Steve, 

 I use stainless bolts on all replacement work on my ElecTraks, rust is not
a problem then. On stainless use a lubricant when you bolt them up so that
you do not "gall" the threads on removal. Make sure you put the new bolts 
in
up-side down, heads in the deck and nuts on top. This way grass has less to
get caught on under the deck, the treads do not suffer damage, and the nuts
should be easier to use a socket on but I am not sure about the socket
thing. Try it and see. I had to use open end wrenches, box wrenches and on
one deck a cutting torch to remove those old rusted bolts!

 New fasteners make to very easy to work on your ElecTrak!
