Thanks, Jay,

I do have a set of wheel weights to put on it, too. Just need to go get the bolts.

I figured out the easy way to get equal right and left tilt--stop tilting to the right when it's far enough!

It actually over travels to the right a bit. I measured the difference in travel at the blade ends and it's less than a couple inches, so it would only require a small adjustment. A half inch move in the rear pin would change the blade end to change by 2 or 3 inches. I'd have to cut that in half, a 1/4 inch move in the pin. So I figured it's not worth it at this point.

Lots of my workbenches, cabinets, tool boxes, anything less than 3 feet off the floor and not made of metal, have chew marks.

But all that chewing seems to fade away when the dogs are snuggling up to you and being affectionate. Wife says they will grow out of it. So there's hope.
