Abstract
A tool assembly for an agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging tool mounted to the implement support frame by an assembly of a support post, a mounting bracket and a frame mount. At least one of the support post and the mounting bracket includes a substantially cylindrical rod and a collar having an axial opening configured to receive the rod. An interface arrangement may provide multiple contact areas between the support post and the collar. A recessed pocket may retain a nut that threads onto set screw used to engage the rod, such as at a detent recess, and fix the position of the support post with respect to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket may provide for alternate fore-aft and lateral mounting orientations.
