Honda HRM215 vibrates terribly when blade not engaged but vibrates less when the blades are engages.

I have Honda Harmony HRM215 CB Serial Number: MZBB6004459 SXA and I hit a baseball size rock that was fairly buried. Now the mower vibrates terribly when blade is not engaged but vibrates much less when the blades are engaged. When you look at disk below where the blades attach, it no longer sits flush all the way around the housing right above it with one side raised up which is exactly halfway between the two blades.
Is the crankshaft bent or a pin or the “disk” above the blades? Let me know your thoughts and how difficult it is to DIY. I’m fairly mechanical but have never fixed a crankshaft if that’s what has to happen?
