I recently picked up my first Bridgeport Mill and it came with an 8F power feed, when I took the handle off it looks like the rod that holds the handle is too long, so where can I get the proper one, and how do I get it off?

Also how can I tell the vintage of the machine? It has an oiler on the side so I'm thinking it's somewhat newer, like 80's. Thank you guys in advance.

That looks like a standard lead screw for hand operation or using a Servo style PF. The BP made PFs used a shorter lead screw with their Pfs.
 
You will need to shorten and modify that end of the lead screw. PM me with your email information and I will dig up my drawing for the mods needed. I can scan and email to you.
