Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        (a)     On August 1, 2003, JLG Industries, Inc. (the "Company")
                completed its previously announced acquisition of the OmniQuip
                business unit ("OmniQuip") of Textron Inc. through an
                acquisition of assets from Trak International, Inc., including
                all operations relating to the Sky Trak and Lull brand
                telehandler products. The purchase price for the acquisition was
                $100 million, with $90 million paid in cash at closing and $10
                million paid in the form of an unsecured subordinated promissory
                note due on the second anniversary of the closing date. Sales
                for the purchased operations in calendar year 2002 totaled
                approximately $217 million. The acquisition was financed with
                proceeds from the sale of the Company's $125 million senior
                unsecured notes and a $10 million unsecured subordinated
                promissory note in favor of Trak International, Inc. and due on
                the second anniversary of the closing date.

        (b)     QmniQuip manufactures and markets multi-brand telescopic
                material handlers and is North America's leading producer of
                telescopic material handlers used in numerous applications by
                commercial and residential building contractors, as well as by
                customers in other construction, military and agricultural
                markets. OmniQuip is also a key supplier of telescopic material
                handlers to the U.S Army.

Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

        On July 8, 2003, the Company entered into amendments to its $150 million
        revolving credit facility to change the administrative agent bank from
        Wachovia to SunTrust Bank, to authorize the OmniQuip transaction and
        certain debt and liens that would be incurred thereby, to modify certain
        financial covenants to give it greater operating flexibility, and to
        change the termination date of the facility from June 18, 2004 to
