I've lubricated all the axles & drive rods of this engine, but I still hear squeaking noises at low speeds. I don't know what part I could have missed. I'd hear the noise from the back of the engine, which makes me think the motor is squeaking.

Does it need grease? There are grease ports on the bottom.
When I tried, the gaps between the driving wheels were so tight.
You remove the screws that say grease and squeeze grease into the hole. It's a grease port.
The arrows indicate where to oil. The "grease" words show you the holes to put the grease.
Usually you can get a needle oiler down to the axle. The wheel pairs usually shift a few mm from side to side. Also you can get really tiny needles at a local farm store in the animal chemicals department. Then file or grind the sharp point off so you won't stick yourself.

The gaps pointed in the pic are for OIL. (use a needle point oiler)
The grease ports are the screws right near the label, you remove the screw to add grease and then put the screw back in.

Most likely the motor bushings. Pitman motors have brass bushings that absorb oil. Must need some new oil. The hardest part is getting the bushing behind the flywheel. You might need to remove it.
I heard that the simulated brake shoes can rub the traction tires, causing a squeak. Check that.

I just checked the brake shoes, loosened them, and gave the engine a spin. Thank you, Santa Fe 3751.
