Perhaps in writing the post I didn't phrase it clearly. is using stainless 304 bolts with the mild carbon steel of cub mower decks, snowblower, tiller etc, cause a problem with rotting the steel around the bolt holes?
I was making a post on another group about rebuilding another tractors deck and replacing all the rusted up bolts with stainless carriage bolts so the clipping won't build up and the bolts won't rust and become unremoveable. Guy confidently replies to me and other person that I shouldn't do that and it will rot out the holes.
I understand how galvanic corrosion works, but these aren't immersed in water because it's not a boat or plumbing.
