No Mike, no reference to the Kennedy's. The original owner was John Robert Horne. He owned and took good care of it until age and poor health made it so he could not take care of the tractor any more. After five years of it sitting in the barn I very fortunate enough to become the new owner of the tractor, mowing deck, and push blade. I promised Mr. Horne that the 416-8 would live with me as long as he was alive so that he would always know where it was at and and was being cared for. So far I have been true to my word and Mr Horne is about 80 years old now and every time I see him he ask about that tractor. With a big smile on my face I tell him its sitting in my pole barn gassed up and ready for him to put it to work. So anyway, I named the tractor John Robert, and there the story of how it got the name.:handgestures-thumbupright:
