THE PIC WAS POSITIONING HIS AG ACFT FOR A SPRAY JOB WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD A PBLM WITH THE ENG. A PRECAUTIONARY LNDG WAS DECIDED ON, BUT THE LNDG RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL DMGE TO THE ACFT. A SPRAY PUMP, POSND BENEATH THE ENG COWLING WHICH ROTATES BY MEANS OF A WOODEN PROPELLER HAD FAILED GIVING THE PIC THE IMPRESSION THAT HE HAD SUSTAINED A PARTIAL ENG FAILURE. DESPITE THE VIBRATION, THE ACFT WAS CAPABLE OF FLYING TO THE PROPOSED DESTINATION.
