Finished up the pond today, my neighbor, Larry told me several times this summer that he wanted to help when I dug the pond. He brought his 656 IH over today and helped me finish up. All told I think I put in 10 hours with the 1845, Larry helped me about 3 hours today. I uploaded a bunch of pictures to photobucket, here's a link.

Looks good. Do you think it'll have any trouble holding water? I've dug a few (real) small ones around here, and the ground is usually so porous that I've had to haul clay in to seal them up.

It held for at least the last 70 years, we dug it down to rock. Time (and hopefully some rain) will tell. It's only dry because of drought.

Great pictures! Looks like the exact same weather we had. IH loader is same as Case 70 loader with a few slight differences. Would love to have a 1845. Got a 1530 Case that I put a bigger engine in and it does a fine job also.

Those IH 656's were bullit tough was it a hydro IH should still be making those trans just so handy for doing chores unlike the newer transmissons, you did a great job on the dirt work.
