You should be able to replace the whole bag assembly by just unscrewing the 4 screws connecting the bottom of the bag to the motor base. Unless you have a really old model, these parts are pretty much interchangeable. Why not bring your bag into a local vac store to confirm that the base of the replacement shakeout bag is identical and installs with the same 4 screws?
Just beware of any sales person trying to get you to buy a whole new machine....if they try to sell you a new vacuum, walk out and go to another Sanitaire dealer. Or you could just call up Sanitaire to find out which shakeout bag is compatible with your model. They also have bag assemblies with a plastic dirt cassette at the bottom of the bag - easier to empty... | ||

Here is a Sanitaire with the EZ Kleen Dirt Cup…it installs with two screws and should fit your 675. Just check with Sanitaire to see if they still sell these dirt cup assemblies separately…..

Swappable parts...
Yes, there are a couple of different mounting systems for Sanitaire bags. A lot of the dump bags are held in place with a rotating latch, similar to but way smaller than a window latch. This makes for very quick and simple removal and replacement. I believe the the factory F&G and ST bag assemblies are held in place with screws as they do not need to be removed. At least this is the case with my S645, which has a factory F&G setup. The cool thing is my two Sanitaires were made some 30 years apart but have many interchangeable parts. You can rebuild one with OEM parts pretty much any way you want.
My sense is that converting away from dump bags to disposable filter bags is a far more common practice. I did this with my SC686 (early '80s model) a little over a year ago and haven't looked back. The conversion kit I used included a modified dump bag with the latch assembly with a zipper and F&G adapter added. The switch-over took about a minute, literally, and is just as easily reversible. | ||
