These are what I used on a customer's 1983 782 with the series II KT17 a few months ago:

Thank you 1811Cub!
I think this would be a good time to install a fuel filter. Looks tight. What do folks do? Looks like there’s a mechanical pump. Fuel comes out if the he line isn’t plugged. Is that ok? Would it be worth while to go electric on fuel pump? The reason I’m tearing into it is that it is one cold blooded mofo. I’ve gotta run with it choked for several minutes. Runs and starts great once she’s warm. There was junk in the float bowl.
I’m soaking in fuel oil overnight to get rid of the grease. Then I’ll give her an all nighter in carb cleaner.
Is there a gasket kit? The carb kit looks sparse.

From your picture you will need a Kohler rebuild kit for a Walbro carburetor depending on the number on the carb. You can go here Kohler carb Manual
As for the filter there is one on the shutoff valve already All parts are available from our sponsors above.

My customer's 782 had the Carter fully adjustable carb. The Walbro is a fixed high speed jet style, and in my opinion, pure trash. I would be seeking a much better Carter/Kohler fully adjustable unit. Those carb parts I listed are for the Carter/Kohler style carb.

Think I’ll get this cold start problem resolved and consider a Command swap. Think my issue is mechanical pump is weak. It doesn’t shoot fuel out when I turn engine over. It’s more of a gurgle. You know your ****!

Thank you. I would eliminate the mechanical pump, since they have been known to fill the crankcase up with gasoline.
I forgot to include the intake manifold to carb mounting gasket for the Carter/Kohler brand carb:

What is the command out of?
Looking at a 1864 which has the 18 Command and a GT3100 which has a 23 Command. Think I’m better off getting an entire tractor.

The 1864 is a sweetheart of a GT. I can take or leave a 3000 series. The Command 20 for my 582 was from a 2206. I felt no guilt whatsoever parting that one out. Other than the engine, the rest of it was very underwhelming.
