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.

Thanks Jonathan! I believe you!!!
I just bought it. The hour meter works and say 450. I am assuming that is a possible 950. It was owned by 2 previous owners. Last owner had it for about 5 years and only plowed with it. Seems to be in good condition for 40 years. Better than my 1990 Deere. Cylinder walls seem nice and shiny all around. Not sure how well it shows in the pictures. Getting a picture of a cylinder wall is like trying to get a good picture of a toddler... Lol

Yeah, cylinder walls are had to get a pic of. I think I can see hatch marks on them still. They should be shiny.... kind of. If they are too shiny, they're shot. Should be kind of hazy (best way I can describe it). Should still be able to see hatch marks. If you can't, they're wore out. Even if you can, it may still be wore pretty bad, but not usually.

read page 11.11 in the kohler service manual "most k321 and k341 k series engines have balance gears. some k321 and k301 engines are equipped with a balance gear system" looks like you have a 50/50 shot that they are in there

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.
