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.

There weren't many tractors that would get you to the mailbox and back as fast as an N could with the OD.
