I think you are correct that the Sherman OD was faster than the Sherman Hi/Lo. My first tractor was a 2N with the OD. I was clocked running flat out (with my toe on the throttle butterfly) at 23 MPH a couple of times. I used to drive it down to the Am Legion on Thursday nights for cheap tacos and tap beers. First couple of times I brought a couple of wrenches along and adjusted the toe in a little. Otherwise the wheels were flapping in the breeze and it was a bit scary. About the only other use I found for the OD was snowplowing. Run it about half throttle in 1st OD gave you enough speed and faster working 3 point. I've read many times here that the Ns were only good for gathering the eggs and going after the mail. There weren't many tractors that would get you to the mailbox and back as fast as an N could with the OD.
