REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statements of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits of the Parker Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
Parker Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules
listed in the accompanying index are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION
The investments in Parker-Hannifin Corporation (the Company) common
shares, non-convertible corporate bonds, U.S. Government bonds, Key
Trust Employee Benefits Value Equity Fund, Key Trust Employee Benefits
Fixed Income Fund, AIM Constellation Fund, Capital Guardian
International Equity Fund and the Seven Seas S&P 500 Index Fund are
valued as of the last reported trade price on the last business day of
the period. The Parker Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) presents in
the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits the
net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments
which consists of the realized gains or losses from the sale of
investments and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments held by the Plan.
Investments in the Key Trust Employee Benefits Money Market Fund are
valued at market, which approximates cost. Refer to Note 5 for
information relating to the Contract Income Fund.
Management believes that the Plan's investments are well diversified
and do not create a significant concentration of credit risk.
Participants assume all risk in connection with any decrease in the
market price of any securities in all the Funds. Although the annual
rates of return with respect to the contracts held in the Contract
Income Fund are guaranteed by major insurance and bank companies, the
Company does not make any representations as to the financial
capability of such companies or their ability to make payments under
the contracts.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions from employees and the Company are recorded in the
period that payroll deductions are made from Plan participants.
Company contributions are invested solely in the ESOP Fund, which
holds Company stock and some cash.
PLAN CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1996, certain changes were made to the Plan.
Several of these changes are as follows:
* Plan is now valued daily
* Participants may change contribution percentages and future
investment elections upon request
* Funds may be reallocated upon request
* An interactive voice response system has been implemented
* Investment elections may be allocated in whole percentage
increments (limited to 50% in the Stock Fund)
* Three new funds have been added (Small Capitalization,
International, and S&P 500 Index Funds)
* The maximum before-tax contribution has been increased from 10% to 15%
* Eligibility begins 3 months after date of hire
* Diversification of ESOP shares is allowed anytime during the year
(subject to age and service requirements)
* After-tax withdrawal is available upon request
* Participant is allowed two loans at a time
* Lump sum contributions have been eliminated
* The after-tax match on the first 3% of after-tax contributions has
been eliminated and the Company now matches only the 4% and 5% at 25%
* Plan name has been changed to the Parker Retirement Savings Plan
For a more complete explanation of the Plan, participants should refer
to the summary plan description.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
OTHER
The prior year Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits has
been restated to reclassify certain items to conform to the current
year's presentation.
Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest and
other income are recorded as earned on the accrual basis.
Costs incident to the purchase and sale of securities, such as
brokerage commissions and stock transfer taxes, as well as investment
advisory fees, are charged to the Funds to which they relate and
netted against interest income. All other costs and expenses incurred
in administering the Plan, including fees of the Trustee, are paid out
of the Plan's assets, unless the Company elects to pay such costs.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Participants should refer to the summary plan description or the plan
agreement for more complete information.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS
A participant may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, not
less than 1% nor more than 15% of his total compensation for a Plan
year and may change such percentage upon request. The amount which a
highly compensated employee may contribute may be limited in order to
comply with Internal Revenue Code sections 401(k) and 401(m). A
participant may suspend his contributions at any time. Upon
enrollment or re-enrollment, each participant stipulates his
contributions to be invested in accordance with the following
investment options:
(a) Company Stock Fund - Invested primarily in Common Shares of the
Company purchased on the open market. A participant's contribution is
limited to 50% invested in this fund.
(b) Fixed Income Fund - Invested primarily in securities which have a
fixed rate of return such as government and high-quality corporate
bills, notes, bonds, and other similar investments of issuers other
than the Company.
(c) Equity Fund - Invested primarily in common stock of high-quality
medium and large capitalization companies other than the Company.
(d) Contract Income Fund - Invested primarily in high-quality fixed
income investments such as contracts issued by insurance companies and
banks which provide a return guaranteed by the issuer, and debt
securities such as notes and bonds issued by Federal agencies or
mortgage backed securities, with each of these investments typically
providing a stable rate of return for a specific period of time.
Refer to Note 5 for a further description of assets.
(e) Balanced Fund - Invested primarily in bonds, convertible
securities, money market investments, and common stocks of high-
quality medium and large capitalization companies other than the
Company.
(f) Small Capitalization Fund - Invested primarily in equity
securities of small companies that have demonstrated or have the
potential for above-average capital growth.
(g) International Fund - Invested primarily in common stocks,
preferred stocks, warrants and rights to subscribe to common stocks on
non-U.S. issuers.
(h) S&P 500 Index Fund - Invested in stocks which comprise the S&P
500 Index, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

2. CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS, continued
PARTICIPANT LUMP-SUM CONTRIBUTIONS
Through December 31, 1995 a participant could elect to make an annual
voluntary lump-sum contribution, providing he was actively contributing
to the Plan. The amount of any lump-sum contribution, when added to a
participant's payroll deduction contributions during the plan year,
could not exceed an amount equal to 15% of his total compensation for
the year. The highly compensated employees may have been prohibited
from making such contributions. A participant's voluntary lump-sum
contribution could be invested in the same manner as payroll deduction
contributions except that up to 100% of such contribution could be
invested in the Company Stock Fund. The right to make a voluntary
lump sum contribution was eliminated beginning with the 1996 Plan
year.
TRANSFER OF PROFIT-SHARING ACCOUNT BALANCES
A participant who has an account attributable to the old Profit-
Sharing Plan (replaced by the Retirement Plan) may make an irrevocable
election to have his entire account balance transferred to the Plan.
The account balance may be transferred upon request.
TRANSFERS FROM OTHER PLANS
As a result of an acquisition in 1996, $1,945,530 was transferred into
the Plan from the account balances of the Symmetrics Savings Plan.
TRANSFERS AMONG SAVINGS PLAN FUNDS
A participant may elect to reallocate at any time his account balances
attributable to his contributions invested in any Fund (other than the
ESOP Fund) to one or more of the other Funds.
A participant age 55 or older, with 10 or more years of participation
in the Plan, may transfer a portion of the shares of stock in the ESOP
Fund to any of the investment funds within the Plan. Such transfer
may be made anytime during the year.
PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION CONTRIBUTIONS
The Company makes matching contributions based on the first 5% of a
participant's deferred compensation (before-tax) contributions. The
Company contributes an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of the
monthly before-tax contributions and an amount equal to 25% of the 4%
and 5% of the contribution. Effective in 1996, the Company eliminated
the match on the first 3% of after-tax contribution and will match only
the 4% and 5% at 25%. Company contributions will match the before-tax
contributions prior to the after-tax contributions. Company contributions
are invested solely in the ESOP Fund.
PARTICIPANT LOANS
The Plan has a loan provision which allows an active participant to
borrow a minimum of $500 and up to a maximum of a) 50% of his account
balance or b) $50,000 minus the largest outstanding loan balance he
had in the last 12 months, whichever is less. The loan must be
repaid, with interest equal to the prime rate at the time the loan is
entered into plus 1%, over a period from 1 year to 4 1/2 years for a
general purpose loan and up to ten years for a residential loan.

3. ESOP FUND NOTES PAYABLE
During May and June of 1989, the ESOP Fund borrowed $70 million to
purchase 3.75 million shares of the Company's common stock on the open
market. The loan was guaranteed by the Company. Commencing July 1, 1989
and continuing over the period of the loan, the shares purchased by the
ESOP Fund were allocated to participants making contributions to the Plan
(see Note 2). The ESOP Fund used Company contributions and cash dividends
received on unallocated shares to repay the loan plus interest (8.41% per
annum for 1996 and 1995). Graduated principal payments and related
interest were due semiannually, commencing December 31, 1989 and ending on
June 30, 1996.

5. CONTRACT INCOME FUND
Reported in the aggregate for the Contract Income Fund at December 31:
1996 1995
_____________ _____________
Contract Value of Assets $ 155,753,873 $ 169,961,276
Fair Value of Assets $ 155,405,312 $ 172,323,519
Average Yield of Assets 6.58% 6.35%
Return on assets for the 12 months
ended December 31 6.37% 6.44%
Duration 2.13 years 2.38 years
The above information is provided in compliance with the AICPA
Statement of Position 94-4 (SOP 94-4). SOP 94-4 requires that fair
value be based upon the standard discounted cash flow methodology as
referred to in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107. To arrive at the above aggregate fair value, comparable duration
Wall Street Journal Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) Index rates
were used as the discount factor within the discounted cash flow
formula. A standard present value calculation has been employed to
arrive at a current value for each cash flow within a contract. The
sum of the present values for each contract's cash flows is the
estimated total fair value for that contract. All of the contract
fair values are then added together to arrive at the above aggregate
fair value for the portfolio.
The Contract Income Fund contains a managed synthetic GIC. This is a
portfolio of securities owned by the Fund with a benefit-responsive,
book-value "wrap" contract associated with the portfolio. The wrap
contract assures that book-value, benefit-responsive payments can be
made for participant withdrawals. The managed synthetic GIC included
in the above amounts at December 31, 1996 and 1995 had a contract
value of $45,207,576 and $44,176,639, while the fair value was
$44,960,145 and $44,678,558, respectively. The crediting rate on the
managed synthetic GIC resets at least quarterly and will have an
interest rate of no less than 0%.
At December 31, 1995 the Contract Income Fund contained non-benefit
responsive contracts. SOP 94-4 recommends that these contracts be
carried at a fair value. However, the Fund's non-benefit responsive
contracts were not a large enough representation of the portfolio
(1.6% at December 31, 1995) to result in a material impact on the
Contract Income Fund. Therefore, these contracts have been reported at
contract value in the financial statements.
It is important to note that, in the absence of an actively traded
market, discounted cash flows are only an estimate of the contract's
economic value. These values are not a useful value for participant
statement purposes nor are they representative of the value which may
be received from these contracts in either a participant disbursement
or an early termination of the contract.
6. VESTING, WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
A participant's interest in the Plan attributable to his own
contributions and Company contributions is fully vested at all times.
A participant may withdraw in cash a portion of his contributions,
subject to certain limitations and restrictions.
After a participant terminates employment for any reason, all amounts
are distributable to him or, if he is deceased, to his designated
beneficiary. If his interest exceeds $3,500, he may defer his
distribution up to his attainment of age 70 1/2. Distribution is
either in a single payment, quarterly installments or, by purchase of
an annuity. Amounts held in the Company Stock Fund and ESOP Fund are
distributed in the form of Common Shares or cash, as the participant
elects. All other amounts are distributed in the form of cash or
annuity.
Dividends received by the ESOP Fund with respect to allocated Company
shares are paid to participants subsequent to the end of each plan
year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
7. TAX STATUS
The United States Treasury Department advised on July 24, 1995, that
the Plan, as restated as of January 1, 1992, constitutes a qualified
trust under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is
therefore exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section
501(a).
Contributions matched by the Company and all earnings are not taxable
until distributed to the participants. Participants are allowed to
make deferred compensation contributions to the Plan in amounts up to
15% of their total compensation but not to exceed $9,500 and $9,240 in
1996 and 1995, respectively (may be adjusted annually for cost-of-
living increases). Such contributions are made in accordance with a
salary reduction arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and are treated for federal income tax purposes
as Company contributions. Contributions by highly compensated employees
are limited in accordance with section 401(k).
8. PLAN TERMINATION
The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, without further
approval by the shareholders, has the right to amend, modify, suspend,
or terminate the Plan in its entirety, or as to any subsidiary or
operating location. No amendment, modification, suspension, or
termination shall provide that assets held in trust by the Trustee may
be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive
benefit of participants or their beneficiaries. If the Plan is
terminated, the Company contributions credited to each affected
participant shall continue to be fully vested.
9. RECONCILIATION WITH FORM 5500
The Department of Labor requires that amounts owed to withdrawing but
unpaid former participants be classified as a plan liability on Form
5500, while these amounts are not reported as a liability in the
Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits. As a result,
the following reconciliations were prepared:
1996 1995
_____________ _____________
Net assets per Form 5500 $ 669,509,061 $ 552,376,550
Distributions payable that are allocated

As described in Note 2, the participants may elect to invest their
contributions in eight investment funds (five in 1995) and Company
contributions are invested in the ESOP Fund. The allocation of assets
and liabilities, and the additions and deductions among the investment
funds as well as the ESOP and Loan Funds follows on pages 10 through
