Where does this prop go?

[aieo]

I have a prop, no idea for what type it's for. It's in excellent condition.

Does anyone know what it's for?

Here is the info stampoed on the hub. Prop is 74 3/4" long. Eight bolts.

On the prop, following info:

McCauley KlipTip Met-L-Prop
SN# 6834
DES. IA 170
7654
TC 857

I can e-mail a photo.

It usually goes on the front of the airplane. Bolted to the crankshaft.

You asked. :-)

There should be more letter/number combinations after the 1A170 but
basically it is approved for any normal category tractor type
aircraft. The type certificates show various Stinson, Piper, Cessna,
Aeronca types as being eligible for the 1A170 style propeller.

Some of our more irrational friends bolt it to the top of the craft.

And some of the more creative ones put a clock in it and hang
it on the wall.

I have a McCauley Kliptip 71-44 I made into a floor lamp back when
we got married 30 years ago. Hideous thing, but my dear wife doesn't
like to trash anything I build. Got to watch what I make, now.

Thel number on the next line I believe is the rest of the number.
It's the diameter and pitch which.
