What do I do??

Many of you know I have been throwing the idea around of either selling my Toro 826OXE or having an 11hp from the 1128OXE installed. Anyway I had it up for sale but people wanted to pay like 600 bucks! Mind you I paid nearly 1600 less then 10 months ago! So with the first reports of snow falling north and west of the city I have the snow blower loaded in my fathers van ready to go to the dealer. Do I just have it serviced and continue to try and sell it (really dont want to invest more $$) or do I have them install the 11HP engine? The dealer wants 120.00 + any parts to do the service. Now if they swap the shortblock this 120 gets washed away as they need to do an oil change, new plug, adjust belts, etc once they install the new engine block. What do you think I should do?

Don't forget the yellow strobe light, backup beeper, and the orange prison jump suit. :) Same goes for snow shovels??? It's amazing how we like to complicate simple things made to do simple jobs. If a person is truly concerned about being struck by street traffic, put a flashing light on a pole and stick it in the snow bank at the end of the driveway when working at that end. How many SS machines are made with lights and hand warmers? To me, the less there is to a machine that will be working in a difficult environment, the better.

It's only funny till somebody gets hit by a plow truck....then it's hilarious. Last year I came close! Some dumb EFF sanitation plow truck came flying down my block last doing about 45mph with the plow down, this SOB buried me up to my thighs in ice and snow it was like a wave at the beach blind siding you nevermind the blade was about 18" from me! Either he didnt see me or he didnt care either way I thought I was gonna get hit!
On a side note I asked the dealer today about the clarence impeller kit but he never heard of it! Should I order one?
