Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994, are incorporated by

                                    Part I
Item 1.  Business

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of Texas on March 4, 1902 and
since that date, has maintained its principal office and manufacturing
facilities in Lufkin, Texas.  The Company designs, manufactures, sells, and
services various types of oil field pumping units, power transmission products,
foundry castings and trailers. During 1994, the Company sold its industrial
supplies unit to focus on these core businesses.  The Company also sold its
Churchill manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Chanute,
Kansas.  The sale of this facility enabled the Company to consolidate the
manufacturing operations of oil field pumping units into its Lufkin location.
Lufkin manufactures four basic types of pumping units:  an air-balanced unit; a
beam-balanced unit; a crank-balanced unit; and a Mark II Unitorque unit.  The
basic differences between the four types relate to the counterbalancing system.
The depth of a well and the desired fluid production determine the type of
counterbalancing configuration that is required.  There are numerous sizes and
combinations of Lufkin oil field pumping units within the four basic types.  The
Company's power transmission products (speed increasers and reducers) are
designed, manufactured and sold primarily for use in industrial applications
such as petrochemical, refining, rubber, plastics and steel and for use in
marine propulsion applications.  The Company produces numerous sizes and
combinations of gears.  The Company's foundry castings are primarily customer
designed components manufactured by Lufkin for use in customer products.  Lufkin
also produces various sizes and styles of trailers, including vans, platforms,
and dumps.

     The Company manufactures most of the component parts used in its Machinery
Division products and purchases the raw materials and outside manufactured parts
from a variety of suppliers on an order basis.  The Trailer Division generally
assembles various component parts manufactured by others.  The inventory
consists primarily of raw materials and component parts which are generally
assembled into finished products to fill specific customer orders.  These
finished products are sold primarily by the Company's own employees.

     Oil field pumping units are the Company's primary products sold for export.
These sales, other than to Canada, are made principally through foreign sales
representatives, licensees and distributors.  During 1994, foreign sales
accounted for approximately 16 percent of the Company's total net sales.

     The Company's domestic and international markets are highly competitive
with price, quality and speed of delivery being important factors.  While the
Company believes that it is one of the larger manufacturers of sucker rod
pumping units in the United States, manufacturers of other types of units
(submersibles and hydraulics)  have a significant share of the total pumping
unit market.  The Company does not believe it has a large market share in the
power transmission, castings or trailer markets.

     The Company employed approximately 1,950 people, including approximately
1,450 at December 31, 1994, that were paid on an hourly basis.  The Company has
an open shop contract, which runs to October 6, 1996, with three AFL-CIO labor
unions.  The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

     Additional information required by Item 1 is included in the sections
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis", "Letter to the Shareholders",
and "Product Line Information" of the Annual Report, portions of which sections
are incorporated herein by reference and included as part of Exhibit 13.

Item 2.  Properties

     The Company's major manufacturing facilities are located in and near
Lufkin, are owned in fee and include approximately 150 acres and a foundry,
machine shop, structural shops, assembly shops and warehouses.  The Company also
has a plant in Nisku, Canada which produces structural parts for pumping units.
These parts are then assembled with parts shipped from Lufkin and are delivered
to the Company's Canadian customers.

of the Company serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors of the Company.
