My dryer is making a terrible noise, appliance gurus please help

Just moved back in my house from damage to Ida and got my dryer all hooked up. As soon as I turn it on, it starts this loud grinding noise. I figured it was the rollers and idler arm, so I replaced those. After that didn't do anything I changed the rear felt seal, that also didn't work. I just checked the blower and it is spinning fine. I've exhausted the Google searches at this point. Can someone give me some guidance? Here is a link to the dryer running with the noise LINK
It is an old Kenmore 110.64722400 70 series electric dryer. It came with my house when I bought it 10 years ago so unknown on the age of it.

Did you try spinning the drum by hand? It may be the front seal

Possible rear bearing failure. Easy fix, but you'll have to pull the drum.

I changed both bearings out and replaced the rear seal.
Forgot to mention it will shut off after about 15 seconds of letting it run like that.

Yes I can get it to spin by hand, when it reaches a certain point it gets kind of rough and acts like it's hitting some turbulence.

I fix a dryer that was making a noise when the drum was turning. When I took the drum out, I found a big nail sticking through a vent hole in the drum.

You have a really bendy index finger. That's all I got.

Think I figured it out, motor is bad.
