Since a lot of snow builds up on the top of the auger housing, I expect most snow blowers would have the same issue. I had to use a lot of WD-40 to unfreeze these bolts and I ended up holding the carriage bolts with some locking pliers. Once the bolt loosens up it will spin freely and you will have to hold them tight to the housing.
The housing has square holes that hold the square collar on the carriage bolt and prevent them from turning. The top cover is held on with just nuts and studs at the top end, and carriage bolts from the inside of the auger housing. They had some cracks in them, and a few of the fastening holes had broken tabs, but they would still stay on and keep snow out. I took off the top and bottom covers, which were in decent shape. I tried the electric start and while that didn't start the motor, the electric motor was very strong and worked perfectly.

Nothing worked, so I pulled some more and all I succeeded in doing was breaking the handle free from the rope, which ran away back inside it's hole. When I got it home, my first troubleshooting step was to put a little gas in it and pull the cord to see if it would start. I folded the handle down and put it in the back of my car. There was no gas in it so that is as far as I went. When I first saw this thing on the curb, I pulled the cord to see if it would turn and it did.
