NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the company) without audit.
However, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of company
management, necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated
financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1996 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1997
presentation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is
suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the company's 1996 annual report to shareholders.

2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The average number
of shares outstanding was 8,415,102 and 8,839,727, respectively, for the
three month periods and 8,568,496 and 8,881,711, respectively, for the
nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 29, 1996. Stock options,
warrants and stock issuable under incentive compensation awards were not
dilutive in any of the periods presented.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

June 30, Sept. 30,
1997 1996
(In thousands)
Finished products $ 10,982 $ 15,208
Partially finished products 41,412 51,533
Raw materials 56,825 47,580
---------- --------
Inventories at FIFO cost 109,219 114,321
Less:
Progress payments on U.S.
Government contracts (228) --
Excess of FIFO cost over
LIFO cost (8,935) (8,032)
---------- ---------
$100,056 $106,289
========== =========


Title to all inventories related to government contracts which provide for
progress payments vests in the government to the extent of unliquidated
progress payments.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT

At June 30, 1997, $7.5 million of borrowings and $4.5 million of letters
of credit reduced available capacity under the company's revolving credit
facility to $38.0 million.

5. STOCK BUY BACK

In July 1995, the company's board of directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. There were no stock
repurchases under this program during the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
As of June 30, 1997 and July 31, 1997, the company has repurchased 461,535
shares under this program at a total cost of $6.6 million. The repurchase
of 350,000 shares of Class B common stock from Freightliner Corporation
(Freightliner) on May 2, 1997 (see Note 7) does not impact the number of
shares available for repurchase under this program.

6. CONTINGENCIES

The company is engaged in litigation against Super Steel Products Corp.
(SSPC), the company's former supplier of mixer systems for front discharge
concrete mixer trucks under a long-term supply contract. SSPC sued the
company in state court claiming the company breached the contract. The
company counterclaimed for repudiation of contract. On July 26, 1996, a
jury returned a verdict for SSPC awarding damages totaling approximately
$4.5 million. On October 10, 1996, the state court judge overturned the
verdict against the company, granted judgment for the company on its
counterclaim, and ordered a new trial for damages on the company's
counterclaim. Both SSPC and the company have appealed the state court
judge's decision. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the
case and both the company and SSPC have filed briefs in this matter.

The company and Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the company, are contingently liable under bid and
performance bonds totaling approximately $117 million at June 30, 1997.

7. FREIGHTLINER ALLIANCE

On May 2, 1997, the company and Freightliner formally terminated the
Strategic Alliance formed on June 2, 1995. The company repurchased from
Freightliner 350,000 shares of its Class B common stock and 1,250,000
warrants for the purchase of additional shares of Class B common stock for
the total sum of $6.8 million. The company and Freightliner will continue
to supply each other with parts and components.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter 1997 Compared to 1996

Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the company) reported net income of $2.8
million, or $0.33 per share, on sales of $176.6 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.52
per share, on sales of $112.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal
1996. The fiscal 1996 results were adversely affected by after-tax
charges of $6.1 million principally related to the write-off of its then
remaining investments in Mexico and production delays associated with a
defense subcontract to Steeltech Manufacturing, Inc. (Steeltech).

Sales of both commercial and defense products increased in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Commercial sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $51.7
million or 104.0% from the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $101.4 million
principally due to sales of fire trucks and other fire apparatus as a
result of the acquisition of Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce) on
September 18, 1996. Sales of construction, airport rescue and fire
fighting (ARFF), snow removal and refuse vehicles and commercial van
trailers decreased slightly during the third quarter. Sales of defense
products totaled $75.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997, an
increase of $12.9 million or 20.7% as compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The increase in defense sales principally resulted from the
sale of ISO-Compatible Palletized Flatracks (IPF) which are being produced
by Steeltech.

Gross income in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled $21.9 million or
12.4% of sales compared to $7.6 million or 6.8% of sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in gross income in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 was principally due to increased sales volumes as a result
of the acquisition of Pierce. Also, charges of $3.1 million resulting
from production delays associated with a defense subcontract to Steeltech
reduced gross income for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

Operating expenses totaled $15.1 million or 8.5% of sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $11.5 million or 10.2% of sales in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in operating expenses in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 relates principally to the operating expenses
of Pierce and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles associated
with the acquisition of Pierce. Also, operating expenses for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 include charges of $3.2 million associated with the
write-off of the company's then remaining investments in Mexico and
Steeltech.

Interest expense increased to $2.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 as a
result of the financing for the Pierce acquisition. Interest expense for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was also impacted by the reversal of
accrued interest related to prior years' provisions for income taxes.

The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 31.7% compared to 34.9% for the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. The effective income tax rate for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 was impacted by the reversal of $0.5 million of
prior years' provision for income taxes and non-deductible goodwill of
$0.6 million.

The $2.2 million after-tax loss from discontinued operations in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 resulted from the write-off of receivables of $2.6
million (pre-tax) related to the company's former Mexican bus chassis
business and from $1.0 million of pre-tax charges for additional warranty
and other product related liabilities with respect to the company's former
U.S. chassis business, both of which were sold in June 1995.

First Nine Months 1997 Compared to 1996

The company reported net income of $6.9 million, or $0.80 per share, on
sales of $497.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, compared
to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.09 per share, on sales of $295.5
million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The fiscal 1996 results
were adversely affected by after-tax charges of $6.1 million associated
with the company's investments in Mexican bus affiliates and a subcontract
to Steeltech.

Sales of both commercial and defense products increased in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Commercial sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased $172.3
million or 144.4% from the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to $291.6
million principally due to sales of fire trucks and other fire apparatus
as a result of the acquisition of Pierce. Sales of defense products
totaled $205.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997, an
increase of $29.6 million or 16.8% as compared to the first nine months of
fiscal 1996. The increase in defense sales principally resulted from the
sale of IPFs to the U.S. Government.

Gross income in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 totaled $64.3 million
or 12.9% of sales compared to $30.8 million or 10.4% of sales in the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. The increase in gross income in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 was principally due to increased sales volumes
as a result of the acquisition of Pierce. Charges of $3.1 million related
to a subcontract to Steeltech also adversely affected fiscal 1996 results.

Operating expenses totaled $43.7 million or 8.8% of sales in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $29.2 million or 9.9% of sales in
the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The increase in operating expenses
in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 relates principally to the
operating expenses of Pierce and amortization of goodwill and other
intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Pierce. The 1996
operating expenses included charges of $3.2 million associated with the
company's investments in Mexican bus affiliates and Steeltech.

Interest expense increased to $9.6 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 compared to $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal
1996 as a result of the financing for the Pierce acquisition.

The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was 40.0% compared to 39.0% for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The effective income tax rate for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was adversely affected by non-
deductible goodwill of $1.9 million offset by a reversal of $0.5 million
of prior years' provision for income taxes.

The $2.2 million after-tax loss from discontinued operations in the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 resulted from the additional charges related to
the company's former U.S. and Mexican chassis businesses which were sold
in June 1995.

Financial Condition

First Nine Months 1997

During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, cash increased $1.1 million.
Cash provided from operations of $31.8 million was used to fund the
repayment of long-term debt of $15.4 million, the repurchase of common
stock and warrants from Freightliner Corporation (Freightliner) of $6.8
million (see below), capital additions of $4.6 million, and dividends of
$3.2 million.

First Nine Months 1996

During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, cash decreased $11.3 million.
Cash was required for operations of $2.3 million, for the acquisition of
Friesz Manufacturing Company of $3.9 million, for capital additions of
$4.1 million, for stock repurchases of $3.3 million and for dividends of
$3.3 million. Discontinued operations and proceeds from the sale of
property, plant and equipment provided cash of $4.7 million and $2.1
million, respectively, for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The company's principal uses of cash for the next several years will be
interest and principal payments on long-term debt, capital expenditures
and potential acquisitions.

At June 30, 1997, $7.5 million of borrowings and $4.5 million of letters
of credit reduced available capacity under the company's revolving credit
facility to $38.0 million.

The company believes its internally generated cash flow, supplemented by
progress payments when applicable, and borrowings available under the
existing bank credit agreement will be adequate to meet working capital
and other operating and capital requirements of the company in the
foreseeable future.

Backlog

The company's backlog as of June 30, 1997 was $401 million, compared to
$301 million at June 29, 1996. The backlog at June 30, 1997 includes $228
million with respect to U.S. Government contracts, $133 million related to
Pierce, and the remainder relates to other commercial products. Virtually
all the company's revenues are derived from customer orders prior to
commencing production.

Stock Buy Back

In July 1995, the company's board of directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. There were no stock
repurchases under this program in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.
As of June 30, 1997 and July 31, 1997, the company has repurchased 461,535
shares under this program at a total cost of $6.6 million. The repurchase
of 350,000 shares of Class B common stock from Freightliner on May 2, 1997
(see below) does not impact the number of shares available for repurchase
under this program.

Freightliner Alliance

On May 2, 1997, the company and Freightliner formally terminated the
Strategic Alliance formed on June 2, 1995. The company repurchased from
Freightliner 350,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,250,000 warrants
for the purchase of additional shares of Class B common stock for the
total sum of $6.8 million. The company and Freightliner will continue to
supply each other with parts and components.

New Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted
effective for both interim and annual financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. Among other provisions, the dilutive
effect of stock options must be excluded under the new requirements for
calculating basic earnings per share, which will replace primary earnings
per share. This change is not expected to materially impact the company's
fully diluted earnings per share calculations.
