Hi
There are at least 2 different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.
Quick overview of redesign: A dark gray 2 x 2 plate with pin underneath and a
blue 2 x 2 round plate are added to each of the machine's six legs.
You can find this info below the inventory page:

Are you suore that extra item is 3705b (threaded) and not a 3705 (normal)? In the instruction of the kit neve use the 3705b item

Nope, not sure at all! 
This part was added as an extra in 2010. Unfortunately, the Inventory Change
Requests from back then were not saved indefinitely in the forums like they are
today, so we have no information as to why this change was asked for or approved.
I honestly can't see a reason for it being in there.
Our guidelines for Extras in an inventory state:
Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.
So, to make a decision concerning whether to remove this as an extra part, I
have to somehow determine if it was originally added in error. That is going
to be tough to do after nine years removed from the actual change being made.
Any ideas on how you would proceed with this, Paul?
Cheers,
Randy

Part 3705b first appeared as a regular part in sets in 1986 according to our
catalog. So it seems strange that it appeared as an extra part in another set
two years before that. Based on that it seems that a mistake was probably made
when adding this extra.
|
But wouldn't this set have been produced at least for a few years, possibly
overlapping the introduction of part 3705b?
| | The only way to be sure would be to ask the person who added it in the first
place. But even they might not remember it after so many years.
|
I guess we could try that route.

Hi
No... that was also my first thought (my cancelled post) but have a look at the
instructions and all 5 are used as regular axle.

| | Hello everyone,
I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.
For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.
Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.
Congratulations are in order! 
Russell

A good choice
Congrats Paul!!

I can't tell. They were found in used bricks I bought. According to BrickLink:
1984-2018 (timeline of 4624 wheel).

Hi
Yes they are factory pre-assembled wheels.
The first ones that came out were glued or pressed together.
Same for the 3464c02 and 4624c01 and 4624c02.
(from 1984-85 till I think begin 90s)
Also same for the first 6015 type with the 6014a.
The rubber is also harder, the assembles are softer in rubber.
Stefaan

Were these only glued in certain regions? This time frame was the heyday of my
LEGO collecting as a child, but I can't ever recall seeing glued wheels (and
I took *everything* apart). I only ever bought sets from the US though.
Do you happen to recall any specific sets that would have had glued wheels? I
have a ton of sealed sets from this era and would like to try and see if any
of them might be glued.

Hi
They came assembled, that's for sure.
As I wrote: 'glued or pressed'
I had a lot 6015+6014a and I took them apart and there was a residue of glue
on them.
(6015+6014a begin 90s)
For the small wheel and tyre, when it's a harder plastic you can't remove
them.
Start begin half 80s when this new type wheel came out.
