JimH SW PA.
The first thing I am wondering about (maybe not fully understanding)is you say that you have a 100 amp panel "protected" by two 50A breakers. This is being fed w/ #10 wire?? What size breaker is the #10 feeders hooked to at the main Panel?? I hope not a 50AMP. #10 wire is good for 30 amps. That is the first problem.
Now.
You are backfeeding a 50A welder recepacle through a sub panel to the main panel?(this is how I am understanding it). The biggest problem I see is the following scenario....

Electric goes out. You go out the garage, hook up your apparatus to the welder outlet. Start your generator. Did you first throw your main breaker off???? Lets hope so. If you dont.....
You make injure a lineman who is trying to get your electric back on, or, if the electric comes back on, kiss your generator good bye. It most likely is going to be orbiting the earth.(blow up) I am not trying to say what you have wont work, but, wouldnt it be easier to throw a switch, start and plug in your generator and be done?? What if you arnt home, wich would be easier on your wife???
