FLIGHT CREW CYCLED GEAR DOWN MANUALLY IAW QRH BOOK, RECEIVED 3 GREEN LIGHTS (DOORS CLOSED) AND WHEN SELECTED GEAR UP, THE GEAR RETRACTED NORMALLY AND LOCKED. ON LANDING AT DESTINATION, LANDING GEAR EXTENDED NORMALLY AND AIRCRAFT LANDED NORMALLY. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NLG DRAG STRUT ACTUATOR.  (TC NR 20070903001)
