These big wheels came assembled in these early technic sets as the design of
the box confirms this too.


I owned this set in my childhood and one light gray 3736 was included. At the
time, I thought this part was included for adding a motor to the second motor.
See photo attached. But I didn't know the inventory of 960 or 870 motor sets
and this part was also included there.

Finally, I found at least one mistake I had mentioned here:

The two blue 2*12 plates on the top of the wheels should be blue not light gray!

Yes, they came assembled in the sets, but this was for display purposes. In the
instructions it is very clear that they are considered separate parts. As per
the rules, this means they should not be listed assembled in BrickLink inventories:

Part Assemblies - Part assemblies should be included in the Regular Items section
of set inventories only when the assemblies in question come pre-assembled in
the set box. For example, 2429c01 should be included in set inventories rather
than 2429 and 2430. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as certain large
animal assemblies. Another exception is when an item is pre-assembled for the
purpose of box display.

I also owned this set and did not have an extra steering wheel (that I can remember).
The steering wheel shown in the instructions comes from the motor pack.

So the steering wheel can be considered as extra?

How can we know/decide if this wheel came assembled with tires for display purposes
or they just came assembled like some other types of wheels?

Also, in the set 8849, the wheels did not come assembled however they are there
for display.
