J9613-49 – Lord Engine Mount Kit
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Lord J9613-49 is a genuine OEM, flight-critical engine mount kit, engineered specifically for the Cessna 210 and T210 Centurion series of aircraft. Manufactured by Parker LORD, the global leader in vibration control technology, this kit provides a complete, factory-specified set of four individual J-9613-11 elastomeric mounts. This engineered system is designed to utilize a "dynafocal" principle to support the full weight and torque of the powerful Continental 520-series engine while isolating the airframe, avionics, and occupants from its intense vibrations.
Key Features
- Complete, Matched Set: Contains a full ship-set of four (4) individual Lord J-9613-11 mounts. Replacing all mounts simultaneously with a matched set is a critical requirement for ensuring the system performs as designed and that loads are distributed evenly across the mounting points.
- Tuned Vibration Isolation: Each mount is specifically "tuned" with a proprietary elastomer that has the precise spring rate (stiffness) and damping characteristics required to isolate the unique vibrational frequencies of the Continental IO-520 and TSIO-520 engines on the Centurion airframe.
- Dynafocal Design Principle: The mounts are designed to be installed at specific, focused compound angles. This dynafocal arrangement ensures that the vibrational forces produced by the engine are directed towards the aircraft's center of gravity, providing maximum isolation and a significantly smoother, quieter flight.
- High-Strength Bonded Construction: Each individual mount features a high-strength chemical bond between the specially formulated elastomer and the corrosion-resistant steel mounting plates. This bond is stronger than the elastomer itself, preventing delamination and failure under high G-loads and engine torque.
- Genuine Lord OEM Kit: As the genuine OEM kit specified by Textron Aviation (Cessna), it guarantees that every component meets the original Type Certificate requirements for performance, safety, and durability.

Applications
The J9613-49 kit is the flight-critical solution for engine installation and maintenance:
- Engine Installation & Replacement: The only certified mounting system for installing a Continental 520-series engine onto the specified Cessna 210 airframes.
- Scheduled Maintenance: Engine mounts are life-limited components that must be inspected regularly for elastomer degradation (cracking, hardening, fluid contamination) and compression set. This kit is used to replace time-expired or unserviceable mounts.
- Vibration Resolution: The primary solution for resolving issues of increasing airframe vibration and cabin noise, which are often the first indicators of aging engine mounts.
Why Choose J9613-49?
The engine mounting system is a critical airframe structure. Worn or failed mounts can lead to a dramatic increase in vibration, which can cause fatigue damage to the engine mount structure, firewall, instruments, and exhaust system. Using the genuine Lord J9613-49 kit is the only way to ensure the vibration isolation system performs as the engineers intended. The matched set of mounts guarantees a balanced installation, restoring the aircraft to its original smooth, quiet flight characteristics and protecting the long-term value and safety of the airframe.

The Lord J-9613-49 kit utilizes the "Dynafocal" engine mounting principle, a significant advancement over older "bed" style mounts. In a Dynafocal system, the mounts are positioned at compound angles so that imaginary lines drawn through the center of each mount's most flexible axis all converge on a single "focal point" located at the aircraft's center of gravity (CG). This geometric arrangement allows the engine/propeller combination to pivot softly around the CG in response to vibrational forces, effectively isolating these forces from the airframe structure itself. The precisely engineered stiffness of the J-9613-11 mounts included in this kit is essential to achieving this tuned dynamic response for the powerful Continental 520-series engines.
Note: Engine mounts are flight-critical components and should always be replaced as a complete set to ensure uniform performance and prevent uneven loading. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic in strict accordance with the current Textron Aviation (Cessna) maintenance manual. Pay close attention to the installation orientation and the specified torque values for all mounting hardware.
