On takeoff roll from grass strip on a no-wind; dry; early morning; [the] little C150 begun to pull to the right. I tried to correct by applying left rudder and brake but aircraft kept pulling to right; turned 180 degrees and stopped at right side off runway in brush. The left gear was completely detached with the rudder cable broken.
Reporter stated it is possible the landing gear had some previous damage that contributed to the control problem and subsequent failure.
A C150 pilot reported losing control on takeoff roll; ground looping and leaving the runway which resulted in damage to left gear.
