Craftsman 24779651 edger/trencher Parts

Yes. Craftsman makes battery-powered (cordless) edgers, including 20V MAX models that come as a kit with a battery, charger, and blade. If you are shopping parts for Craftsman model 24779651, note that it is a gas-style edger/trencher model, so cordless edger parts are typically not interchangeable.

How to choose the right Craftsman cordless edger

When comparing cordless edgers, we recommend matching the tool to your yard size and edging style (sidewalks, driveways, trenching).

• Choose a battery platform you already own (for example, Craftsman 20V MAX) to share batteries across tools.
• Look for runtime claims that fit your typical edging length per session.
• Confirm cutting depth and whether it can trench or only edge.
• Check whether the kit includes a battery and charger or is tool-only.
• Verify blade size and replacement blade availability.

Parts note for model 24779651

If you are maintaining the Craftsman 24779651 edger/trencher, common service items are hardware and guards. These help keep the blade area aligned and protected during operation.

What you are doing	Typical part type	Example from this model’s parts
Replacing a missing blade-area shield	Guard	Edger blade guard 731P05064
Restoring depth control feel	Spring/lever	Depth control torsion spring (example part listing: 732-0188A)
Tightening loose assemblies	Nuts/bolts	Hex flange nut (example part listing: 712-0417A)

Why it matters

Cordless Craftsman edgers are great for quick, low-maintenance edging, but the drive system and blade mounting are different from many gas edger/trencher designs. Matching the correct model and parts prevents fit issues and helps keep the edger safe and stable.

For the Craftsman edger/trencher model 24779651, the exact engine make and displacement depend on the specific engine installed on your unit (some versions use common small 4-cycle walk-behind edger engines). The most reliable way to identify it is to read the engine ID label on the engine itself.

How to identify the engine on model 24779651

Look for an engine label or stamping on the engine shroud or valve cover area. Use these items to identify the engine:

• Engine brand (commonly Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, or similar on older units)
• Model / type / code (Briggs & Stratton format) or model / spec (other brands)
• Displacement (cc) or horsepower rating
• Serial number (helps match parts and service info)

Where the engine information is usually located

Most walk-behind edger engines place the ID in one of these spots:

• Recoil starter housing (pull-start shroud)
• Top of the engine cover/shroud
• Valve cover area
• Near the muffler heat shield
• On a metal tag riveted to the blower housing

Quick engine ID checklist (what to write down)

Capture these details before ordering parts or doing repairs:

• Craftsman model number: 24779651
• Engine brand and full model code
• Fuel type (gas) and cycle type (most are 4-cycle)
• Any symptoms (won’t start, surging, no power, blade won’t engage)

Common engine types you may see (typical ranges)

These are typical for many Craftsman walk-behind edgers, and help you sanity-check what you find on the label:

Engine type	Typical displacement	What it means for you
4-cycle OHV gas	120cc to 160cc	Uses straight gas (no mix); routine oil changes
Older flathead 4-cycle	3.5 HP to 5 HP class	Often uses older-style carb and ignition parts

Why it matters

The engine model code determines the correct carburetor, air filter, spark plug, primer bulb, and governor parts. Even within Craftsman model 24779651, engine variations can change tune-up parts and service procedures.

If you’re also troubleshooting blade engagement or depth adjustment while identifying the engine, check related hardware such as the edger blade adjuster rod 747-04110A and edger blade guard 731P05064.

For the Craftsman 24779651 edger/trencher, blade size is determined by the exact blade installed and the mounting pattern on the blade plate. Most walk-behind edgers in this class use a blade around 8 to 9 inches in diameter; confirm yours by measuring the blade and matching the center hole and bolt pattern.

How to confirm the correct blade size

• Disconnect the spark plug wire and let the engine cool before working near the blade.
• Measure blade diameter straight across through the center (edge to edge).
• Measure the center hole diameter and note whether it is round, keyed, or slotted.
• Count mounting holes and measure the bolt circle (distance between holes across the center).
• Compare your measurements to the blade plate and guard clearance so the blade does not rub.

Parts that affect blade fit, alignment, and safety

Even with the correct blade diameter, these parts commonly affect how the blade tracks and how safely it’s covered:

What you notice	What to check	Example part for this model
Blade area feels exposed or debris throws	Guard condition and mounting	Edger blade guard 731P05064
Blade depth will not stay set	Depth control spring tension	Yard-man edger depth control torsion spring 732-0188A
Blade height or tracking is inconsistent	Adjuster rod straightness and adjustment	Mtd edger blade adjuster rod 747-04110A

Why it matters

Using the correct diameter and mounting pattern prevents vibration, rubbing on the guard, and poor edging lines. It also reduces stress on the blade plate, pulleys, and depth adjustment hardware on your Craftsman 24779651.
