190XTD fuel sediment bowls ?

Apparently, the fuel tank on my XTD has been sweating a lot lately with our yo-yo KY weather-enough so that both of the sediment bowls filled up with water and then froze. I am 50 and have run this tractor my whole life and have never seen this happen before. One more reason to miss NY winters and hate these KY winters IMO. Luckily, the glass bowls did not break. I was none the wiser until just the other day during the latest thaw when walking the dog past the tractor, I heard something running/leaking. That was when I discovered both sediment bowls full of ice with the right hand side bowl leaking diesel fuel onto the ground. I was able to turn both valves in and then get the bowls off to get the ice out. The problem I have now is that the right side valve does not shut off the flow completely no matter how tight I turn it in. It continues to drip with the valve as tight as it will go. This is also the case even with the bowl back in place-I know the bowl isn't sealing because the gasket is shot and the bail screw is shot as well-need to order new ones. My question is: What are my chances of satisfactorily repairing/replacing just the shut off valves with both sediment bowl assemblies still in the tractor WITHOUT disturbing the fuel lines and removing the bases completely from the fuel tank?? I'd rather not replace the whole sediment bowl assemblies unless I absolutely have to due to the housing itself being busted from freezing because it is my opinion that these originals(?) are much better quality than anything new on the shelf today. TIA

Been too many years gone by, but if you have the left sediment bowl shut-off valve  turned on, it will still fill the right sediment bowl, correct ?? even tho you have the right side shut off...…..???
