My D was converted to retractable gear way back in the 60's. I'm only aware of a couple left with fixed gear.
I actually recently had an issue with that retractable gear and ended up having to do a belly landing. I suppose I would have been better off with the fixed gear.

I had the PlanePower conversion installed on my 1963 M20D a little over a year ago when the generator died. Best money I have ever spent on my plane. I can now run all my radios and all my lights while taxiing at big airports.

No, it's manual (J-Bar). That would be quite the conversion though; all the way from fixed gear to electric. I wonder if anyone has done that with a D.
In my case a retraction tube broke and the right main gear wouldn't extend.
