While on a local flight, the 857-hour private pilot experienced a partial loss of engine power. The pilot turned the airplane 180-degrees and was attempting a return to the originating airport when the 65-horsepower engine lost oil pressure. Realizing that a complete loss of engine power was imminent, the pilot elected to perform an emergency landing to a grassy field. During the landing roll the airplane encountered a ridge and the tailwheel equipped airplane nosed-over, coming to rest in an inverted position. The pilot reported that the engine had accumulated a total of 106 hours since its last overhaul. The reason for the loss of engine power was not determined.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
