db4570, I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a 122 with an older style 42" deck that will scalp the ground like none other. I have a 107 with a newer style 42" deck with a roller on the front. When it's properly adjusted from front to back, I don't have very much of a scalping problem with it. What I've ended up doing is setting my depth stop on my handle to just below the second notch on the lever, and then running with my mower with the float engaged. Seems to work pretty well, and I can cut a little lower with the anti-scalp roller on the front saving me from the high spots.
