Uh, Frank
Since you did not electrocute yourself (which was a very real possibility) I think you can consider the installation a succes). You came very close to winning a Darwin Award.
On a very serious note you should disconnect this machine (first disconnect power at the breaker to the outlet for the machine) put the machine back in your truck and take it to the nearest scrap metal recycling place, where you should get somewhere between $5 and $10.
I know you may consider this a loss, but you life plus $10.00 plus the learning experience is a pretty good deal given what you did.
Good luck
