Cleaned and lubed some bearings and the chain, replaced a few things and went for a quick ride....

Will do a few things to it, but plan to keep it ratty and enjoy it.
 
I restored this seat for the Mercury using a leather coat I scored at a thrift shop for 49 cents. I also used closed cell foam I got at the craft store for padding. I wire brushed of the loose rust and used satin clear coat on the underside to keep the patina. Sorry I did not think to take photos until it was finished. I am happy with the way it turned out. I only wish I had a men's seat to restore for the bike.
