## Discrepancy

(CAN) AT ABOUT 20 MILE AN HR ON THE TAKE OFF ROLL THE LT MAIN GEAR SPRING SNAPPED OFF ABOUT 6 " UP FROM THE AXLE, CAUSING THE ACFT TO SPIN TO THE LT AND TILT UP RESULTING IN THE PROPELLER IMPACTING THE GROUND AND A SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE ENGINE. ACFT CAME TO REST ON ITS LT WING.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE PILOT. ACFT ONLY HAD ABOUT 120 GALLONS OF SPRAY CHEMICAL ON BOARD AT TIME OF INCIDENT.
