Looking to buy Yanmar tractor

born and raised in the Charleston area....I heard it from both sides of the family. One of those things that has always stuck with me.

I suspect everybody from Tenn. and Ga. was raised on that.

Wanted to thank y'all...ended up buying a 2005 Massey Ferguson 1533 with 4 in 1 FEL for a pretty good price from CL. Ended up knowing the seller so I feel pretty confident about it.

Tractor is now at dealer waiting to get serviced and checked out for anything we may have missed.

your daddy never said "you must not be holding your mouth right" as you struggle with something?

Funny how some have heard this, some haven't. I never heard it until I was working for a Japanese-American building contractor, a guy raised in Hawaii inside pure Japanese-immigrant culture until he got drafted into WWII and served in the famous 442nd Batallion. That was the Japanese-American Army troops who saved the tails of an outnumbered group of American soldiers in Italy or someplace, with record heavy casualties. Interesting guy, modest, mangled English badly. I worked with him a long time before I heard about his background. He had a lot of euphemisms like that. But the funniest contractor I worked for mixed English words and the Czech (Polish?) grammar he had learned at home - realizing he was funny. " I should of stood in bed!!"
