Craftsman 48624505 5-hp mow-n-vac Parts

For your Craftsman 48624505 5-hp Mow-N-Vac, we recommend buying replacement parts using the exact model number (48624505) so you get the right fit.

Best ways to make sure you get the right part

• Match the full model number on the Mow-N-Vac decal to 48624505.
• Use the parts diagrams and parts list in the 48624505 owner's manual.
• Compare the part name and identifier before ordering (example: wheel vs. hub cap).
• Replace missing hardware with the correct size and type (bolt, washer, lock nut) to prevent loosening.
• If you are adapting the vacuum to a different tractor deck, confirm you have the correct adapter style.

On Craftsman equipment, the model and serial numbers are typically printed on a decal or label attached to the unit. For the Craftsman 48624505 5-hp Mow-N-Vac, the owner’s manual specifies that the model and serial numbers are found on a decal attached to the Mow-N-Vac itself; record them for parts lookup and service reference using the 48624505 owner’s manual.

Where to look first (fast checks)

• Check the cart or frame near the engine and blower housing; decals are often placed where they stay visible but protected.
• Look along the tongue area and hitch bracket zone.
• Inspect the cart body panels near the rear door and tailgate area.
• Wipe off dust and grass residue; decals can be hard to see when dirty.
• If the decal is worn, use a flashlight at an angle to read faint printing.

If you meant a Craftsman wet/dry shop vac (different product)

Many Craftsman shop vacs place the model label on the power head (motor housing) rather than the tank. Common spots include:

Shop vac area	Typical label location	What you’ll see
Power head	Rear or side of motor housing	Model and serial, electrical ratings
Handle/cord wrap area	Near cord wrap or handle base	Model number and warnings
Tank rim	Under the lid lip	Model/serial sticker

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct diagrams and parts list. Even similar-looking Craftsman units can use different wheels, hoses, adapters, and hardware depending on the exact model.

The average lifespan of the Craftsman 48624505 5-hp Mow-N-Vac is 10 years with normal seasonal use and basic maintenance (cleaning the hose and cart, checking fasteners, and keeping the engine serviced). Heavy use in dusty, wet, or sandy conditions shortens lifespan.

What most often determines lifespan

• Engine care: clean air intake areas, keep fuel fresh, and follow the service intervals.
• Airflow health: clogs and wet debris strain the blower and reduce performance.
• Hose and boot condition: cracks, soft spots, or loose connections reduce suction.
• Cart and door sealing: a warped door or weak latch lets air leak and debris escape.
• Hardware tightness: vibration loosens bolts, washers, and lock nuts over time.

Maintenance that gets you to 10 years

Use the schedule and procedures in the 48624505 owner's manual. In general, we recommend:

• Empty the cart before it is packed tight; packed debris restricts airflow.
• Clear the hose after every use, especially if you vacuum damp leaves.
• Inspect the hose connection points and tighten clamps or fasteners as needed.
• Check wheels and hubs for wobble; replace worn rolling parts early.
• Store the unit dry and covered to protect the cart, door, and hardware.

Common wear items and what they affect

Area	What wears out	What you notice	Example part for this model
Pickup path	Hose	Low suction, frequent clogs	Hose 6 x 84 41882
Deck connection	Boot	Air leaks, poor pickup	Craftsman lawn tractor lawn vacuum attachment boot 44796
Cart closure	Rear door	Debris blow-by, rattling	Agri-fab lawn tractor vacuum attachment cart rear door 44790
Mobility	Wheel	Wobble, hard towing	Wheel 42159G

Why it matters

A Mow-N-Vac is an airflow machine; when the hose, boot, or cart door leaks or clogs, the engine and blower work harder. Keeping airflow clear and seals tight is the fastest way to extend the service life of the Craftsman 48624505.
