More than likely one of them was dry when you put it up and one or more of the bearings pitted from the presence of moisture.. could be in the spindles or the tension idler.. my 374 had a bit of noise several years ago but a set of bearings and an idler made it quiet and smooth as can be.. My local car quest had the bearings in stock... all 6 of them were less than $40.. they use a common 6205 bearing and are really simple to replace.
Sam has some good links and tips on the 374 deck.. He posted a link earlier in this thread
