Well, you inspired me to try greasing it again. Disasembled the whole thing this time and used some vintage K22 silicone lubricant on everything.
So far its quiet.
Last time I tried greasing it was at a service station/garage somewhere in backcountry Mississippi. it worked for about two days, then started again. The lubricant I used this time should be a little better than the grease gun I was loaned. I also used their grinder to alter a box end wrench to adjust the tension. The Mechanics on duty must have thought I was some sort of crazy person.
