Item 5.  Other Events.

     Terex  Corporation  ("Terex" or "the  Company")  announced by press release
dated March 23, 2001 that it intends to issue  $300,000,000  principal amount of
Senior  Subordinated  Notes Due 2011 ("Notes").  The Notes will be issued at par
with a coupon of 10.375%.  The size of the  offering of the Notes was  increased
from a previously announced amount of $200 million. Terex intends to use the net
proceeds from the offering of the Notes to prepay a portion of its existing term
loans and for general corporate purposes.

     The Company  also  reaffirmed  its plans to increase its  revolving  credit
facilities  maturing  March 2004 from $125 million to $300 million,  in order to
provide the Company with greater operating flexibility.

     The Company is offering the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A  promulgated  under
the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Act"),  and the Notes will not
initially be registered under the Act.  Accordingly,  the Notes will not be able
to be offered or sold in the United States absent  registration under the Act or
an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.


                                   SIGNATURES

     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.

Date:  March 23, 2001

                                           TEREX CORPORATION
