Salt pool store Platinum Edition Replacement for the Hayward TCell15

Replacing the Hayward TL 15 with an aftermarket part from the salt pool store. Yes the product works, but there are caveats, like a requirement for less salt in your pool. In the video I say Knoxville KY meant to say TN.

I followed your video instructions tonight, it took me maybe 20 mins and now my ‘08 NorthEdition is running like a champ. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you!
Hi - Thank you for the video. How long did shipping take? Thx!
Maybe a week or so
High concentration of TSP, let sit of half an hour, flush via drain ports. If that sounds a bit to aggressive, use Iron Out in powder form. It does the trick!!!
On the seal groove. I wonder if a lathe tool bit that instead of a cutting tool but a ball bearing off axis could be used to roll the sides of the groove down. And if a machine shop could replicate the flange bushing with a slightly undersized bore. Or if replacement axles are cheap enough not to bother. Only issue is if an undersized bushing will slide over the splines. Oh and you could make closely matched V blocks out of 6" pieces of 2x4 to have free standing v blocks to support the axle straight while measuring. Instead of in a bind
That looks like it was built to last one war and then be scrapped.
That’s why we restore them to their original glory
I like that tool set i am going to have to get one of them 👍
I have done (or have had done) engine (shop), transmission (shop), rear axle (me), and wiring (me). Front axle has made me nervous that it would be beyond my skill level, but it looks like something I can tackle. I am glad you are making these, I have referenced many of your videos for my projects. Most complicated was the coolant distro tube, I found the same solder blobs you did.
I’ll make the mistakes so you guys don’t have to. Thanks for watching.
Happy Father's Day to you too. My dad was born 16,March 1948. Also served in Vietnam. Enjoy your dad wish mine was still here.
Good job.
Thanks!
Happy Father’s Day to you too, and Jodi. 🥹you also don’t really know who they came from. Deployment….🇺🇸🫡
No Jodi, I know who my biological father is.
Good job.
Thanks!
I had faith you would have a video out tonight 😂 if it makes you feel any better i did this to a deuce and a half, all 6 ends. Very time consuming for sure. My M37 will be a walk in the park after that experience. Keep those videos coming.
Thank you
Damn Mike you look like a proctologist reaching in there to feel for the seal
Hahahahaha
Yummy knuckle pudding.
Delish
The Rye Field box art shows the turret facing the wrong direction. It should have the main gun over the left side of the hull.
Yep
I was a 88 driver back in the late 80's at 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, (now 3rd I.D.), 4/64 Armor. Man diorama brings back memories. I started off with the M60A3. It would be great if one of these companies would make a M60 tank with full interior like Rye Field did with the M1.
I used a amazon box identical for my head bolts! That's hilarious! Works perfectly!
MAN YOU ARE A SAVIOR OF MONEY!! 😅😅😅😅 we loveyaaaaa!🤣🤣🤣! THANKS!🙏🏻✅❤️
Platinum cells leave the factory with an extra coating on the internal cell plates. This causes it to read higher upon installation (usually around 1000 ppm higher). You can remove a few inches of water and replenish with fresh water. As the extra coat wears away, you should start to see the levels normalize. The extra coating will actually extend the life of the cell just like the Genuine Extra Life salt cells. Standard cells read within 500 when 1st installed but don't last as long compared to the Salt Cells with Longer Warranty. Its recommend when installing the new extended life cell to run it at 2800ppm upon startup If you have any issues please reach out anytime we are here to help.
This is information that should come with the product so the customer isn’t freaking out on you guys. Glad you saw the video. So far since this video was produced, it is still working fine.
IN VIETNAM, we did the tire breakdown and tube repair using a pick Madoc. When you fpatched the tube and went to install the tire on the rim, you place the split rim facing the ground when airing it up. 1/2 hr
Greetings: Yep, definitely laughing. "Lesson learned"? Time will tell. No worries. U were bored and figured others R also. Bsafe.
Going through the same thing right now as you. Ordered the T-Cell 9 replacement. Hope it works both for you and me.
Did it work??
@@siestakeygirl1000 haven't got it yet. Should be in this week.
@@siestakeygirl1000 got it today and installed it. Working great so far. It does read about 800ppm high from the real amount of salt in the pool.
I am trying to recalibrate my salt level and it won't let me. And because the salt level is so high it won't generate. Ps does it matter which direction the generic cell is placed??
Don’t think it matters but the cable side on my old one was the inlet
I had same issue. Replaced battery and starter. Got 3-4 good starts. Doing same thing again.
does anyone know what the " flat nuts" are called so i can order some or find some instore
This looks very similar to a Chrysler 8.75" Hotchkiss type... The lube oil does travel twds the outer bearings by wrapping around the axles and traveling outboard... The sludge on the inside of the housing is a wax paste that has become klinged-on to it and the axles... The spindle carriers are the closed knuckle types and the main oil seals will be located on one of the case halves (probably the outboard) of the spindle carrier assembly... Also check for 'garlock' type seals on the case half pivot points... The exploded parts diagram is a good way to see what orientation the parts are installed, and their identification. And it is a good idea to read and understand the text of procedures of how to properly inspect, adjust & replace these parts... The manual that you used, is probably one of the most important tools of how to properly service & repair these expensive and now-Rare parts & equipment.... P.S.-The self locking fibre ring type of nuts , used to secure the 3rd member to the axle housing are probably authentic for this old vehicle, As those were OEM spec'd. prior to the more recent use of 'Nylon' to retain the nuts , even during severe vibration.... The method to test , if those nuts are still good is to Turn them onto a clean bolt (3/8-24 in this case). by using the fingers only.... If they can be turned by bare fingers, they need to be replaced, and if they can not be turned by bare fingers, they CAN be re-used... Always use the OEM parts whenever possible... This includes the hardware.... These rare classic vehicles are much more valuable , when equipped with their OEM Parts and hardware....
Thanks for the info
I have heard/read many bad reviews of these cells. Low life expectancy, not honoring warranties….. and some decent reviews. I guess when you pay less than 1/2 price of a new Hayward, your mileage may vary. Did you test you salt level with another tester? Like Taylor K1766 test? I find my Hayward S3 reads my salt at 3400, my digital hand tester says 3200, and Taylor drop test says 3,000. Thanks for the review and smart “bench” test!
Yes I have a digital meter. Unit is still running fine
@@WatsonsModels Good to know…I’ll give these guys a shot when I need a new cell!
Best vid
Thank you
Their address says Knoxville, Tennessee, not Kentucky. My fault in the video.

Hmmm. Think of putting numbered tags on the sprues? Helps with other models like this.... Nice collection, BTW, great envy here. I love the level of detail that you incorporate into your models - really makes them alive!
Thanks
Counted 19 jeeps on the way in home 15 miles away. It's almost like as@holes, everyone has one.
the tiger of andy headquarter its very the best of hobby boss tiger
Good job
Your outer seals were leaking, that's why the gunk was inside. Grease mixed with the differential oil.one of my previous comments I mean DOT5 in the braking system not the axles.😂 was tired when I posted it. DOT 3 draws moisture into the braking system causing corrosion and more maintenance. Truck is looking great. I have room for it when you're finished. 😂😂😂😂😅
Both axles had a floating ring on the shaft
@@WatsonsWagons I'm assuming your outer seals lost the spring that was what was on the shaft. Or maybe an older seal left a spring in there somehow. I've never been into a M37 yet but rebuilt an entire drivetrain on my buddies WC12 Dodge. Pretty much same setup. Except for the 80+ years of crud lol. I completely rebuilt center chunks, 4 axle ends, Transmission, transfer case, and driveshafts. A very nice accomplishment first time I had to get into one. Best of luck. Keep videos coming. Great work. Not too far from you in VA
Those nuts are not original. Should be a thick nut very square on both ends.
Use DOT5 brake fluid when you put it back together. It will help you in the long run. Less maintenance and no rust.
What manual is that and where did you find it, I’ll be doing mine this summer to clean it up and inspect it for wear and any hidden problems so thanks for this video it gives me a heads up on what to expect
Google search TM 9-8030 and ORD 9 SNL G-741
I always recommend Portrayal press, for all my educational needs.
My sister had one and it exploded on her, I'll stick with gas lol
Good video brother,clean it up,stick it back together,new fluid and your good to go:-)
That's the plan!
Thank you sir 👍🏻
My family used to own this M151a1 sometime 1968. That howling noise is ur rear differential. We conclude it is a manufacturing defect of this particular vehicle. What we did is rebuild & reposition the differential body mounts wc is three. Reposition it to 180 degrees or fr 12:00 to 6:00 position...just as the same position as the front differential. Howling sound is gone forever w no bad effects... Howling sound is gone
2014 Chevy Silverado and same issue! Why GM made the grounds they did is crazy. Also have one underneath your driver side dash that you can clean. Replaced battery and alternator and still had same issue go to crank and no power. Clean all the grounds and check your starter. My truck has 146,000 miles on it. Love the Chevy truck but location of grounds needs to improve. Great video
A deeper problem is the post coming off of the starter to the solenoid. Basically a strap mounted to a stud had lots of corrosion on it. I had to clean all that off and put fresh washers in. It was arcing, and that arching caused the system to shut down.
Well I have collecting down to a science with means my house and huge garage look like a hobby shop. But I only have 3 huge shaves full of built models.
Vintage power wagons rebuilt my Trico vacuum wiper motors and did a really great job with them.
You are obviously into tanks 😂 you might like this RUclips channel i watch, Mr Hewes. Its how we do things here in England. PS please keep the videos coming 👍
I’ll check it out thanks
Cool
When welding on cars do you just disconnect the battery?
Avoid welding near electrical systems or with the battery connected. Make sure the battery is disconnected and all systems are shut down before the welding process. Electric current flowing through from the welder can damage or short circuit electrical components.
Didn't expect another video so soon but excited you did. Keep on pushing because I'm excited to see it go back together.
