ABSTRACT:
The depending struts on a tool beam have "floating" bearings at their lowermost ends which can be displaced in a horizontal direction generally parallel to the beam between relatively closely spaced, fixed limits. The bearings in turn journal a disc gang assembly for rotation of the latter during ground engagement, yet the bearings are secured against axial displacement relative to the assembly so that the assembly and the bearings can move together through said displacement between the fixed limits. Adjustment of the struts along the beam during installation until they are positioned between such limits so as to permit displacement in either direction thereby avoids axial pre-loading of the bearings.
