Need Help with '66 Suburban 12 Fuel System

A couple of weeks ago, I went to an estate sale and bought what I believe is a '66 Suburban 12 tractor. I've got a buddy who's owned a couple of them and we got it fired up and running, but I've got leaks from the carburetor bowl, the sediment bowl, and the fuel cutoff. I'm thinking that I need a rebuild kit for the carburetor, a sediment bowl seal, and a rebuild for the shutoff valve if possible or a replacement for it if they can't be rebuilt.

Unfortunately, the rear tires, while practically new, were stored flat and that damaged the sidewalls, but I also got 2 new ones at the sale that are the same. I'm looking at putting some tri-ribs on the front.

Please see the photos of what I'm working with on the '66. I believe the carburetor is a Walbro as it has a fuel drain bung.

Where is a good place to source these items? Alternately, if someone could provide me with part numbers, I would be grateful.

Interesting!
Is that a David Bradley? https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/001/3/8/1383-sears-suburban-12.html

Is it this: Craftsman 91799420 front-engine lawn tractor parts | Sears PartsDirect

Does this carburetor look right?
 
I was under the impression that '66 was the first year of the Roper-built Suburbans. The frame looks just like the frame on the '67 I also bought.
 
You might already have this, and it might not be helpful, as it's from a 1969:
