## Discrepancy

FLT NR 0417 - TPA - THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  THE GEAR WAS RECYCLED THREE TIMES BUT GEAR STILL WOULD NOT RETRACT.  FLIGHT DIVERTED TO TPA.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED O-RING AT THE NOSE STRUT SCHRADER VALVE.  THE STRUT WAS SERVICED AND THE GEAR CYCLED.  OPERATIONS CHECKED GOOD.  (M)
