john deere 1032 (looking for info-snowblower)

I've googled various combinations for a john deere 1032 and got varied
results.  I'm looking for info in regards to engine manufacturer for this
snowblower.  The one I have is about 12 years old.  I can't get it started
and suspect it might be the points on the engine.  Also looking to rebuild
the carb on this too.  I've heard Ariens may make similar parts too for
Deere.  Local John Deere dealer was of no help either.
