Answer
The part number you need is 48534 but the Sears site is saying the part is no longer available.

I believe this is an AYP or Noma part, which Murray bought at one time, then Murray went out of business.

Maybe you could find a cover on Ebay you could fit to the blower.

You can try some message boards and/or try the larger parts warehouses such as

or

Have you checked your local small engine repair shop to see if they might have a used part you could fit to the machine?
