Hey all, I'm doing a short film about the adventures of a toy catapult and need a "squeaky wheel" sound, preferably something that sounds wooden. Any ideas?

maybe leather ... http://www.freesound.org/people/Timbre/sounds/78582/
Yeah, I searched extensively and couldn't find anything that really worked. That's why I posted a request here.
Anyone have an idea for making this sound effect? You can get a really good idea what I'm looking for if you imagine a miniature catapult trundling along with wheels in need of greasing.
How miniature should it be? I mean in terms of scale. Is it a catapult the scale of toy soldiers, or perhaps another size?
I think I have an idea of what you want it to sound like (like any slow vehicle with wooden wheels in cartoons?)
I tried turning http://www.freesound.org/people/ScottFerguson1/sounds/131038/ into a loop, but that sounded like a rusty water pump from hell. Then I got the thought that mills and mechanical grinders are probably used as foley for such sounds. What do you think?

Hoscalegeek, the toy I am looking at obtaining for the film is around a foot long, so not tiny but obviously still very miniature. I think, though, the sound I'm looking for would sound more like a full-size catapult. I think it might work best if the sound effect is less realistic (considering it's just a toy) and more dramatic.
qubodup, excellent, thank you. I knew there had to be something out there that would work and I just wasn't thinking of a clever way to search for the sound I wanted. I like the trundling sound of:

I might try to work some squeaking into there, but that should be a minor addition...
Gives me a starting point.

The individual elements used to make cogzillia's are in this pack ...

Excellent, thank you, Timbre. I think I'm on the right track with these ideas. Just another 1,000 small hurdles yet to overcome...
Welcome to film-making!
