Pulled circuit breaker and reset, cycled gear handle gear motor did not run, gear up light still on. Flew past tower and asked for visual, tower said no gear at all. Climbed to 2500 vectors from tower for time to resolve.
Checked gear fluid found none, added about 20 ounces still not on dip stick. Pulled circuit breaker, gear handle down, pumped hand pump but no resistance, continued pumping, gear up light still on. Checked dip stick nothing on, put engine oil in, dropped dip stick and could not retrieve. Still no pressure on hand pump. Put breaker in and gear lever up then down still nothing, pulled breaker, hand pumped again still no pressure.
