EXHIBIT 13.  PORTIONS OF LUFKIN INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


                            LUFKIN INDUSTRIES, INC.
                            LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS



To Our Shareholders:

          For the year ended December 31, 1995, Lufkin Industries, Inc.
continued to increase its competitive position while achieving positive results.
Net sales were $248.9 million for 1995, a 14.6% increase over the $217.3 million
reported for the year ended December 31, 1994.

          Net income for 1995 was $8.9 million, or $1.31 per share, compared
with a net loss of $1.2 million, or ($0.18) per share, for the same period a
year ago.  The net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994, included $11.2
million of pre-tax charges for special inventory write-downs taken during the
second and third quarters of 1994.  Without these special inventory provisions
and their related LIFO benefits, Lufkin would have reported net earnings of $5.3
million, or $.78 per share, for 1994.

          Sales of our power transmission, oil field, foundry castings, and
trailer product lines all showed increases in 1995 compared with 1994.  Sales of
power transmission products increased 9% to $60.1 million compared with $55.3
million in 1994.  Power transmission product sales benefitted from stronger
industrial markets, particularly outside the U.S.  Foundry castings sales were
$31.8 million, up 5% from a year ago.  Lufkin continued to expand its market
share in engineered castings and maintain its strong presence in the forklift
counterweight market.  Oil field products sales rose by 13% in 1995 to $46.4
million from $40.9 million in 1994.  Over the last two years we have focused on
reducing operating costs through consolidating operations into our Lufkin,
Texas, facility.  The more efficient operations and our strong international
presence have provided the Company with greater flexibility to meet the needs of
our customers worldwide.

          Trailer products sales in 1995 were $110.5 million, an increase of 26%
compared with $87.8 million in 1994.  While 1995 was a record year for our
Trailer Division, we observed some softening of the U.S. economy throughout the
second half of 1995 and a decline in trailer orders.  Lufkin reacted to these
changing market conditions by enacting steps late in the year to adjust the
workforce to the anticipated 1996 market conditions.  The workforce reductions
returned the division to the 1994 production and employment levels, which by
historical standards represented a very good year for the division.  We remain
committed to a strong Trailer Division, and we will continue to make capital
improvements, carry on an aggressive sales effort, and promote the division's
new "plate" trailer, which made its debut on December 10, 1995.

          Economic and market conditions also contributed to a slowdown in new
orders for trailer products which impacted our backlog.  These conditions
reduced our backlog for trailers at year end to $40.2 million from $75.6 million
a year ago.  The backlog for power transmission products was $36.0 million
compared with $21.1 million at December 31, 1994, for oil field equipment it was
$8.1 million compared with $8.5 million last year, and was $15.8 million for
foundry castings compared with $4.2 million, at December 31, 1994.  At December
31, 1995, our total backlog was $100.1 million compared with $109.4 million at
December 31, 1994.

          Lufkin ended fiscal 1995 with a very strong balance sheet.  At
December 31, 1995, the Company had total assets of $186.3 million and its
working capital was $74.9 million.  Shareholders' equity at year end was over
$142.5 million, and the book value was $21.04 per share.  Lufkin had no
outstanding debt at year end.

          Our primary goal for 1995 was to improve financial performance by
building on our present operations. We believe we were successful in achieving
this goal.

          For 1996 we will continue to leverage the improvements in our
operations.  We will support this general goal with activities that include:

 
          . Increasing capital expenditures where appropriate returns can be
            realized
          . Increasing our support for aftermarkets through the expansion and
            realignment of our distribution system
          . Seeking acquisition opportunities that are complementary to our
            present businesses
          . Continuing to enhance and standardize existing products while
            developing new products for specific markets
          . Continuing to reduce costs through quality improvement, operational
            consolidation and by timely response to changing markets

          Our reputation for industry-leading quality in all our products is the
base for our plans to enter additional global markets.  Our strong financial
position provides us with the means to pursue expansion, improvement and
acquisition.  We feel that we are positioned for further improvement in our
financial results.

 
Sincerely,

/s/ Douglas V. Smith

POWER TRANSMISSION

As a leading manufacturer of power transmission equipment, Lufkin's products are
used in a variety of industrial applications worldwide.  The Company's
precision-made gears range in weights from 300 pounds to 250 tons, in power
levels from 20 to 85,000 horsepower and in size up to 16 feet in diameter.
Lufkin's power transmission products are primarily parallel shaft, enclosed gear
drives and cover all performance requirements.

          In 1995, Lufkin continued to focus on expanding the markets for our
power transmission products.  The Company participated in several new markets
both domestically and abroad.  Lufkin products are gaining market share
internationally as our reputation for quality and superior performance
characteristics becomes better known.  Lufkin's ability to provide global
support for customers with high value-added products--both with new equipment as
well as in the aftermarket--is a key factor in expanding Lufkin's markets for
power transmission equipment.

          During 1995 demand for Lufkin gears was very strong.  Gears for power
generation equipment showed increased demand, particularly in China and
Southeast Asia, as demand for electric power in these markets continues to grow.
In the petro-chemical processing industry, Lufkin's gears continue to experience
increased use as this industry benefits from lower cost of feed stock supply.
In the cement and mining industries, demand for Lufkin's low-speed units grew as
a result of the increased level of activity associated with general economic
growth.

          Demand for gears in 1995 was also strong in the steel and rubber
industries.  As production of automobiles and industrial products increased in
the U.S. and Europe, the demand for Lufkin's products has also increased.  The
sugar refining industry continues to expand its use of Lufkin's gears as it
modernizes operations to meet the demand for sugar in the developing countries
of the world.

          Our operational initiatives aimed at enhancing quality and reducing
costs have yielded positive results. The Company maintains a strong commitment
to ongoing investments in technology, training, and manpower utilization.  These
factors and our diversified applications experience should allow Lufkin to
continue its role as an industry leader.

OIL FIELD

          Over 580,000 oil wells were in operation worldwide at year-end.
Approximately 96% of these wells require some form of artificial lift, and many
need the type of beam-pumping unit Lufkin manufactures. Nevertheless, the
domestic market for pumping units showed little growth in 1995 and remains at
the lowest point of the past 50 years. We observe that drilling rig counts are
down and large oil companies are focused on cost containment.

          As a result, Lufkin has focused its efforts on further developing its
international markets.  We believe the markets with potential are in South
America where privatization of state-owned oil industries is taking place; in
Canada, where there have been government incentives to drill for natural gas and
oil; and in forming alliances with oil companies to assist developing countries
establish their oil production industries.   In our view, the outlook for growth
in the international markets remains promising.

          Much of Lufkin's increase in revenue during 1995 came from the sale of
pre-owned pumping units and increases in the aftermarket segments.  The
Company's well-established position in the major oil producing areas of the
world continues to enable the Company to maintain its presence in all major
markets.  Our ongoing design and manufacturing improvements have enabled Lufkin
to remain cost competitive.

          The Company's pumping units are extremely adaptable to meet customers'
various production demands, and our local manufacturing in five plants of our
international markets provides Lufkin with the ability to meet specific country
content requirements.  Our ability to deliver quality products, the availability
of on-site installation with necessary technical support, and our capability to
respond to customers' needs in a timely fashion provides Lufkin with a distinct
competitive advantage.

          The worldwide supply and demand factors for oil are being brought into
closer alignment, as there is less surplus of oil and demand continues to grow.
As a major supplier of pumping units worldwide, Lufkin is ready to meet the
needs as the oil market improves.

TRAILERS

          Lufkin's Trailer Division had a very strong year in 1995 with sales
and production at record levels.  These results were on top of the strong
performance reported in 1994.  Historically, the market for trailers has been
cyclical and is sensitive to not only general economic conditions, but to those
specific factors that are

                                                                               3

 
characteristic of the transportation industry.  In 1995, Lufkin began to
position itself for the anticipated down turn in the market by bringing its
workforce in line with anticipated demand levels for 1996.  These actions have
strengthened the division's overall competitive position.

          As a diversified manufacturer, Lufkin produces many different sizes
and styles of vans, platforms, and high capacity, light-weight dump trailers.
The Company's trailers are known for their quality construction, reliability,
innovation of design, and competitive price, all of which are important to
Lufkin's diverse customer base.

          During 1995, Lufkin introduced a new trailer product, our Lufkin plate
trailer.  The plate trailer has enhanced our line of freight vans, and increased
production is scheduled for 1996.  The combination of an aluminum and steel
platform trailer which we introduced in 1994 continued to be well received and
to gain market acceptance.

          The outlook for Lufkin trailers in 1996 is anticipated to be a good
year by historical standards although down from our 1995 record levels.  New
manufacturing capacity established during recent years will enable Lufkin to
meet our customers' needs.  We believe the long term trends will be impacted by
companies choosing to outsource their transportation needs, more trailers being
used as warehouses for short-term storage, and a general aging of trailer fleets
as many trailers are operating well beyond their normal replacement cycles.
These conditions all bode well for the Trailer Division's future.

FOUNDRY CASTINGS

          Lufkin's foundry operations experienced strong demand for commercial
castings during 1995.  Growth in sales of foundry castings resulted from the
strength of the domestic economy coupled with some industry capacity
limitations.  Our foundry operated at near capacity levels during the past year
and set a new cupola tonnage record of over 67,000 charged tons.

          Lufkin's casting capabilities include low to medium volume ductile and
gray iron castings which are used as components for numerous original equipment
manufacturers (OEM).  In our foundry, over 300 tons of iron is poured each
production day for castings ranging in size from 100 pounds to over 30,000
pounds.

          The Company's sales and marketing efforts are directed to manage a
diversified customer base which is mainly focused on heavy equipment
manufacturing.  These customers include such industrial sectors as construction
equipment, material handling equipment, machine tools, valve and water works,
pump and compressor, as well as heavy truck producers.  Lufkin's castings can
become critical components in such diverse areas as municipal water systems,
U.S. Naval surface ships or submarines, gas-powered turbines, or large
horizontal CNC machining centers.

          During the coming year, Lufkin's efforts will continue to focus on
adding more technically demanding engineered castings, which will provide more
value-added opportunities.  These additional efforts will be achieved while also
maintaining the Foundry's position as an important supplier to Lufkin's Power
Transmission and Oil Field product groups.

                    Lufkin Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Net sales for 1995 were $248.9 million compared to $217.3 million and $202.2
million for 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Company reported net operating
income of $10.5 million for 1995.  In 1994 and 1993, the Company had an
operating loss of $3.1 million and operating income of $1.7 million,
respectively.  For 1995, the Company reported net income of $8.9 million,
compared to a net loss of $1.2 million and net income of $2.5 million for 1994
and 1993, respectively.  The 1994 results included an $11.2 million pre-tax
charge for special inventory write-downs.

   During 1995, the Company experienced revenue growth in all of its product
groups.  The annual percentage increase (decrease) in revenues for the Company's
product groups for the three years ended December 31, 1995 were as follows:

          The Company experienced a 13% increase in its 1995 oil field revenues
compared to 1994.  Oil field revenues in 1995 were $46.4 million compared to
$40.9 million and $58.6 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  During 1995,
the Company booked new orders of $47.3 million compared to $42.9 million in
1994.  At December 31, 1995, the backlog for oil field products was $8.1 million
compared to $8.5 million at the end of 1994.

          Power transmission sales for 1995 increased 9% to $60.1 million.
Sales for 1994 and 1993 were $55.3 million and $47.6 million, respectively.
Power transmission bookings for 1995 were $75.5 million and the year end backlog
was $36.0 million, compared to 1994 bookings of $54.0 million and a year end
backlog of $21.1 million.  The strong performance in power transmission bookings
and revenues reflects the realization of expanded international sales efforts
and continued growth of the Company's gear repair operations.

          Sales of foundry castings increased 5% in 1995 to $31.8 million from
$30.2 million in 1994.  Foundry castings sales were  $24.2 million in 1993.  New
order bookings totaled $34.0 million in 1995 compared to $30.3 million in 1994.
The Company's foundry castings backlog at year end was $15.8 million compared to
$4.2 million in 1994.  During 1995, the Company continued to expand on its
program to improve its product mix towards higher margin custom engineered
castings as well as maintain its strong position in the forklift counterweight
market.

          Trailer product sales of $110.5 million were up 26% over 1994 sales
primarily due to the increase in sales volume.  Trailer sales were $87.8 million
and $64.2 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Company booked new
orders totaling $79.0 million in 1995 compared to $112.4 million in 1994.  At
December 31, 1995 the trailer backlog was $40.2 million compared to $75.6
million at December 31, 1994.   Due to the cyclical natrue of the trailer
business, backlogs at December 31, 1995 decreased from backlog levels at
December 31, 1994.  Because of these cyclical market factors, management
believes that trailer sales will likely decrease in the year ending December 31,
1996 as compared to 1995.

          Gross profit margins before special inventory write-downs have
remained steady at 13% for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
The 1995 sales mix reflected an increase in trailer sales, which tend to be a
lower margin product, as compared to 1994 and 1993.  Gross margins, as a percent
of revenues, did not follow this movement due primarily to improvements in power
transmission margins and product mix and the continued emphasis of the Company's
cost awareness and cost reduction programs.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                    Lufkin Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

          The Company's Selling, General and Administrative (S.G. & A.) expenses
were $22.2 million in 1995 compared to $20.7 million and $24.7 million in 1994
and 1993, respectively.  The increase in 1995 S. G. & A. expenses reflected
primarily the expansion of the Company's selling efforts and market presence in
key markets in western Europe and Singapore.  In addition, foundry castings
selling expenses increased with efforts to change the product mix from high
volume/lower margin counterweights to higher margin custom engineered castings.

          Net operating income for 1995 was $10.5 million compared to a loss of
$3.1 million for 1994 and net operating income of $1.7 million for 1993.  The
Trailer Division's net operating income as a percentage of sales was 7% for both
1995 and 1994, up from 3% for 1993.  This change reflects the increase in
trailer sales volumes as well as the Company's emphasis on cost containment,
particularly in the area of fixed costs.  The Machinery Division's net operating
income as a percentage of sales before special inventory write-downs was 2% for
1995 compared to 1% in 1994 and less than 1% in 1993.  The increase in net
operating income as a percentage of sales for 1995 compared to 1994 was due
primarily to increased sales volumes and improved product mix, partially offset
by increases in S. G. & A. expenses.

          Other income decreased to $.5 million in 1995 from $1.6 million in
1994.  Other income for 1994 reflected a $1.4 million gain on the sale of the
Company's Churchill manufacturing facility and related equipment in Chanute,
Kansas.  In 1993, other income was $.3 million.  The Company's investment income
for 1995 increased to $3.1 million from $1.3 million in 1994 and $2.6 million in
1993. The 1995 increase was due primarily to favorable investment market
conditions resulting in increased interest income and capital gains earned on
investments.

          For 1995, net income was reduced by approximately $1.0 million ($.15
per share) as a result of using the LIFO method as compared to using the FIFO
method of accounting for certain inventories.  During 1994, LIFO inventories
were reduced and these reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory
quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years.  The impact of
these LIFO inventory liquidations reduced the net loss in 1994 by approximately
$3.6 million ($.53 per share).  In 1993, net income was increased by
approximately $.5 million ($.07 per share) as a result of using the LIFO method.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          At December 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $74.9 million
compared to $70.8 million in 1994 and $71.6 million in 1993.  The Company
generated $7.4 million net cash from operating activities in 1995.  The net cash
provided from operating activities in 1994 and 1993 was $20.7 million and $21.1
million, respectively.
Accounts receivable rose 28% to $36.2 million at the end of 1995 compared to
$28.3 million at the end of 1994.  The increase in receivables was due primarily
to strong sales volumes experienced in the latter half of the fourth quarter of
1995.  Depreciation expense declined to $7.1 million in 1995 from $7.9 million
in 1994 and $9.9 million in 1993. The decrease in depreciation expense is due
primarily to the Company's 1994 sales of its Machinery Division's Churchill
manufacturing facility in Chanute, Kansas and its Industrial Supplies unit, as
well as the result of assets becoming fully depreciated.  Dividends of $.60 per
share (totaling $4.1 million) were paid in 1995, 1994 and 1993.  The Company
believes that existing working capital will be sufficient to satisfy its 1996
requirements.  In recent years, capital expenditures have been financed with
internally generated funds, and the Company plans to finance future improvements
of its facilities in this manner.  No significant commitments were outstanding
at December 31, 1995.

(1) SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Lufkin Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) after
elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

  USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of certain
estimates by management in determining the Company's assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses.

  TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES.  Assets and liabilities of foreign
operations are translated into U. S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at
the end of each accounting period and income statement accounts are translated
at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period.

  TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS:  The Company's temporary investments consisting of
highly liquid government and corporate debt securities have been classified as
trading securities which are carried at market value.  All realized and
unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in investment income.

  RECEIVABLES:  The following is a summary of the Company's receivable balances:

  INVENTORIES:  The Company reports its inventories by using the last-in, first-
out (LIFO) and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods less reserves necessary to
report inventories at the lower of cost or estimated market.  Inventory costs
include material, labor and factory overhead.

  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:  The Company records investments in these
assets at cost.  Improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance
costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Gains or losses realized on the
sale or retirement of these assets are reflected in income.  Depreciation for
financial reporting purposes is provided on a straight-line method based upon
the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Accelerated depreciation methods are
used for tax purposes.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs were
$10,902,000 in 1995, $8,924,000 in 1994 and $8,240,000 in 1993.

  EARNINGS PER SHARE:  Earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of shares used to
compute earnings per share was 6,823,776 shares, 6,792,381 shares and 6,801,131
shares for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(2) INCOME TAXES

  The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or
liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement
and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.  The net
deferred income tax liability is comprised of the following:

  Cash payments for income taxes were $2,292,000, $235,000, and $801,000 for
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  For income tax reporting purposes at December 31, 1995, the Company has
capital loss carry forwards of approximately $579,000 which expire in 1997 and
alternative minimum tax carry forwards of $2,307,000 which can be carried
forward indefinitely.

(3) INVENTORIES
  Inventories used in determining cost of sales were as follows:


  (Thousands of dollars)   1995     1994
- ------------------------------------------
                             
Finished goods            $ 6,845  $ 7,995
Work in process             6,050    4,911
Raw materials              11,842    9,013
- ------------------------------------------
Total                     $24,737  $21,919
- ------------------------------------------


  Inventories accounted for on a LIFO basis were $19,258,000 and $15,514,000 and
on a FIFO basis were $5,479,000 and $6,405,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Had the FIFO method been used in determining all inventory
values, inventories would have been $18,194,000 and $16,581,000 higher at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

          For 1995, net income was reduced by approximately $1,048,000 ($.15 per
share) as a result of using the LIFO method as compared to using the first-in,
first-out method of accounting for certain inventories.  During 1994, LIFO
inventories were reduced and these reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO
inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years.  The
impact of these LIFO inventory liquidations reduced the net loss in 1994 by
approximately $3,600,000 ($.53 per share).  In 1993, net income was increased by
approximately $450,000 ($.07 per share) as a result of using the LIFO method.

(4) EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 The Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to
key employees to purchase an aggregate of not more than 900,000 shares of the
Company's stock at fair market value on the date of grant.  One fourth of
granted options generally become exercisable after one year and each year
thereafter.   The options may not be exercised after ten years from the date of
grant. Outstanding options may be cancelled and reissued under terms specified
in the plan.

 The following table summarizes activity under the Company's stock option plans:


 
                                                1995    1994       1993

Options outstanding, end of year             447,965   355,465   260,715
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------


At December 31, 1995, there were 227,403 options exercisable at prices ranging
from $15.31 to $30.00 per share.

(5) CAPITAL STOCK

  In May 1987, the Board of Directors adopted a "Shareholder Rights Plan"
designed to protect against unsolicited attempts to acquire control of the
Company that the Board believes are not in the best interest of the
shareholders.  The Plan provides for the possible issuance of a dividend of one
common stock purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock.  Under
certain conditions, each right may be exercised to purchase one share of common
stock at an exercise price of $100, subject to adjustment.  Under certain
circumstances, the rights entitle holders to purchase the common stock of the
Company or an acquiring company having a value of twice the exercise price of
the rights.  The rights would become exercisable, or transferable apart from the
common stock, ten days after a person or group acquired 20% or more, or
announced or made a tender offer for 30% or more, of the outstanding common
stock.  Under certain circumstances, all rights owned by an acquiring person
would be null and void.  The rights expire on

(5) CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)

May 31, 1996, and may be redeemed by the Company at any time prior to the
occurrence of certain events at $.05 per right.
  The Company is authorized to issue 2.0 million shares of preferred stock, the
terms and conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors in creating any
particular series.

(6) RETIREMENT BENEFITS

  The Company has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all
employees.  The benefits provided by these plans are measured by length of
service, compensation and other factors, and are currently funded by trusts
established under the plans.  Funding of retirement costs for these plans
complies with the minimum funding requirements specified by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act.  Plan investment assets are invested primarily
in equity securities, United States government securities and cash equivalents.

  The following tables provide the detail of the components of pension income
and expense, the funded status of the plans and amounts of prepaid pension cost
recognized as an asset in the Company's consolidated balance sheet, and major
assumptions used to determine these amounts.

 The Company also has defined contribution retirement plans covering
substantially all of its employees.  During the year, the Company makes
contributions of 75% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 6% of employee
earnings.  All obligations of the Company are funded through December 31, 1995.
The Company's expense for these plans totaled $1,560,000, $1,444,000 and
$1,456,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

 The Company sponsors two defined benefit post retirement plans that cover both
salaried and hourly employees.  One plan provides medical benefits, and the
other plan provides life insurance benefits.  Both plans are contributory, with
retiree contributions adjusted periodically.  Under SFAS No. 106 "Employers'
Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other than Pensions", the Company
accrues the estimated costs of the plans over the employee's service periods.

                                                                              15

 The following table sets forth the plans' combined funded status reconciled
with the amount shown in the Company's balance sheet at December 31, 1995 and
1994:

  The Company's post retirement health care plan is unfunded and there are no
plan assets.  For measurement purposes, the submitted claims medical trend was
assumed to be 11% in 1995, 10% in 1996, and 9.25% in 1997.  Thereafter, the
Company's obligation is fixed at the amount of the Company's contribution for
1997.  A one percentage point increase in each year's healthcare costs trend
rate would increase the accumulated post retirement benefit obligations as of
December 31, 1995 by approximately $166,000 and the aggregate of the service and
interest costs components of net periodic post retirement cost for the year
ended December 31, 1995 by $24,000.  In determining the accumulated post
retirement obligation, weighted-average discount rates of 7.50% in 1995 and
8.25% in 1994 were used.

(7) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

  The Company manufactures, sells and services various types of oil field
pumping units, power transmission products, foundry castings and trailers.
Corporate expenses are allocated to industry segments primarily based upon
