Singer 31-15 - how to lubricate the motor?

I recently acquired a Singer 31-15 which I absolutely love except for the
screeching noise that comes from the motor. It was intermittent and not
terribly loud at first, but within a day or two it became pretty constant,
not to mention LOUD. The noise is coming from whatever you call the
rotating discs/pulleys that power the belt, immediately to the right of
the motor. I'm almost 100% sure it's just because there's no
grease/oil/whatever in there because it's not a grindy sort of noise, it's
just... you know... a screechy noise. So, if anyone happens to know what
sort of lubricant I should use and where to put it, any information would
be fabulous!
