Comments from Submitter:
The early version of this set (with foldout instructions) has a slightly different steering assembly. Details attached in the following post.
|
I started the project of fixing this inventory shortly after becoming a BrickLink
member in 2008, and today it has finally been completed! The box I had at the
time showed a different steering system, and I could never reconcile the 590
piece count no matter what way the wheels or other parts were counted. In fact,
I ended up adding pieces to the inventory, making the discrepancy even more noticeable.
As I dug deeper, I discovered four distinct versions of the set - two prototpye
versions, and two production versions. The inventory changes above reflect the
production versions. It's interesting to see that the parts "removed" from
the inventory for the later production version are present in the Extras section
(2 axle 4's and 2 spacers).
Below I have put together a presentation, complete with images, to illustrate
my theory on how all the evidence fits together. Expert Builder enthusiasts,
please feel free to download this information and test it out!

_____________________________________________________________
TIMELINE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SET 853 / 956 AUTO CHASSIS
(approx. 150 parts / pre-construction, 1976) - A new Technic system is
developed from the existing Gears system, and the first 4 set numbers are assigned
(850, 851, 852, 853). A core inventory of parts is developed for the flagship
model, the Auto Chassis: 100+ technic parts plus a token number of 1 x 4 and
1 x 6 plates, both new parts in 1977. A balanced selection of technic parts plus
standard elements of the type used in the Hobby theme are available as needed
to complete construction.
(577 parts / “catalog” prototype, 1976) - The Auto Chassis prototype is
built, with an old-school steering mechanism made from Technic plates. Conspicuously
absent is the spacer immediately under the steering wheel and the one right at
the nose of the engine on the “fan”. Also absent are three blue 1 x 2 plates
on the top of the engine block, between the cylinders. The parts from the prototype
model are used to build several alternate models - a dragster, jeep, semi, lathe,
and scissor lift. None of the alternate models have working steering. Photos
are taken of these models, and early catalogs and ads containing these photos
are sent to press. See BL large image of set 956:
(590 parts / “box” prototype, 1976) - The 2 x 2 turntable is invented
to enable steering at a smaller scale, and a complete set of 6 turntables is
added to the official parts list of the Auto Chassis set. A spacer on the steering
column is also added and another on the front of the “cooling system fan” axle.
Another spacer is added to each steering wheel axis, and three blue 1 x 2 plates
are added to the engine block. An alternate model using the turntables goes into
development: the “Go-Cart” model, the informal predecessor of the famous blue
Go-Cart, set 854.
At this point (590 parts) the boxes for both European and US versions go into
production. Many of the box images, both photos and drawings, were generated
during the previous stage of development.
(597 parts / early production, 1977) - The steering in the main model
is reworked to use turntables, adding six parts: two 2 x 2 plates and four 1
x 2 technic bricks. A 1 x 4 blue plate is also added, presumably as a redundant
part. Instructions for the Auto Chassis and Go-Cart are drawn in the old-style
foldout format, with no step inventories. The difficult assembly process is used
as a “positive” in marketing materials. Set 853 goes into production with 597
regular parts and 12 extras.
(606 parts / late production, 1978) - The steering system is modified
again, adding another 9 parts: 8 for the wheel axes plus an additional pin in
the steering column support. Four parts (two 4 length axles and two spacers)
are “removed” from the official build but are still included in the set, allowing
backwards compatibility with previous versions, the diagrams and photos of which
are still preserved on the box. Along with the 9 additional parts, a special
instruction sheet is included, showing how to rebuild the steering system with
the provided parts.
After the supply of the old-style foldout instructions is exhausted, Lego produces
a new set of instructions bound in an A4-size booklet, with simplified building
sequences and step inventories for the main model. These instructions only show
the newest way of building the steering mechanism. The set continues to be distributed,
now with 606 regular parts and 12 extras.
The US version, set 956, is released for distribution. For whatever reason (patent,
copyright, or otherwise) US boxes were never updated and always showed a piece
count of 590. European boxes had no piece count.

I owe this set in mint condition. The dots are trans-NEON-green.

Shouldn't there also be a red steering wheel?

Comments from Submitter:
The 14-tooth bevel does not fit part 6585; only the 12-tooth does.
|
All post-1994 inventories containing the 14-tooth gear should be examined for
this error, for example:
where the image clearly shows 12 teeth.

I also confirm my set 6882 has 792c02.
It's possible that
needs to have 792c02 as an alternate. My 6940 built model does have a hole.
I also checked
and my built models have
![Part No: 792c01 Name: Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with 2 Rectangle Holes with Arm (792 / 794 / 795) Part No: 792c01 Name: Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with 2 Rectangle Holes with Arm (792 / 794 / 795)](https://img.bricklink.com/P/1/792c01.jpg) * | ![](/images/dot.gif) | 792c01 (Inv) Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with 2 Rectangle Holes with Arm (792 / 794 / 795) Parts: Arm |
Although the instructions seem to show the hole on top, I have 3 of this model
without the hole on top.
|
I only have 3 LG and 2 Blue from 6880-1, 6882-1, and 6951-1.
Is 792c01 a more recent version than 792c02 or are they (almost) concurrent as
shown in the catalogue? (1980-1986/7)
|
I am rather certain these parts were not released concurrently and that the one
with a hole in the top was the original part due to its being from the same molds
as the Homemaker torso:
![Part No: 792c03 Name: Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with Round Top Hole with Arms (792 / 793 / 795) (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Torso Assembly) Part No: 792c03 Name: Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with Round Top Hole with Arms (792 / 793 / 795) (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Torso Assembly)](https://img.bricklink.com/P/1/792c03.jpg) * | ![](/images/dot.gif) | 792c03 (Inv) Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with Round Top Hole with Arms (792 / 793 / 795) (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Torso Assembly) Parts: Arm |
Considering the fact that the torso parts were distributed separately in some
markets, it may be time to start thinking about adding the inventories of these
assemblies to the system.

Verified in multiple sealed sets. Colour shown on box art is also LBG.

Would you also mind checking the type of helicopter rotor. There was a change
in Duplo rotors around this time at the point of connection, and this has not
been documented yet on BL.

that's correct, good found
|
I've got to agree with that. I've built this model many times in nearly
40 years and I don't remember ever putting that piece on top of the wagon.
But why is this plate needed there? I can't figure out any visual reason
for it being necessary. Is it possible that it's actually holding together
a 2x4 and a 2x6 brick (replacing the 2x10 brick)?
|
I believe it is meant to represent the cap on the fuel tank. The 2 x 6 brick
didn't come along until much later (1990).

Russell,
When the checkboxes are present, a blue bar pops up across the bottom of my browser
with "Cancel" and "Save Changes". It took me a while to notice it because it
doesn't look like part of the website.

You're right, I didn't see that before. Thanks!

| Hello Everyone,
In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.
Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.
The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017. At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.
Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support
