I'm thinking the numbers are stamped into the plate. The plate then riveted to the tool box. Anyone that has a number stamping set with the correct size of number stamps, could do the stamping for ya. If you can't find/know of anybody that can do it, you could probably buy the tooling to do it yourself.
For what it's worth, the tractor had serial number stamped in three locations. The plate, the top of left frame rail, and a flat space on the block. A huge percentage of the time, all three of these numbers (from factory) would match. If these numbers don't all three match today, the tool box, the frame rail, or engine block has been swapped out over the years. OR, ... there is the SLIM possibility they didn't match in the beginning from factory. USUALLY, if they didn't match from factory, they would be reasonably close (not production years apart). Bottom line, if all three numbers don't match (old serial number plate included), I don't think I would worry much about even having the new one stamped. Years from now, anyone who sees mis-matched numbers might just assume the tool box has been changed. Won't take anything for granite.
