Narrative:
The airplane sustained substantial damage during a forced landing. The pilot reported that the engine failed at 3,000 feet mean sea level during cruise flight. While on his landing roll on a sod field, the airplane struck a concrete marker and the airplane nosed over. The inspection of the airplane revealed the accessory gear drive was fractured in two pieces and had become dislodged from the crankshaft. A metallurgical examination of the accessory gear drive revealed a fatigue fracture at the key way.


Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power due to the fatigue fracture of the engine accessory gear drive. A factor was the concrete marker.
