Now most of the mower decks are stamped steel and even if cleaned well after every use they rust out over time.

I bought a 5 ft woods mower for my tractor in 1980. It was rusting out in 1990. I called woods engineering and they said that was a good life span. I designed a new mower deck and bought 304 stainless steel sheets and had Ascension Sheetmetal fab the new deck. That was in 1990 and today, 34 yrs later, it still looks brand new with zero corrosion.
