You can order parts through Sears PartsDirect, and you can also find Craftsman parts through major retailers and the Craftsman brand’s official channels.

• 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.

These are examples of model-matched parts that are commonly needed after wear, damage, or loss:

Craftsman parts are often shared across multiple attachments, but fit can still vary by model and configuration. Using the 48624505 parts list prevents ordering a similar-looking wheel, hose, or adapter that does not mount correctly.

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.

• 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.

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

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.

• 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.

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.

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.
