DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTION-EXTENSION MECHANISM HAD BEEN SERVICED JUST PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT AND ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS FOR FAILING TO PROPERLY EXTEND OR RETRACT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AN EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE OVERCENTER LOCKING MECHANISM WAS DIRTY AND GUMMY. THIS PREVENTED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE FROM FULLY EXTENDING THE NOSE GEAR. AFTER A GOOD CLEANING, THE NOSE GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY.
