Exhibit 99(i)

          STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER REGARDING
            FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, Michael R Young, state and attest that:

      (1)   To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
            reports of York International Corporation, and, except as corrected
            or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

            -     no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
                  fact 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); and

            -     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 independent
            members of the Company's Audit Committee.

      (3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
            before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            -     Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31,
                  2001 of York International Corporation.

            -     all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                  definitive proxy materials of York International Corporation
                  filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form
                  10-K identified above; and

            -     any amendments to any of the foregoing.

                                           /s/ Michael R.Young
