Item 9.    Regulation FD Disclosure
           ------------------------

Eaton Corporation is hereby amending its Report on Form 8-K made August 8, 2002
which received an official filing date of August 9, 2002 because of receipt in
the offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") after the EDGAR

statements of both the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
of Eaton Corporation (which statements are required by the June 27, 2002 order
of the SEC) so that the date of such statements and the filing date of Eaton
Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
are the same.

Copies of the sworn statement dated August 9, 2002 are attached as exhibits
99(a) and 99 (b).

* no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered by such report (or
in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
date on which it was filed).

(2)	I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
committee.

(3) 	In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before
