The spreader setting for Scotts Southern Turf Builder when using the EZ Broadcast spreader by Republic is 3.5. If you are using the EZ Drop Spreader by Republic the spreader setting is 6.5.
set on 3.25
If you are using the Vigoro Ultra Turf Lawn Fertilizer(29-0-4) with the Scotts Standard Broadcast Spreader then the setting would be 5.
You would want to use a spreader setting of 3.5. Go over the entire lawn 1 time.
They were be-headed primarily with a radically converted Qualcast lawn mower
Overseeding -- 7 1/2 New Lawn/ Bare spot -- 18 but it would be best to go over the lawn twice at setting 7 1/2 in perpendicular directions.
The Scotts spreader has a dial on there they call a micrometer. The settings on the dial are tested specifically with their products and their spreader. I'm not sure how they compare as I've never seen the Sears spreader. The Scotts Company's consumer services division keeps a list of many spreader types and can often help with setting the spreader before applying their product. You may want to contact them. Look them up at www.scotts.com.

I spread 10,000 sq-ft of ACE Green Turf over about 12,000 sq-ft of lawn using my Republic rotary broadcast spreader. I used a setting of 4 for the front yard (which was too much) and 2.5 in the back yard (which was too little). So, I'm thinking the right setting was about 3. Not very scientific, hope this helps...
