Item 5.  Other Events.

     Terex  Corporation  (the "Company" or "Terex") issued a press release dated
November 10, 2003 announcing that it has priced $300 million principal amount of
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Notes").  The Notes will be issued with
a coupon  of 7.375%  and will  have a yield to  maturity  of 7.5%.  The  Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to prepay the  remaining  $200
million in principal amount outstanding of its 8.875% Senior  Subordinated Notes
due 2008 (the "8.875%  Notes") and to prepay  approximately  $100 million of its
existing  bank term  loans.  Terex  also  intends to prepay an  additional  $100
million of its existing  bank term loans with cash on hand.  In  addition,  $200
million in  principal  amount of the Notes  will be  swapped to a floating  rate
similar  to  that  paid  by  Terex  under  its  existing  credit  facility.  The
transactions  are  expected  to close  during  the fourth  quarter of 2003.  The
Company will take a pre-tax charge of  approximately  $5.5 million in the fourth
quarter due to the early retirement of existing debt.

     In  connection  with the  offering of the Notes,  the Company is seeking to
amend its  existing  bank credit  facility to,  among other  things,  permit the
redemption of the 8.875% Notes with proceeds from the Note  offering,  allow for
the repurchase of the Company's 10.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 on or
after April 1, 2006, and modify certain financial  covenants for the second half
of 2004 and 2005. The closing of the Note offering is conditioned  upon approval
of the amendment to the bank credit facility.

     A copy of this press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

                     TEREX CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRICING OF
                    $300 MILLION OF SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES


         WESTPORT, CT, November 10, 2003 - Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today
announced that it priced $300,000,000 principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2014. The notes will be issued with a coupon of 7.375% and will have a
yield to maturity of 7.5%. Terex intends to use the net proceeds from the
offering to prepay the remaining $200,000,000 in principal amount outstanding of
its 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 and to prepay approximately
$100,000,000 of its existing bank term loans. Terex also intends to prepay an
additional $100,000,000 of its existing bank term loans with cash on hand. The
result of these transactions will be to reduce total debt by $100,000,000. In
addition, $200,000,000 in principal amount of the Notes will be swapped to a
floating rate similar to that paid by Terex under its existing credit facility.
The transactions are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2003. Terex
will take a pre-tax charge of approximately $5,500,000 in the fourth quarter due
to the early retirement of existing debt.

         In connection with the offering of the new Notes, Terex is seeking to
amend its existing bank credit facility. The closing of the Notes offering is
conditioned upon Terex gaining approval of the amendment to its bank credit
facility. Terex expects that the amendment will, among other things, permit the
redemption of the 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 with proceeds from
this offering, allow for the repurchase of Terex's 10.375% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2011 on or after April 1, 2006, and modify certain financial covenants
for the second half of 2004 and 2005.

         It is intended that Terex Corporation will offer these Senior
Subordinated Notes pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), and that they will not initially be registered
under the Act. Accordingly, these Senior Subordinated 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. This press release does
not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any
securities of Terex Corporation.
