The pilot had been applying malathion to a field for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes when the engine began backfiring and running rough. A loss of engine power ensued and the pilot executed a forced landing to a field. The airplane touched down and rolled approximately 200 feet before the left main gear hit a small mound of grass and dirt. Subsequently, the aircraft nosed over. Examination of the engine revealed that the drive coupling on a magneto was partially sheared.
Probable Cause: the partial failure of the magneto drive coupling while maneuvering, which resulted in a loss of engine power and a forced landing. A contributing factor to the accident was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
