'57 600 gas -- The fuel shut off located immediately under the fuel tank leaks around the screw (regardless of whether it is open or closed). Am I going to have to replace the entire component or is there something I can do to prevent gas from leaking from the screw? If total replacement is necessary, is this part readily available?

I got tired of the leaking shut-off valve on my Jubilee and replaced it with a elbow, inline filter, and a three dollar lawn-mower shut-off valve. The plastic shut-off valve is the same one you see on small power units like lawnmowers, generators and such and has given me no trouble. On your 600 there may be some clearance issues but it will work. The complete shutoff unit is readily available. My fix does away with the reserve option but I keep my tank full all the time to help keep deterioration of the inside of the tank to a minimum. FWIW

I'd be careful with the plastic filters, gets to hot, bring out the marshmellows..

Maybe my post was not detailed enough. I used an automotive inline filter and a fuel shut-off from a Briggs. My fuel tank outlet is on the opposing side of the tank from the carb, the inline filter screws into the elbow I placed in the tank outlet, then short rubber line to the cutoff, short rubber line out of the cutoff into a metal line that goes to the carb. Hope this diminishes the idea of a possibility of meltdown/fire. And I do realize that I will have to drain the tank to change the filter but it doesn't leak anymore.

On the shelf at about $35 at the Ford N/H dealer. Save yourself alot of grief and take the hood and tank off to replace it.

Terry:
That valve is probably the #1 complaint on the hundred- and early thousand-series tractors.

Problem is, even the replacement shut-off valves tend to leak.

Make sure you replace the o-ring if you replace the valve - and check the archives on the other Ford board for hundreds of similar stories.
