As above, these have a metal, odd shaped thing that says Kubota BX and is ribbed.
Others do not.
What is it, which section of part book?

You have a picture of what you are talking about?
I found out it was a cover for a balancer (for the 2 cyl) some sort of geared/chained weight.
Still looking for it in the parts book.

It is just a chunk of metal bolted to the engine to help with vibration/harmonics of the 2cylinder engine. I couldn't find it in the parts book either.
My dad has a 1500 and I was curious about that weight also when he bought it.

It really doesn't even rotate?
Just mass?

Yeah, it's just a chunk of cast iron.

My weight broke off its mounts early. The tractor works fine without it. Over 2Khrs at this point.

Wow, that's surprising, if I recall they are bolted to the exhaust manifold along with some other brackets.

Did you do a lot of low idling?
