Columbian L6 JB three blade bronze cleaver

[paavojaelvis]

Hi, folks!
I recently acquired an old Columbian cleaver "L6 JB". Diameter is 10 1/2" and pitch looks to be around 14"-15". Hub is cushioned, 20 mm smooth bore with shear pin. Fits to some 60's OMC? Hub has spun, so I'm going to fit a 14-spline Chrysler hub and run it in my '71 Chrysler 55 hp/15ft monohull racer from the same era. I would be very happy if somebody could tell me more about this propeller.

dont knowanything about these, but looks a nice prop in pretty good shape.
hope your going to give it a nice polish up ? it deserves to shine .

must be plenty of folks out there who know these props, I am in England uk and have heard of them but never seen one.

I bet ron hill knows about these, or one of his buddies.

Measured it, pitch is 13" average. Anyway, I'll give it a try...

well worth trying it, and if its not enough pitch being bronze could be worked on easy to take it up a couple of inches by a prop shop.
plus a few other mods and make it a great prop for you motor.
plus dead easy to keep it polished and look real nice ha ha .

Cleaned it a bit with 320 grit paper. Next job is to make a press fit sleeve for the hub and put it all together. Truing and a test drive after that. Wish me luck...
