From the wording of your posts it sounds like you are assuming that the Sherman unit is a complete replacement for the factory transmission. This is not true- the factory 4 speed transmission remains in place on the tractor. The Sherman Over, Under and Combo units are small gear boxes that replace the original input shaft on the factory 4 speed. They fit between the clutch and the transmission. A hole must be drilled through the original transmission bellhousing for the Sherman shift lever shaft to protrude through.
Just trying to clear up the misunderstanding of what a Sherman is. If you already knew this then please disregard.

I had no idea it was an add-on component. I appreciate the information because I was thinking it was a completely new transmission that they were replacing the original transmission with.

Do you know if this adds value to the tractor or does it deduct value? Would the tractor be considered original to a collector or a tractor club? I plan on keeping it for a long time to mow with but I just like to know what I have.

I don't think the factory installed the Shermans- they were added by the dealer after he took delivery or they were installed later by an owner. To a purist seeking a "Factory Original" tractor it would detract from the value but to a collector of "Working" tractors it should add value because a tractor equipped with a Sherman was more useful than one without it.
