Here's a different thought. My wife had a lot of issues with joint pains, etc., and assumed she was getting arthritis. Turns out not too long ago a dietician determined that she had a intolerance to the gluten in wheat (also in barley and rye). Removed all foods containing gluten from her diet, and all the problems went away within a few weeks. Feels better than she ever has.
There's a DNA test that can determine if you have a gene that predisposes you to gluten intolerance. Turns out my wife had two copies, got one from each parent. You can order it on-line...I don't think conventional doctors will prescribe it.
There's a lot of info on-line about gluten free diets. As with anything else, you have to kind of sort through a lot of nonsense to get to the good stuff. Do a search on "celiac sprue", which also requires a gluten free diet as treatment, and you'll find a bunch of info.
The gluten free diet is a real pain, because there's gluten in all sorts of stuff you wouldn't expect, but it sure made a difference.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
