Mysterious lever

I believe I have a 46 2N tractor or at least an engine block from what I read, from that year, I am a relatively new light user and had a question on a lever by the right steering arm. When I move it the transmission makes a higher frequency louder pitched sound and the tractor seems to go faster in same gear. Overdrive? I’m just trying to be as knowledgeable about the tool as I can be. What is it and how do I properly use it when working the tractor with Countyline shredder and blade. I’ve included pics. What say you fine bunch of tractologists?

Smith's auxiliary transmissions.
 
Curiosity strikes .... my overdrive lever is on the left side
Were there different aftermarket manufacturers?
A friend has an N with the hole, but no lever - anyway to tell if a conversion is in there?

Go to the link I posted in Reply #4 and peruse the information there.
 
You would use the overdrive to drive the tractor a fair distance to where you are going to use it, and then out of overdrive to use whatever implement you're using.
 
My Step-Up Sherman transmission lever is on the Left side, knob is right in front of the toolbox (9N)
