How do I know what model Craftsman mower I have?
For the Craftsman tractor snow cab model 48624275, the model number and serial number are printed on a decal attached to the base assembly. Use that decal information to identify your exact model before ordering parts or following assembly steps in the 48624275 owner's manual.
Check these common spots first (clean off snow, dirt, and grass so the decal is readable):
- Base assembly decal (primary location for the 48624275 snow cab)
- Inside the cab frame area near the lower mounting points
- On or near the hardware mounting brackets
- If you are identifying the tractor itself: under the seat, on the frame rail, or near the engine area (varies by tractor brand and style)
Record the information exactly as shown on the decal.
| Item to record | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 48624275 | Ensures diagrams and hardware match your attachment |
| Serial number | Varies | Helps confirm production run and correct replacement parts |
| Purchase date | MM/DD/YYYY | Useful for service history and reference |
- Match the full model number character-for-character.
- Use the model number to cross-check the parts list in the manual.
- If you need common hardware for this attachment, match by description and size (for example, a 5/16-in washer) and then confirm the part ID.
- For canopy or frame pieces, compare the illustration and reference numbers in the manual before buying.
Craftsman tractors and attachments can look similar across years, but mounting hardware and frame pieces can differ. Using the decal on the base assembly for model 48624275 helps you get the correct snow cab parts the first time.

Where are the grease fittings on a Craftsman lawn tractor?
Grease fittings (zerks) on a Craftsman lawn tractor are typically on chassis pivot points and steering parts, not on the Craftsman 48624275 tractor snow cab itself. For the snow cab, you will not find grease fittings because it is a bolt-on canopy frame and vinyl cover; use the tractor’s maintenance chart in the 48624275 owner's manual for snow cab care and follow your tractor’s manual for lubrication points.
Most Craftsman riding mowers and lawn tractors place zerks where metal pivots under load:
- Front axle pivot (center of the front axle where it pivots on the frame)
- Steering spindles or kingpins (near each front wheel spindle)
- Steering linkage joints (drag link or tie-rod ends, when equipped)
- Deck idler arm pivots or deck lift pivots (some models)
- Front wheel bearings (some models use grease caps instead of zerks)
A grease fitting is a small metal nipple with a ball check in the tip. If grease immediately squeezes out around the outside when you pump, the coupler is usually not fully seated.
- Wipe the fitting clean first so dirt does not get pushed in
- Push the grease gun coupler straight on until it “clicks” and feels locked
- Pump slowly; stop when you see fresh grease at the joint (do not overfill)
- If it still leaks at the coupler, reposition and try again
The 48624275 snow cab is maintained by inspection, tightening hardware, and cleaning, not greasing.
| Item | What to do | When |
|---|---|---|
| Frame fasteners | Check and tighten bolts and knobs | Before each season |
| Vinyl canopy/windows | Clean with mild soap and water; never clean clear plastic dry | As needed |
| Storage | Store clean and dry, away from direct sunlight | End of season |
If you are missing or replacing snow cab hardware, match the part to the illustrated parts list; common items include the lawn tractor snow cab attachment vinyl canopy 40122 and small hardware such as the Craftsman elastic hook 25040.
Greasing the correct tractor pivots prevents steering wear and squeaks, while over-greasing or greasing the wrong place can attract grit and accelerate wear. Keeping the snow cab clean and tight helps prevent tearing the vinyl canopy and reduces rattles.

Where can I get Craftsman replacement parts?
For Craftsman replacement parts, we recommend shopping by your exact model number (for this snow cab, Craftsman 48624275) so you get the right fit. You can order parts through Sears PartsDirect, and you can also find Craftsman parts through major retailers and the official Craftsman channel.
- Match parts using the full model number: 48624275
- Use the exploded views and parts list in the 48624275 owner's manual
- Replace missing or worn hardware with the same size and thread type (bolt, nut, washer)
- For cab fabric damage, replace the canopy rather than patching when tears are large
- Keep a small “spares kit” of common fasteners for mid-season fixes
These are some frequently replaced items for the Craftsman 48624275 tractor snow cab:
| What you need | Example part for this model | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Canopy cover | Vinyl canopy 40122 | Blocks wind and snow; the main fabric enclosure |
| Hook/strap hardware | Elastic hook 25040 | Helps secure panels and maintain tension |
| Fasteners | Wing knobs, bolts, nuts, washers | Holds the frame together and keeps alignment |
The manual includes a dedicated missing-parts contact process for assembly issues. Use the parts list to identify the exact item name and quantity before you order.
- Confirm the model number on your product label matches 48624275
- Identify the part by name (for example, “vinyl canopy” or “elastic hook”)
- Count how many you need (many fasteners are used in multiples)
- Check whether the issue is a missing part vs. a damaged part
Snow cab frames and hardware are size-specific; ordering by model number helps prevent fit problems like misaligned tubes, loose canopy tension, or incorrect bolt lengths that can cause rattling and premature wear.
