I took a seat off a busted MTD and used it on my 1250. I just cut two plates of 1/8 steel and drilled holes that matched the seat holes from the MTD. The plates act as a big washer and let ya attach the seat to the springs from the old one.. One on each side, going front to back, about 3 inches wide and 5 inches long... It still can adjust fore and aft, and it is very solid once bolted up. Sure beats having my rear end beat up by the no padding original.
Cob job, I know, but it works fine and if I ever find the right seat cover for the original seat I haven't destroyed anything.
You should be able to do someting similar for yours. And if teh padding is not too good on the new seat, one of those chair cushions that Walmart sells for a few bucks will also do the trick cheaply.
Unless you need the carb, I wouldn't bother buying it.. Even with considerable shaft play they will run fine, and there is an easy cure for the shaft play.. search for carb washer repair...
