Yep it appears to be cast aluminum rod.  Can't weld that dipper back on.  I could get another rod, but do I want to keep dumping $$ into this engine?  Hmm.  I might could polish that crank back out.  We're talking mower engine here.  Hmm... what to do.

Kind of thinking of making a dipper that connects to the bolt and sending it till she's done.

OK, I am going to give the kohler 1 more chance.  I went ahead and purchased a new rod.  Should be here friday.  Maybe I'll get it fired up again Saturday.

Crank cleaned up nicely at lunch today.  This looks promising.  There are a couple knicks in one spot, but I think it will be fine.

Nice to see you giving it surgery even if it will end up getting shelved!

So it looks like it's already been into as it has a 10 thou over piston, guess they didn't follow the proper torque procedure for the rod end (which is an odd one IMO) and I'll assume no Loctite either? You caught it just in time man, good for you!

I bet those rod cap bolts were only finger tight.  Also, the camshaft looks pretty new as well.  Lobes are perfect.

As for shelving... that could get pushed out a while.

More research on these engines. I have found out that aftermarket rods seem to come loose.  We we have established the engine has been rebuilt at least once.

Also, the balance gears.  In the pulling world, they recommend you yank them out or they may grenade on you.  I believe, that with offroad use, the recommendation will probably be the same!  Those will be coming out.  The bottom one is already looking sketchy and ragged.

The machine shop yanked the balance gears out of my K301 when that got done. I think they were already broken.

There is still aluminum deposited on that crankshaft. Do this outside! You can dissolve it off with muriatic acid or perhaps white vinegar will do the same. Then you can polish it up again. Looks like a perfect candidate for a new rod.

@Crazy_Carl,
I haven't really finished with the cleaning of the crank.  I just did a quick 2-3 minute cleaning.  I saw that it was coming off pretty easy.  I was going to give it more love between now and the new rod Friday.

With the recommendation from The Captain,  @Wheelinhorse, I did go and yank the balance gears out.  Good thing too.  

One was missing needles in the needle bearing.  I search all over the inside of the block with a magnet to be sure they didn't fall out.  That could have been some flaky debris I found in the pan.
KeeptheKohler - MightyRaze - Red Bandit - Page 7 Img_3095

One of the gears was already starting to flake apart.

KeeptheKohler - MightyRaze - Red Bandit - Page 7 Img_3097

Empty shafts where they were.

KeeptheKohler - MightyRaze - Red Bandit - Page 7 Img_3098

Note the shaft closest to the camera.  See the scoring from the missing needles?

I've read that without the balance gears, I will see anywhere from, unnoticeable to some shake that will eventually not be noticed after some time.

Now to figure out how to get the spacers off.

Actually there is a problem with aftermarket rods coming loose.  This engine had an aftermarket rod.

Definitely feel like an oppy swap would be the quickest bestest fix lol

Wow mighty, I didn’t know those engines fall apart like that! Be interesting to see how the new rod turns out, I bet it will work fine.

Yay!  Rod finally made it today.  Shocked it was not made in china, but was made in Taiwan.  LOL.  Anyways, I was excited to get it in that I forgot to take any pictures.

Engine is back on and all hooked up.  I have not tired to fire it yet.  I'll do that after work.

The Kohler lives again!  Knock is gone, and there isn't any vibration even though I took out the balance gears!

Not yet, My belt is 1 inch too small so it does not disenguage.  I know I don't have the guides on yet, but I'm going by the clutch pulley placement.  It's close to driving.

In other news, I have myself a battery box welded up now!  Not finished, but seems to be good to go.
