Sols?

Yah... that's the gizmo, ye old accumulator. Does anyone know when Cessna added it into the line?

Well Rick, your no-worky-gear on takeoff might be the squat switch up front not closing, or a break in the wire since that particular components wiring gets a work-out... hows the strut pressure. Sounds like this developed 'after' your log rolling incident. Did you hit a log with the gear at all? Could be a simple electrics problem in the LDG Gear lever-switch. Or the solenoid valves on the power pack not working right... when'd you last clean/service them?

We had a similar problem on our '77... called for gear-up on takeoff, the motor started but nothing happened. After cleaning the solenoids everything has worked just fine.
