For the seat, I'd recommend making your own, at least until you have the rest restored. Get some 3/4 plywood, give it a couple good coats of exterior paint and let it dry real good. Then get a "camping pad" that's about 3 ft by 6 ft by 3 or 4 inches of open cell foam, and go to the fabric store and get some naugahyde. Cut the plywood about 3/8 inch undersize of the final cushion, cut pieces of the pad (if you anticipate a BIG feller using it, the seat should maybe have two thicknesses of foam) a little larger than the plywood, then cut naugahyde big enough to wrap it all up. The naugahyde gets attached to the plywood with staples from an electric staple gun. You'll probably need to drill a couple holes in the plywood for the seat to let air out when you sit down on it. I did the seat back and bottom for my IH 300 Utility, figure I have about $12 invested ($3 for the pad, $9 for the naugahyde, I had a piece of plywood already). Reason I did my own was because I'm cheap and I could laminate 3 pieces of 1/4 inch plywood over a form to make a curved seat back, and couldn't find one like I wanted anywhere.
