DURING A CLIMBING TURN AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ENG LOST POWER & STARTED SMOKING LIGHTLY. THE PLT DUMPED HIS CHEMICAL LOAD & WAS ABLE TO CLEAR A SET OF POWER LINES. HE THEN MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A FLOODED RICE FIELD WHERE THE ACFT NOSED OVER. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT 1 OF 3 BEARINGS, PN 12768, ON THE IMPELLER SHAFT OF THE ENG BLOWER HAD FAILED. THIS ALLOWED THE SHAFT TO SHIFT FORWARD & RUB HOLES IN THE COLLECTOR CASE ASSEMBLY, WHICH RESULTED IN THE ENG FAILURE.
