I purchased a new 226v Grasshopper this year with a 60" deck. the mower only has 10 hours on it and it make strange noise that I think is coming from the anti scalp center roller. Has anyone else had this issue?

Are your anti-scalp rollers in constant contact with the ground? They should not be. Those rollers are not designed for supporting the deck. Move all of the anti-scalp rollers to the top holes in the mounting brackets. Add some lithium spray lube to the pins at the rollers.

The lithium spray lube sounds like a plan. Thanks for you response.Are your anti-scalp rollers in constant contact with the ground? They should not be.

Make sure that you move the anti-scalp wheels to the upper bolt holes.The lithium spray lube sounds like a plan. Thanks for you response.
