I think you've been provided with some good information so far.  I 
find that one way to figure this out is to consider extreme 
cases.  If the drive wheels were just the diameter of a pencil, you 
can imagine them spinning like crazy and the mower would barely 
move.  And if the drive wheels were huge, imagine how fast the edge 
of that drive wheel would be flying by, and how fast it would then 
make the mower go.  That's the way my mind works anyway.  Or you can 
just ask us.
