It is not legal. Dryers, before 1996, were not required to have a separate
neutral and ground. You will be sharing them and that is a bad idea. You also
have the amperage problem.

This only an issue if the item hooked to the circuit has a 120V motor
along with other parts that are 240V.

All of the 220V circuits in my new house are just 3 wire except the dryer
circuit. This all passed electrical inspection.
