The whole head was immersed in river water. I don't know if it got dirty or
clean as a result, but it did get wet for sure. Walt's suggestion might
make better sense than using an actual grease. Maybe a bit of WD-40. The
side to side tilt joint definitely had grease originally. The joint that is
tight now is a collar that clamps down on a cylinder about the diameter of a
dime and about an inch long.
Thanks for the suggestions Walt, Gord, Jim. I'll just try stuff.

Hi Joel:
Are the surfaces all clean and smooth? If not that should be step 1, As for
lube I'd be more tempted to go with a bike chain lube and wipe it off so
that there is only a fine amount.
No expert but you arre not alone.
