regarding above mentioned problem... tell me if you all think this will work. Excuse the crudeness of my drawing, hopefully you get the jist...
unbolted the stand and slid it back until it was level. if I put a wedge under it and a metal brace where the blue line is, think it will work? do it to the other side, and there ya go... even steven right?

With the outrigger wheels, it will be wider than the motor is long, so no tipping. that's what I'm going for anyway.
