WE RAN THE CHECKLIST FOR THE GEAR WILL NOT RETRACT- WHICH DID NOT COMPLETELY APPLY IN THIS SITUATION- AND SUBSEQUENTLY WERE ABLE TO FORCE THE GEAR HANDLE DOWN TO THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION . WE NEVER HAD A GEAR UNLOCKED RED LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT SAFELY DOWN AND LOCKED . BURNT OFF 300 POUNDS OF FUEL AND LANDED UNDER MAX LANDING WEIGHT. REPLACED LANDING GEAR CONTROLLER. OPS CHECK GOOD. IAW AMM 32-01-00.
