During an agricultural application flight, all engine power was lost. The pilot made a forced landing on a nearby rough field, and during the landing rollout the airplane nosed over. An examination of the engine revealed that a gearbox component broke, which made the fuel control inoperative and resulted in fuel starvation.
Probable Cause: Fuel starvation due to the failure of an engine accessory component. A contributing factor was the rough terrain.
