How old is the furnace? Newer furnace motor's have sealed bearings and can't be oiled.

WOW! Over 40 years old. Is this a gas furnace? On most unit's the blower section would have to be removed for access.

Yea the blower section is probably original, but I'll bet the motor is newer. You could spray some WD 40 in there and see if that stop's the squealing. Check to see if the motor is screwed down tightly. It could be the blower wheel is rubbing the housing.
