</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As Corporate Secretary and Assistant General Counsel of The Timken Company, an Ohio
corporation (the &#147;Registrant&#148;), I have acted as counsel for the Registrant in connection with the
filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) to register under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), an additional 5,000 shares (the &#147;Shares&#148;) of the
Registrant&#146;s common stock, without par value, to be issued or transferred and sold under the OH&#038;R
Investment Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;). I have examined such documents, records and matters of law as I have
deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the
qualifications and limitations stated herein, I am of the opinion that the Shares are duly
authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Plan, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable; provided that the Registrant at such time has sufficient
authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining under its Amended Articles of
Incorporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My examination of matters of law in connection with the opinions expressed herein has been
limited to, and accordingly my opinions herein are limited to, the Ohio General Corporation Law,
including the applicable provisions of the Ohio Constitution and the reported judicial decisions
interpreting such law. I express no opinion with respect to any other law of the State of Ohio or
any other jurisdiction. In addition, I have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Registrant
to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to the Plan will be in full force and effect at all times at
which such Shares are issued or sold by the Registrant, and the Registrant will take no action
inconsistent with such resolutions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit&nbsp;5 to the Registration Statement. In
giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am included in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section&nbsp;7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder.
