Bowling machine motor/gearbox conversion and adaptor kit

摘要

A bowling machine motor/gearbox conversion and adaptor kit may allow people to reuse their current gearboxes by adapting the components to utilize a new motor that would make the gearbox universal instead of having different motor/gearbox combinations. The adaptor kit may adapt the gearbox portion of the motor/gearbox assembly to allow the gearbox to accept a current, new motor. A person may use the adaptor kit to repair and replace components of a bowling machine's motor and gearbox assembly.
