Narrative:
When we checked the plane in bos we saw a logbook item concerning difficulty getting the landing gear down the day before in sju. Parts were replaced and no difficulties were recorded for the flight to bos. All preflight, departure and en route operations were normal. When we attempted to extend the landing gear during our approach to ZZZ nothing happened. After making a go around and getting delayed vectors with approach control, we attempted numerous variations on recycling the gear, trying both detection system and so on. No luck. We then declared an emergency, extended the gear with the hand crank alternate procedure and landed without further incident. After stopping we had the gear pinned and got towed to the gate.
