Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     As previously  reported on a Current  Report on Form 8-K filed February 18,
2004, Terex  Corporation (the "Company")  issued a press release on February 18,
2004 releasing and reviewing the Company's financial results for its fiscal year
ended December 31, 2003. The press release included as Exhibit 99.1 to that Form
8-K differed  from the press  release  actually  issued by the  Company,  as the
Exhibit contained  incorrect  information in footnote 2 to the financial summary
for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

     Accordingly, the Company attaches the correct copy of its press release, as
actually issued by the Company, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

          (c)  Exhibits

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
