Your outboard rest is a piece of wood at right angles to one fastened to
the
table, I should think.

I have a Jet 1442, which sit on its own legs. Nothing really to attach a
rest. It would have to be a free-standing one at the very least, without
some major surgery to the lathe itself.


Never had a handwheel, what is it useful for that a wrench on the shaft
flats or nut wouldn't do?

You'd have to pose that inquiry to Jet/Powermatic. I'd much prefer an
outboard spindle with threads to attach something.
