I am looking to add a 240v 50 amp circuit breaker to this panel for a welder. But (in the top left of the pic) is says that it is 40 amp max pole. Am correct to think this means i can only add a 40amp 240 volt circuit breaker?

That 40 means you have 40 spaces to use does it have a spare space for a double pole 40 amp breaker. The panel is a 200 amp panelView attachment 51880

I misread you can put a 50 amp breaker with #8 wire which is good for 55 ampsThat 40 means you have 40 spaces to use does it have a spare space for a double pole 40 amp breaker. The panel is a 200 amp panel

That is a federal pacific panel and they don’t make them anymore. If you can take one of the breakers to Home Depot they have interchangeable breakers. Please be careful and good luckI have plenty of spots left. I think 13 total. My only concern is that it is a stab lok panel.

Brandon all house panels are stab in breakers. If you want a panel with bolt in breakers you will have to go to an electrical parts house but these panels are 3 phase which you don’t wantI have plenty of spots left. I think 13 total. My only concern is that it is a stab lok panel.
