On this first one for a 650, I just drew a high contrast shape with a felt pen and let a metal fabricator use his "seeing-eye" pantagraph, torch out the 3/4" metal pieces. This was done about 15 years ago.
On the second one, I made templates from sheet plastic and mailed them to a shop that does nothing but burning. In both cases, the holes are located in the plate one at a time. I use a threaded fastener with a point machined on the outside end. It goes into the tractor frame and protrudes about 1/16". The plate gets whacked against it.
All this cutting can be done with high precision with a water-jet or laser. All the fabricator needs is a good print. The cutting head is controlled with a digital file. Those with cad-cam software could probably send the file on an email.
Here are a couple more pieces professionally torch-cut. I like square cut kerfs. Some might think that the hardware was factory made.
