THE PLASTIC CHUTE DOE NOT COME WITH THE BAG. Yes I have to put this here. I already had one person Now a total of 8 people have DONE THIS???????????? You will NOT RECEIVE the machine or plastic chute ONLY the bag. Then they sent the bag back to me???????????? Now another person thinks they are getting the machine and is asking to return the bag. That is 2 people now in 4 weeks ??????????? Now another person thinks they are getting the machine and the bag on 4-8-19 shipping it back to me on 4-12-19. 
I have noticed some blue marks on the mesh material I think is from the black thread I used on the inside of the bags. I have included pictures of the BLUE marks so you can see what I am seeing. I believe it is from the thread lubricant on the thread. It will not effect how the bag works. After the first time you use it will get dirty real fast anyway. If it bothers you tell me and I will look to see if I can find one with out the marks. My guess is it will show up on all of them after time in this batch. The marks are getting more & more visible as time goes by. 
They are longer and darker now as of 12-18-2018. 
I have also now seen a few red dots that have shown up in a few spots along the seams from the red marker that marked the spots for sewing the bags together.
(See pictures of inside the bag picture and picture of outside of the bag showing where they are coming from.)
Hard to see unless you look for them. I guess I will have to find another way to mark the material or I will cut a V at the red dot spot in the future batches I make. 12-7-2019
I have found another way to mark the fabric so these marks should be gone after a few more sell.           


I am making a test run of 15 bag to see if they sell. If they do not sell very well. I will not make any more of this bag. When these are sold out they are gone.

They sold out so I am making more bags for this year 2018 & 2019.

I have now made a total of 92 for sale in 2018 & 75 more in 2019.Yup I am sick of making them now 

I MADE THIS BAG 1 INCH WIDER THAN THE ORIGINAL BAG. I have also enlarged the straps  slightly and beefed up the straps end by melting the webbing so it can not fray out causing the hanger straps to fail. The part numbers of the two bag I used as a pattern is 1768526 and 1763572.

 I did add some extra material to bottom sides of the original pattern to improve the fit on the machine. 

These are made from COMMERCIAL GRADE MATERIAL. My bags are made from a mix of blues and gray colors  COMMERCIAL FABRIC  using all new materials with a  MUCH LARGER nylon zipper with 2 METAL zipper pulls that allow you to close and open the zipper anyplace on the bag. The picture of the Troy Bilt chipper vac is NOT for sale or included The CHIPPER VAC in the picture is ONLY TO SHOW THE FIT AND MACHINE TYPE  IT FITS The plastic chutes are NOT included with the bag. You will ONLY GET THE NEW BAG with a new zip tie. The plastic chutes show what type of plastic chute fits into this bag. I will include a new zip tie for you to install your plastic chute in this bag.  Payment expected in 5 days after auction, I will ship within 2 days M-F  of payment of paypal CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS ARE OK THROUGH PAYPAL shipping to lower 48 states $15.00.   check with me for international , Hawaii  and Alaska shipping  price.

  • ABOUT ME  I was a upholster by trade. Now more of a hobby. You may have seen or bought the black bags from me in the past. Every one of these heavy duty bags is cut by me and the sewing is done by me I also fit test every bag . So you may find a leaf or 2 in your new bag. Now you will know why. If you see something I can improve on let me know. The fabric is so strong you can make a cut in the fabric then just try to tear it. Good luck..


The bag is a little wider than the original bag so it will fill up more. This fabric is more breathable than the original bag allowing more breathability filling the bag fuller. If you look at my pictures you can see in the last picture you will see through the gray mesh fabric. Now you can see when it is full. The fabric I buy is commercial grade polyester coated mesh fabric The fabric is seconds so there is some minor defects that will not effect its performance in any way. It saves about $10.00 on the cost of a bag. If you feel you need one with out any defects send me a question and I will try to find one with out the defects for you.

Hi Fred:

The new bag for my Craftsman chipper-vac arrived this morning--I've never seen such service...I just ordered it a couple of days ago!--and I hooked it up and gave it a trial run. Fred, I can't believe the quality of the bag, and also how much more effective it makes the vacuum. The zipper is exponentially better than the original, the full bag is MUCH easier to dump, and the increased ventilation makes the vacuuming uptake at least 25% better than before.

Since the machine is close to 30 years old, I questioned paying $200 for a new bag, but I'm certainly glad I did. I've taken good care of the machine, and it runs as well as ever, and at my age, with the new bag, it will probably outlast me!

In this day and age of cheap imports, it's increasingly rare to find hand-crafted quality such as you provide, and I wanted you to know how grateful I am for the service and extraordinary quality of your workmanship.

Best wishes,

Herb Taylor

Dear Mr McGuire, thank you for expediting the chipper vac bag. The upgraded design and quality of construction and materials is superb, far exceeding the original bag, and causing the machine to perform better. The original bag zipper failed, would otherwise have to abandon the machine altogether. Please feel free to use my email as a review of your product. Sincerely, Mark N., Pawtucket, RI

Fred,

Just wanted you to see the review that will be posted for your Chipper/VAC Bag I just posted. Your product is far superior to the OEM Bag that was with the Sears Chipper/VAC, and the replacement I purchased about 15 years after the original, which I have now owned for over 30 years, still runs like a top! I am EBAY buyer H1457.

Here you go:

I have the Sears 987.799791 -  5 HP Chipper/VAC, which the bag is no longer available, UNTIL NOW!

This replacement bag made by Fred McGuire is far superior in quality, design and fit than the original that came with the product, or the replacement that was offered for a short time by Sears that was too small and didn't even fit properly, it kept shutting the motor down with the kill bar coming out when anything was in the bag because of the original design. This is NOT a problem with this bag. This product, by McGuire is far better than any of the originals or OEM replacements. .

This collection bag will allow me to keep my Chipper/VAC for years to come, easier to clean and empty, and actually allows the VAC to work properly because it allows much more air to pass through it and does not clog up the exhaust air because of the new design. I would estimate a 50% increase in suction with this bag on, plus loads the bag properly using the additional air flow this bag offers.

The zipper, handles and hanging support straps are designed much better and much easier to get on and off the machine. GREAT job creating this replacement bag, it has fixed every flaw and/or problem with the OEM parts.

As you can tell, I am very pleased with this product and this bag is well worth the money. I am not related of a part of the manufacture of this item just to clarify. My Chipper/VAC sat for several years because no one could supply the replacement, BUT it is now available, and far better than original, It's a MUST HAVE for your Chipper/VAC.

THANK YOU for such a great replacement collection bag that had been discontinued!

Again, thank you for putting together such a quality product, far better than original, your design is far superior to the originals,

Excellent chipper-shredder bag.

This bag is superior to the original item: Slightly larger but perfect fit, much better zipper, and much larger screen area (both sides). The larger screen area reduces resistance to air exhaust which allows the machine to operate better.

I have had one person out of the 58 bags I sold that told me this bag is to dusty when he was using it.

Lawn vac replacement bag


The bag is constructed well with good materials but lacks baffling panels on the sides to suppress dust when in use.  The first time I used it to vacuum leaves it created a dust storm on the machine and on me.  I cut the old bag up the bottom and drape it over this new one to direct the dust downward.  T he new one also has a better zipper system. 

Thanks by

The bag has to breath in order to suck up leafs. If you find it to dusty try spraying a little water from a spray bottle on the sides of the bag. The majority of the time I do my leafs they are not that dry and have not had this problem happen to me. Any thoughts you have I would love to hear about. Negative or Positive.
