Hi Guys, received a new Troy BT200 today and I think it was assembled wrong? From the operators view LF wheel is driven, The RF wheel is not, RF wheel looks the same as the rear wheels & does not match the LF wheel. There is an exposed gear that is turning when the LF is driven (see pics) but this gear does not engage any part of the RF wheel. In fact, the RF wheel looks like another rear wheel? I'm confused. Any help appreciated. Is this mower a one wheel drive? Or did some new guy put the wrong wheel on this?

No brainer, take it back under warranty, that's a non drive wheel. Don't screw up your warranty by trying to fix it yourself.

Thanks for the solid advise, not worried about warranty. Mechanically inclined. This was a mail order buy. Do I just need a drive wheel? Thanks in advance.

Contact snapper, show the pics, explain where purchased and they will probably send you a new drive wheel.
