I'm concerned about the 'resolve never to use both at the same time' part. That is not legal, to code, safe, or good for any future home owners.
It's just not right.
As to the 3 vs 4 prong, most driers are sold without a cord new, you buy the 3 or 4 prong cord you need seperate. As some have shown, there are different ways to set up the drier to work as 3 or 4 prong.
Again, what you did by tying in the 4 wires into the 3 wire is not real good. For all the same reasons as the 2 driers on one circut is bad.....
You shoulda wired for the 3 wire plug, and put a 3 wire cord on the drier.
I have real reservations about the 2 different issues you have created. You can make that work, but there is a lot of bad things there. It's the reason we all soon won't be able to do our own wiring any more - too many poeple make things too dangerous for unsuspecting people that enter the house.
Wiring from the main box to the new drier with 4 wire woulda not been much harder, and sure would have been a good job.
Now you got a mess, stuck in the middle of 2 problems that are not good.
This is sorta like you did a plumbing job, and tapped into any pipes you found in the wall. Yea, you can get water to flow, but is it hot water, cold water, does it drain into the septic or does it go out through the sump pump to the front lawn? It's all scrambled up now, it looks like it works, but it's messy.
I'm cheap too love to save a buck, but this wouldn't have been the place to go that route.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
