I'm probably forgetting something but have we discussed this extension previously or is that something you added for the powerfeed? If it is, how does it keep from unscrewing? I can't quite make out what the end opposite of the threads looks like from these pics or how it would engage. Maybe it's just for support and for extending a location to screw to and hold the assembly in place?shaft extension
The extension is to be able to use the handle. It came with the powerfeed kit. The extension is not installed in that photo you have there.I'm probably forgetting something but have we discussed this extension previously or is that something you added for the powerfeed?

Also, I assume since there's no extended portion that the manual handle could ride on, you decided against having a 'manual' option or is that extension piece serving both purposes?

Jamie, I acquired a Servo 150 that had been on a Bridgeport. From what I can tell, the major difference between it and one that would fit a Wells is in the depth and diameter of the top. I think this is primarily due to the (i'll call them oversized) dials on a Wells. I'm still gonna try and retrofit this one that I got to my knee but it may prove to be impossible ultimately.Servo Products - Servo 140 Z Axis Knee Power Feed for Wells Index 847 - M-0980-140 (QNMTP27610)
That part in your photo is the one I had to modify. I bored that out so it would fit on the beveled gear….Yes, if you don't mind. And if it's not too much hassle, I would love to see a pic of the other side of that bevel gear. It looks way shorter than the one I have. Just curious to see how it interfaces with this piece.
