I have a Scotts spreader with precision flow control. Model # PF1 The markings on the control plate are worn off and i would like to get a new one

My Scotts Deluxe Edgeguard has broken. The cable that pulls the fertilizer feed door open (when you sqeeze the lever) has sheared off where the cable meets the body. Is there some way to obtain the part(s) I need? What about a repair manual so I can figure out what part(s) are required?

Eddie, sorry to hear you are having problems with your spreader. If you haven't already, please contact Scotts at 8777-465-5160, and we can check to see if we have replacement parts availble.

I'm sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing with your spreader. You're right, this is the correct way to adjust the calibration of the Classic Drop Spreader. If you are still having problems, you can call Scotts at 877-465-5160, and we can assist you further.

Scotts does have some replacement parts available, depending on the SpeedyGreen model you have. Please give Scotts a call at 800-543-8873 and we'll be happy to assist you with replacement parts. Hilary @ Scotts

That is not going to be easy. Most equipment that is under $100 is considered disposable and replacement parts are not easy to find.

The best option is to track another spreader down on www.Craigslist.org. Pull off the parts you need (or use the replacement spreader as purchased if it is better than the one you own.

Good luck and sorry I don't have a parts source for you.

Hi,
The best way is to just place a small amount... like 5 lb in the hopper...start with it barely open and see how far you get,,, then compute from there what you need...
The settings they give you are guesamates at best and are often set to place too much... why not??? they are selling you a product!!

Absolutely. If you use Scotts turf seed, it will have the settings marked right on the bag. Very handy.

The unit is lifetime guarranteed. Email their website with the explanation and they will post replacement parts at no charge to you. Best of luck...Don

i have one in mint condition
