My dryer seems to be a 279827 motor,

That number means nothing to me. Where is it from?


Is it possible to just pickup a cheap
used 220v machine and rip the motor out for use in my 110v dryer?

It must have the same mounting and the same shaft size, same RPM, same
Horsepower.


If so,
would the connections on the motor from the 220v machine be the same?

No. Some motors are dual voltage though. I have no idea about the one you
have or will obtain.
