This is a tricky question since there are different kind of scott spreaders and the lesco products doesn't list the settings for all of the scott's spreaders. I use the standard Scott spreader. What I figured out is that the spreader number represents the amount of pounds of product per 1000 sq ft.
Example: if you want to apply 4lbs/1000 sq ft of product then use setting 4. If you want to apply 8lbs/1000 sq ft then use setting 8.
Always remember not to go over the maximum amt of product per year. This is important when applying lesco pre-emergent and post-emergent since it can affect the PH of the soil.
I also found this chart. The standard Scott spreader setting goes from 1 to 18.GENERIC SETTINGS - Rotary / Broadcast SpreadersApplication Rate3 lbs/1,000 sq. ft4 lbs/1,000 sq. ft5 lbs/1,000 sq. ftSpreader Range1 -- 102½3½41 -- 183451 -- 241416181 -- 40253033
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.
Spreader settings for Scotts manufactured spreaders are listed on the back of the bag.
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.

Unfortunately, there is no conversion. The spreaders are calibrated differently.
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.
