRANSFERS BETWEEN PLANS:

In April 1991, transfers of assets occurred between the Caterpillar Inc.
Employees' Investment Plan Part II and the Tax Deferred Savings Plan (for
Eligible Employees of Caterpillar Inc.).  The transfers reflect the cumulative
differences in net assets arising from changes in employee eligibility and
transfers of participating employees between the various companies sponsoring
the plans.  Transfers between the plans are reported net on the statement of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits.  

NOTE 4 - UNIT VALUES:

The Plan assigns units to participants directing investments to any of the
Preferred Group of Mutual Funds, the Caterpillar Common Stock Fund and the
Stable Principal Fund.  The unit values assigned by the Plan reflect the current
values of the individual funds.  Total units held (in thousands) by the Plan and
their respective unit values at each month end are shown on the accompanying
schedule on page 11.

NOTE 5 - MASTER TRUST:

Under a Master Trust agreement with The Northern Trust Company, Caterpillar
Inc.'s Employees' Investment Plan Part II, Solar Turbines Incorporated's Savings
and Investment Plan and the Tax Deferred Savings Plan (for Eligible Employees of
Caterpillar Inc.) pool their investments in the Caterpillar Inc. 401(K) Master
Trust in exchange for a percentage of participation in the Trust.  

Effective July 1992, the Master Trust began investing in the Preferred Group of
Mutual Funds which are sponsored by Caterpillar Investment Management Ltd.
(CIML), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Preferred Group of Mutual
Funds comprise the following:

                     Preferred Short-Term Government Fund
                     Preferred Money Market Fund
                     Preferred Value Fund
                     Preferred International Fund
                     Preferred Growth Fund
                     Preferred Asset Allocation Fund
                     Preferred Fixed Income Fund


 
CIML manages the Preferred Short-Term Government Fund.  All other funds are
managed by unrelated investment managers.  Caterpillar Securities, Inc. a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CIML, distributes the shares of the mutual funds to
the Master Trust.  

The percentage of the Plan's participation in the Master Trust was determined
based on the December 31, 1993 and 1992 market values of net assets, as
accumulated by the Trustee for the investment funds of each plan.  At December
31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan's pro rata interest in the quoted market values of
net assets of each of the funds of the Master Trust was as follows:

The net investment gain or loss of the Master Trust is reflected in the
financial statements of the Plan based on the actual earnings of each investment
fund.  Refer to pages 12 and 13 for an analyses of the net assets and changes in
net assets of the investments of the Master Trust as of December 31, 1993.  

Effective September 1, 1993, the Employees' Investment Plan was amended to allow
retirees or those participants eligible to retire to transfer funds from Part I
of the Employees' Investment Plan to investment funds within the Master Trust.
