It is always difficult to manage
the house in the winter. Since the weather is always so cold, I'd much rather
stay inside the house than have to go outside to shovel the snow. The necessity
to shovel snow was much more time consuming than having to tend a garden or mow
the lawn. It's not so bad when the winter first starts and the snow is just a
few flurries on the ground. However, when the weather drops and the snow
increases, that's when it becomes a problem.
The
family usually takes turns plowing the snow with the snow tractor that we have.
Having the tractor makes the labor of having to remove all of the snow from our
driveway much easier. Instead of using a shovel to pick up the snow with the
strength of our arms, we can drive and move the snow with the tractor.
Unluckily, the engine in our tractor recently ceased out and my father didn't
have enough money to purchase a new one so we would have to resort to shoveling
snow instead.
Unfortunately,
this winter was considerably worse and we all neglected our duty to shovel the
snow because it became so different and arduous. Each morning as I would leave
the house to go to school, I would have to walk through heavy, thick inches of
snow in order to get to my car. I would then have to brush all of the snow and
scrape the ice off of my windshield which usually took enough time to make me
late for class.
I
knew this had to change because I was being negatively impacted by the weather.
I talked to my dad into getting a new tractor but he was hesitant and said we
needed to figure out a different way to fix things. My brother suggested
changing the engine as it would be a lot cheaper than buying a brand new
tractor. My dad agreed and started looking into different engines so we could
replace it as soon as possible.
He
found Repower Specialists who had Honda
small engines, Kohler small engines and Brigg and Stratton small
engines. We decided to go with the Honda small engine because we have heard a
lot of good reviews based on their products.
We
received the Honda small engine, replaced it with the old engine and the
tractor ran like a new one. We were glad that we had been able to find such an
affordable engine that ultimately helped us to get our tractor running, plow
our snow and not be late for school anymore.
