THE PLT SAID HE HAD JUST COMPLETED AN AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATION AND WAS RETURNING TO HIS BASE AIRFIELD TO RE-LOAD. WHILE IN A LOW LEVEL CRUISE, THE ENGINE QUIT ABRUPTLY, AND AN EMERGENCY LDG WAS ATTEMPTED IN A SOFT, MUDDY SOY BEAN FIELD. DURING THE LDG ROLL, THE ACFT NOSED OVER. ENGINE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A SEVERED SAFETY WIRE HOLDING A BOLT ON THE CARBURETOR FLOAT VALVE, ALLOWING THE FLOAT TO RESTRICT THE FUEL FLOW.
