I work in a hardware store. Our fastener rep
(Hillman Co.) provided us with a fact sheet that definitely recommends
lubricating machine-threaded stainless fasteners so they won't gall.
According to him, a "drop of oil" will do.
If you use dissimilar metals together, I would
suggest "Never-Sieze" or equivalent.

When any of you guys use stainless
steel nuts and bolts on the mower deck motors, did you find the need to use a
thread lubricate to keep them from becoming galled together? What if I
use a standard grade 3, steel bolt with a stainless steel lock nut, any
foreseen problems with this?
