Default From Pusher To Tractor?

Hi, I have a 3 blade MAS pusher prop. It's just the right size I need for another airplane that has the engine mounted in a normal tractor configurations (on the front).

Can I just reverse the 3 blade pusher and use it as a tractor prop?

Main difference I see is that the hub thickness near the rear is a little thinner, but since I don't need to bore out the prop, that should not be a problem?

Thanks.

No, will not work unless you can reverse the direction the engine turns.

Thanks Rodney. Guess I'll have to pick one up from the LHS.
