Title: Northstar Thread repair kit J-42385-2030
Post by Earl Davis on Oct 18^th, 2010 at 9:07am

I got this from a dealer close out and I have no use for it.

The kit is missing J-42385-303 not sure what that is and J-42385-301 there again I do not know what that is.

I can post a picture if anyone is interested.

Hi Danny,

Take a look at the link I posted below, it is a good explanation of what the tool kit is used for.

Danny,

I was not sure what I was missing, until you ask about the kit. I did some research and found out what the missing items were.

It sounds like it is probably not very useful without these pieces.

Thanks
Earl
