IMO someone replaced the cord and plug long ago with a standard range cord so they could use it on their range circuit. | |

I'd say since the welder has a NEMA 10-50P plug on it, you'll have to plug it into a proper NEMA 10-50R receptacle. Which means you'll have to install a neutral. You could contact the manufacturer, and see if you could replace the plug and receptacle with NEMA 6-50 devices. Or try and find a schematic for the device, and determine if it uses the neutral at all. | |
