THE PILOT HAD JUST COMPLETED SPRAYING A FIELD AND WAS CLIMBING TO RETURN TO HIS HOME AIRSTRIP WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. HE LANDED IN A NEARBY PASTURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE WET TERRAIN BEFORE HITTING A LOW FENCE. THE MAIN GEAR CAUGHT ON THE FENCE AND THE PLANE NOSED OVER. A TEARDOWN OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THAT THE THREE BLOWER BEARINGS, PN 12768, HAD FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FLOATING GEAR AND IDLE GEARS WERE DAMAGED.
