## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER TAKE-OFF PILOT RETACTED GEAR ALL 3 GREEN LIGHTS WENT OUT AND UNLOCKED LIGHT WAS OUT.  RADIO CALL FROM TOWER INFORMED PILOT THAT LT MAIN GEAR WAS NOT RETRACTED.  PILOT PUT GEAR DOWN AND GOT ALL 3 GREEN LIGHTS. SHUT DOWN LT ENGINE IN CASE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING AND MADE UNEVENTFUL LANDING. AIRCRAFT INSPECTED AND IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LT MAIN RETRACT TORQUE TUBE WAS BROKEN. NEW PART ON ORDER. (TC NR 20070511002)
