If you have the owner’s manual, there is a page with an illustration of the undercarriage, showing the placement of the body mount screws.
This is it.

Thank you both. I had tried those screws before but the cab seemed to still be attached to the frame. I did not want to use more force for fear of damaging the cab. Once I received your responses I decided to pry the cab off the frame. It turned out that the cab was was secured with double sided tape. Once the cab was removed I was able to apply a little oil to the motor shaft and resolve my problem. All is well. Thanks again.
You’re welcome, from me and my doppelgänger! 😜😜😜
Just be aware that when you separate the shell from the chassis, there are two lamp/lighting contacts with tiny springs attached to the shell that can pop out when the shell is separated from the chassis. The squeaking you are hearing could be a motor or drive bearing; also, make sure you check the magnet at the top of the motors as these have been known to disintegrate as well.
