Hi there,
I really took a closer look at it this time with a magnifying glass and there are no sprockets in evidence. I'm guessing that the part with the sprockets was fixed/glued to the outside of the wheel? I tried attaching a picture here but couldn't figure how to make it work. Instead I used a photobucket account to show it -

I also tried as you suggested first up and the auto threader won't stay down unless the machine has been set to run forward.
Thanks
