That is normal for a 40 yr old Kohler that has a warped head and in need of a gasket. Be sure to sand the head flat on a piece of glass before reinstalling it.
No balance gears in that engine. Gotta take the steering gear apart and inspect the pieces, be sure to consult a good exploded view of the the steering gear and inspect the cups closely.

Did some frame cleaning this week and pulled the body off today. Footpads were a pain but got them off. Decided I might refresh the paint while its apart. This would be going full steam right now but I am also in the middle of 2 home remodles and Cub is at the weekend house. It makes a good escape from drywalling when the wife is not with me. ;0)

Took head off engine. I think the piston looks good!!! Let's see if anyone else disagrees.
Thanks TwoTon! I love having all the links in this thread. Super helpful for anyone searching! Your a great asset to the site. Read through your long, long thread the other night. Picked up a bit here and there from it. It shows how fast someone can go from a mild fix to a complete restoration! OK, this sucks! I have 1 vote that it has balance gears and 1 that says it doesn't... UUGGRRHHGG!!! Which is it? Let me add serial number. 7425521. K301AQS. Spec 47581d The pan does had a very minor amount of contact at the cradle points but I couldn't tell a difference in it from the side that still had the bolts. Only it was shiny. I think this may have been the perfect time to pull the engine and address the cradle.

Good luck with the repairs. Certainly a wealth of knowledge on this site.
Here is a link to the manual for the K301 engine Owners http://www.kohlerengines.com/onlinec...1346_c_all.pdf Service http://www.kohlerengines.com/onlinec...df/tp_2379.pdf Perhaps it can help figuring out if there are balance gears.

No balance gears in an AQS engine. Don't believe me? I don't care. Look it up yourself.
http://www.cubcadet.com/equipment/AR...______________ They guy who says they have them likely had a machine someone had already messed with. You can't tell much about the condition of a piston from the top like that. Damage is most always on the side, where you can't see until it is removed. Don't get excited.... leave it in there. Roll the piston down in the hole and lest see a pic of the cylinder. More can be observed from the cylinder than the top of the piston. Pretty nasty in there. Head gasket was blown... and it was sucking oil up. It's likely worn out, but clean it up and put it back together and see if it burns oil. May run a few more years. Not really much to tell with a blown gasket and the carbon gunked up like that. How long have you owned this machine?? You don't say.

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.
