                        Report of Independent Accountants




To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Terex Corporation and Affiliates'
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for Represented Employees


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for
Represented Employees (the "Plan") at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, 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 our opinion.

TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES'
401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

          The following description of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates'
          401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for Represented Employees (the "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 that covers certain
          eligible employees of Terex Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Terex"
          or the "Company") meeting minimum eligibility requirements. Certain
          officers of Terex serve as trustees of the Plan (the "Trustees"). The
          investments of the Plan are held by Fidelity Management Trust Company
          ("Fidelity").

          The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

          An Administrative Committee, consisting of at least three members
          appointed by the Company's Board of Directors, administers the benefit
          structure of the Plan. The Company is considered the Plan
          Administrator for purposes of ERISA.

          Participants of the Plan are the hourly-rate employees of the
          Company's PPM Cranes ("PPM") Unit, Unit Rig division ("Unit Rig"), the
          Terex Parts Distribution Center ("Southaven"), the American Crane
          Corporation ("American Crane"), Cedarapids, Inc. ("Cedarapids"), and
          the former Bowerston Division of Simon Access ("Bowerston"), which was
          closed subsequent to the acquisition of the business on April 7, 1997.
          Investments of the former Bowerston employees remain in the Plan,
          however, there are no additional employee or employer contributions
          being made. Terms for each subsidiary location are negotiated under
          separate collective bargaining agreements and differ with respect to
          participant contributions, employer contributions and loans to
          participants. The general provisions for each location are discussed
          below.

          Participant Eligibility- Employees at Unit Rig are eligible to
          participate in the Plan after they complete six months of service,
          employees at Southaven and PPM are eligible to participate after three
          months of service. Employees at American Crane and Cedarapids are
          eligible to participate in the Plan on the date on which they perform
          an hour of service as an employee.

          Participant Contributions - Participants at Unit Rig may contribute up
          to 20% of their compensation, participants at Southaven, PPM, American
          Crane and Cedarapids may contribute up to 16% of their compensation.
          Contributions may be in any combination of pre-tax or post-tax
          earnings. The maximum pre-tax contribution permitted under Internal
          Revenue Service regulations in 2000 was $10,500. There is no limit to
          post-tax contributions. Participants are able to direct current
          contributions and redistribute accumulated contributions and earnings
          between investment funds.

          Employer Contributions - The plan in effect at Unit Rig does not
          provide for Terex to match any portion of employee contributions to
          the Plan. The plan in effect at Southaven provides that Terex will
          match 50% of the first 6% of the employee's salary that is contributed
          to the plan. The plan in effect at PPM provides that Terex will match
          50% of the first 5% of the employee's salary that is contributed to
          the plan. The plan in effect at American Crane provides that Terex
          will match 50% of the employee's contribution, the company match shall
          not exceed $675 in any Plan Year. The plan in effect at Cedarapids
          provides that Terex will match 100% of the first 4% of the employee's
          salary that is contributed to the Plan. The terms of each division's
          collective bargaining agreement provides that the Company may make, in
          its sole discretion, supplementary contributions. All Company
          contributions are made in Terex Common Stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Vesting - All participants are immediately fully vested in their
          voluntary contributions plus any actual earnings thereon. Participants
          at Southaven, PPM, American Crane and Cedarapids vest in the employer
          matching contributions after one year of eligible service.
          Participants employed at Bowerston on April 7, 1997 are fully vested
          in employer contributions. Bowerston participants hired after April 7,
          1997 but prior to the closure of the facility vest in employer
          contributions after one year of eligible service. The vesting period
          for supplemental contributions is determined by the Company at the
          time of contribution.

          Forfeitures - Non-vested employer contributions of employees that have
          separated from the Company become forfeitures and are held in a
          separate account and shall be used to reduce future employer
          contributions. However, employees that return to service within five
          years from their separation date will be entitled to continue vesting
          on the employer contributions which were previously forfeited.

          Allocation of Earnings - Each participant's account is credited with
          contributions and an allocation of earnings from the respective
          investment funds. A participant's contributions are used to purchase
          shares in the various investment funds. The value of and the earnings
          credited to a participant's account are based on the proportionate
          number of shares owned by the participant and the fair value of the
          investment on the valuation date.

          Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement, disability, or death, the
          entire balance of the participant's account becomes payable to the
          participant or designated beneficiary. Upon any other termination of
          employment, the participant receives the vested portion of his/her
          account; however, if the vested portion of the participant's account
          is greater than $5,000 he/she can elect to keep the investments in the
          Plan. Withdrawals are also permitted for financial hardship, as
          defined by the Plan, or upon attainment of age 59-1/2.

          Participant Loans - Participants may obtain loans in an amount up to
          the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their account
          balance, subject to the discretion of the Plan Administrator and
          certain other restrictions. Terms of all loans are established by the
          Plan Administrator.

          Change in Investment Manager - On February 1, 2000, the Plan changed
          the investment manager of the Plan to Fidelity from Massachusetts
          Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual").

2.        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been
          prepared on the accrual basis.

          Investments - Plan investments are stated at fair value based on
          published market prices or other independent sources. Net appreciation
          (depreciation) in aggregate fair value of investments is comprised of
          all realized and unrealized gains and losses during the year.

          Expenses - Fees and expenses related to administering the Plan are
          generally paid by Terex.

          Withdrawals - Withdrawals are recognized at the time of distribution
          to the participant.

          Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
          conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
          management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
          and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
          reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.       INVESTMENT IN MASTER TRUST

          Beginning February 1, 2000, the Plan's assets are held in a trust
          account at Fidelity and consist of an interest in the Terex
          Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust (the "Master
          Trust"). The Master Trust was established to permit the commingling of
          the trust assets for similar employee benefit plans sponsored by the
          Company. The Plan has an approximate 10.6% interest in the net assets
          available for plan benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2000.

          Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by Fidelity to
          each participant account balance. Net earnings include interest
          income, dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of
          investments. Contributions, benefit payments and expenses are made on
          a specific identification basis.

          The following table presents the fair values of investments for the
          Master Trust at December 31, 2000:

          31, 2000 was $8,309,783. The contract value represents contributions
          made under contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and
          administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the
          withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of the investment at
          contract value. The guaranteed annual interest rate is 6 percent.

5.       NON PARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

          The Company's contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Terex
          Corporation Common Stock. Fidelity holds all Terex common stock in one
          investment account and does not segregate employer and employee
          purchased common stock activity. As a result, all Plan investments in
          Terex common stock are considered nonparticipant-directed. Information
          about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in
          net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments is as
          follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

6.       PARTY-IN-INTEREST

          Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by
          Fidelity. Fidelity also serves as a custodian and, therefore, these
          transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by
          the Plan for the investment management services amounts to $4,813 for
          the year ended December 31, 2000.


7.       INCOME TAX STATUS

          The Plan received a determination letter, dated July 31, 1996, that it
          met the qualification requirements of Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of
          the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and is, therefore exempt from
          federal income taxation. Subsequently, the Plan has been amended. The
          Plan Administrator believes that the Plan, as amended, continues to be
          qualified and exempt from tax under Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of the
          IRC.


8.       TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

          The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption
          but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event that such
          discontinuance results in the complete or partial termination of the
          Plan, the balance in each participant's account will be distributed
          by the Trustees.
