So I think what happened was the handyman out the wrong cord on it. Repair guy said main motor is burned up. Does anyone have a motor? |

I think that motor is too new, based on the "Kirkland" reference. Price Club, which became Costco, didn't exist in 1965 and the Kirkland brand has only existed for 25 or years at most, I think.
Your best bet is to get the part number off of the motor and cross reference it with on line listings, or find a donor machine from the range of years John mentioned above. |

That motor is evidently for the 27" models of Whirlpool manufactured dryers. You need one for the pre 1966 29" machine as John L. mentioned. |
