Brenda is as nice in person as she is on the phone. Was lucky enough to meet her a few years ago. Bought a 7hp Snowbee snowthrower in PA and drove another 1 1/2 hours to meet her and the staff. Also bought a Binkley-Hurst plow made for AC for my 720. Super nice people and man do they stock the parts! I ordered a lot of parts for my 720 and Brenda had all but 1 in stock! They have a Huge selection of implements for the older yellow garden tractors. She and her husband are collectors of the AC yellow garden tractors. She has had many of the parts for my 190 XTD also. Wealth of knowledge, wish they were my local dealer. My 720 and my dads D15 series II is on their website under customer pictures. They like showing off projects of their customers that buy parts from them. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Thanks guys. I enjoy my customers and getting parts for them, hard to find parts or not. My husband and I do go to the shows. We try to go to 1 GOTO a year and any other Allis feature shows we can.
It was nice talking to you today Steve.....

I spoke with Brenda for what seemed like a weekly basis while I was restoring dad's WD45 a couple of years ago. I was always surprised as to how many parts she had in stock for a 60 year old tractor.  ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

| Bought carb rebuilt kit, transmission parts, water pump and other things thru-out the years from them for our D17 IV. Good people. If they weren't so darn far away, I'd make the drive to them for whatever I need next!!!!! |

Yeah, unfortunately they're not to close to me either. They're on the other side of the state of PA. A good 5+ hr. ride one way via Rt 80 for me...

I was pleased to meet the then staff of Sandy Lake at the GOTO in NY early 2003. Great staff. Wonderful to speak with Wish I would have taken a picture. They have had and continue to have an outstanding reputation for excellent service, and quick delivery of hard to get parts. Good Luck! Bill Long

Sandy Lake has been very helpful during the work on the 4 Allis-Chalmers tractors that I have brought home and worked on. I mean parts and talking through issues over the phone too! I have met Brenda and some of the other SL staff at the office and at local shows. I probably need to send her some more Maple BBQ sauce at some point this spring.:) Sandy Lake is about 1 hour south of me. Good folks helping us with old orange tractors! Good to see Brenda posting on here too!

Since our local AGCO dealer closed about 3 years ago I started using Sandy lake as they are a sponsor of this site. Brenda has been great to work with. I have to use email as phone service is spotty where I live, no problem with them doing that. I would recommend them hands down. Lon, Boise Idaho
