Stolen or from a flood ?

The Ariens 32" wide snowblower I recently got free - the ID numbers are
all "missing". Nothing on the Tecumseh cast iron sleeve engine - not even
a horsepower number. The tag on the unit has the model / serial numbers
cut away. There is, what seems to be, an unusual amount of rust &
corrosion on the control linkiages and engine.
It is a big heavy unit so it may have belonged to a town or business
rather than a homeowner (but the paint in the auger housing and chute
shows very little wear) - and then stolen. Or with all the floods in
recent years, it could have been damaged and the numbers removed for some
insurance reason.
Any ideas ?
Ask Ariens if there are other ways to identify such creatures. There may
be numbers stamped on parts somewhere.
