Default 89 Cherokee ac grinding

When my AC is on I hear a grinding noise but not when the unit is turned off. It cools as good as ever. Any ideas?

Compressor clutch is probably at the end of its life.

It may just need oil, especially if you have charged it lately without adding any compressor oil.
