## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3994 (MSP TO LSE) AFTER TAKEOFF RETRACTING THE LANDING GEAR THE CREW REPORTED IT SOUNDED LIKE THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR CYCLING REPEATEDLY.  NO AUDIBLE WARNINGS, NO GEAR DISAGREE, WITH GEAR INDICATIONS EXTINGUISHED.  AIRCRAFT PERFORMED AIR RETURN BACK TO MSP.  FOUND LOCKING LEVER PIVOT BOLT 9 ON NLG MECHANISM BINDING.  REPLACED STANDARD WASHER UNDER NUT WITH THIN WASHER, AS SPECIFIED IN THE IPC.  RELIEVED BINDING WHICH ALLOWS FREE MOVEMENT OF OVERCENTER MECHANISM.  ACTUATOR MECHANISM OPS CHECKS GOOD PER 32-22-10.
