Just look at the TT deck and tell them you WANT the exact same brackets and such used on the rear corners of TT deck.

Thanks for the info.
I'll do it

So, if he was referring to one mounted to the rear of the deck itself then he is 100% correct. That is what I will most likely do to solve the issue.

I don't know about the Cheetah and if they changed the V+ deck but my Tiger Cub has two wide rollers already on the center rear of the deck. I added the anti scalp kit that would be used on a TT because it still scalped. The deck should have them in the center back of the deck.

It's all in my first post about that roller. That is one of the main reasons I put shorter blade spacers on. The blades stuck down so far that roller under the deck was rendered useless.
Something else I put in my original post was the fact there isn't any adjustment on that roller under the deck. There should be at least one other hole to lower it.

My bad. I over looked the part about the center roller already there. I think the only option is to call them and explain about the scalping issue and ask them to send you the brackets in raw metal so you can weld them in place and repaint them and the deck. Mine came out looking like the OEM ones on a TT. They make a difference.
