AC WD45 Ensign KGn1 dual fuel carburetor parts

I have a 1954, Allis Chalmers WD45 Tractor with an Ensign KGn1 dual fuel (LPG and gasoline) fuel system (photo below) that I am restoring. The tractor runs great on the LPG system, however, the gasoline system has not worked in many years. The gasoline fuel bowl on the gasoline carburetor must be replaced.

The fuel bowl has corroded away where the housing that the Strainer Cage or casting (bulbus cast brass housing is connected to the float bowl by the brass Strainer Casting Nut (photo below).

Does anyone have a float bowl for an Ensign KGn1 carburetor? Does anyone know where I should look for one? Does anyone have an Ensign KGn1 carburetor that I could buy?

I also have included a photo (third Photo below) of the left side of the tractor to show some of the progress I have made so far in the restoration process.

I would appreciate any help you can offer with getting a float bowl for my tractor or an Ensign dual fuel carburetor for my tractor.

Thank You,

Carl
 
I’ve been passively looking for some time, as we
have a WD45 LPG and a KGn1 carb, but not
running due to other problems.

Here’s what can think of right now:
Ensign is out of business. Have yet to find any
parts/kits made for the KGn1. There is a reprint of
an Ensign Carb and regulator service manual on
eBay and Amazon for $45, but I don’t know if it
covers the KGn1.
I wonder if the gas portion of the KGn1 is the same
as the gas only ensign K carb used on he JD GP? I
do see parks and kits on the web for that, drawing
of the K has some similarities to the gas portion of
the 45 KGn1.
Minn.Moline used ensign LPG produces, but IIRC
not the KGn1.
The I&T WD45 book has some good diagrams of
the KGn1 (or was that part of the photos you tried to
post, think you need to post more times to get.)
