A mounting apparatus for pivotally connecting a soil working tool to an agricultural tool bar. The mounting apparatus comprises a support bracket fastened to the tool bar by a U-bolt, a tool holding member which wraps around the tool and is pivotally connected at a medial point therealong to a lower end of the support bracket, and a biasing means connected to an upper end of the support bracket and pivotally attached by a connector member to the tool holder member at a position spaced from the connection of the support bracket and tool holder member. The support bracket is a one-piece channel shaped structure and comprises a web, side flanges, an upper connector lug for fastening same to the biasing means, pivotal means for allowing the tool holder member to rotate relative thereto, and stop means for limiting maximum rotation of the tool holder member. The support bracket attaches to the tool bar at cutouts on the outside edge of the flanges opposite the web thereby forming a strong rectangular structure therebetween. The support bracket is formed from a one-piece blank stamped from sheet metal stock.
