Rotary converter for a welder

I didnt think rotation direction would matter , but it doesn't hurt to ask :)

The welder is a Miller Sr-150-32 Cc 150 amps dc only .
I had to go to Cleveland last week and decided to stop at hgr surplus.
And couldn't pass it up for the huge price of $49 +tax
It didn't come with any of the tig welding stuff , but it did have 25 Feet of leads for stick welding with it .
 
Almost finished , I need to wire up an on/off switch for the pony motor and add a few cable clamps and I'll be all finished .

I did test it today , with no load I have 223v on L1. 246v on L2 and 233v on L3
I only added capacitance between L1 and L2 ( 138 uf )
I'm still unsure if I need to add it between L3 and L2 along with how much . I guess I'll see how the welder works before I get to worried about it .

Total cost so far using junk I've scavenged over the years .. maybe $130-$140 .

A bit ugly and mounted on a skid because I don't have a permanent spot for it yet
