I ahve a Gravely 5665 with a K301 engine and a Carter #26 carburetor ....i purchase a new carb and it does not have a breathing tube fitting as the old one did ...is this the wrong carb or is there a re-fit for the breathing tube????

As far as I know K301 engine should've been equipped with Kohler or Walbro carburetor.

there is no marking on the carb other than the number 26 .....the issue is the fitting is on the original on for a breathing tube but no fitting on the new one

A photo would help...but, I think that the original carburetor didn't have a primer bulb on it hence atmospheric vent tube was installed. Maybe the new carb is set up for a primer bulb?
