Its a heavy weight on its own shaft inside the engine. It is timed to the crank and the entire engine could do better without it. When it's bearings go, it's Kohler Armageddon!!

here is a video where a guy has a K series apart so you can see the balance gears and what they look like.

I'll be tossing mine in the scrap pile when I get to the reassembly stage of my rebuild.

they are to even the balance of the engine from the torque of the combustion stroke. my mitsubishi 4 cly (4g6 motor ) has 2 a high speed and a low speed and idles smooth as glass also raises the red line but how well it works on CC ?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
