A spring trip standard for a tillage implement includes a coil spring freely and solely compressed between an upper spring-abutting surface on the mounting bracket and a lower spring-abutting surface on a casting which is connected by a transverse pivot to the mounting bracket. A tool supporting shank is bolted to the casting and biased downwardly into a ground working position by the spring. The casting includes an integral stop extending forwardly from the pivot. The stop contacts the bottom of the bracket when the shank is in the ground working position so that a tension link between the bracket and casting is eliminated. A spring guide through the coils is also obviated. A relatively high initial trip force prevents unwanted tripping of the shank and prevents looseness in the shank pivot so the lateral position of the tool is maintained. The spring- abutting surface on the casting includes a spring receiving projection to help maintain the spring position relative to the shank. The projection is slotted to receive a special tool for compressing the spring for standard disassembly and reassembly. The special tool also facilitates replacement of a bushing and sleeve assembly in the pivot with only partial disassembly.
