Honda Mower Shaking

Good Afternoon!

I have a Honda 217 model mower with the blade release and is self propelled.

Last time I was mowing the weeds that my lawn has turned into, I ran over an exposed metal pipe.

The violent, metal-on-metal collision stopped the mower completely.

The good news is, that it started right back up.

The bad news is, that idling, with the blade disengaged, the mower shakes pretty badly.

The good news (I guess) is, that with the blade engaged, the shaking either disappears or diminishes significantly, or, is completely masked by the spinning blade and higher RPMs of the motor while the blade is engaged.

If the blade was bent, wouldn't the mower shake like crazy with the blade spinning?

What am I likely to have messed up mechanically with the mower by running over something that clearly was un-mowable?

TIA for your assistance.
