A lot of welders have more pins but usually only switch and potentiometer wires are needed so 5 is plenty for a remote. You would need a pedal and a plug to fit your welder socket, put up a picture of the socket and you might get some ideas like where to buy the plug. My Stel uses a 5 pin twist lock Tuchel plug like this.

Tec arc at York sell those plugs, Also on ebay, Quite pricy at around £27-00 each.
Is there any other identification other than Hobart HF Advantage (TG-201 or TG301)? It's a pretty safe bet that it's a proper remote socket that'll work with a pedal BUT beyond that it could simple, it could be complicated... my initial suggestion would be to contact SSC controls however a quick look at their site suggests this may be one of those machines that is very 'picky' regarding pedals i.e. require a higher power rheostat rather than a simple potentiometer
http://www.ssccontrols.com/TIGchart.htm scroll down to the bottom. That's the only reference i see for a Hobart with a 5 pin socket. There's a chance it might be compatible with the 5 pin Miller model as both are brands names from the same parent company but it depends how old you machine is as they haven't always been
