A mounting for connecting an operating head, that generates vibrations when in use, to a vehicle in a manner to minimize the transmission of vibrations from the head to the vehicle. The mounting comprising a number of female connector device on one of the head and the vehicle and a similar number of male connecting device on the other of the head and vehicle, the male connecting device each carrying a resilient sleeve. The male connecting device are inserted into the female connecting device and a bolt is passed through each female connecting device and each resilient sleeve associated with it to join the head to the vehicle.

I claim: 1. A mounting for connecting a brush cutting head, having a cylindrical cutting drum rotatable about its longitudinal axis, to a vehicle in a manner to minimize the transmission of the vibrations from the head to the vehicle when the cutting head is operated, the mounting comprising a number of female connecting means on one of the head and the vehicle and a corresponding number of male connecting means on the other of the head and vehicle, the female and male connecting means sized and located to have the male connecting means snuggly enter the female connecting means when connecting the brush cutting head to the brush cutting vehicle, the male connecting means each carrying a tubular resilient sleeve, the longitudinal axis of the resilient sleeve parallel to the longitudinal rotational axis of the cylindrical drum when the male connecting means is inserted into the female connecting means and a bolt passing through each female connecting means, and each resilient sleeve associated with each female connecting means, to detachably, yet immovably, join the head to the vehicle. 2. A mounting as claimed in claim 1, wherein there are four female and four male connecting means, the four female connecting means on the corners of an imaginary female rectangle, the four male connecting means on the corners of an imaginary male rectangle matching the shape of the imaginary female rectangle. 3. A mounting as claimed in claim 2 wherein two of the female connecting means share a first female bracket, one connecting means above the other, and the other two female connecting means share a second female bracket, one connecting means above the other, the two brackets mounted on the one of the cutting head and the vehicle horizontally spaced apart and parallel to each other. 4. A mounting as claimed in claim 3 wherein two of the male connecting means share a first male bracket, one connecting means above the other, and the other two male connecting means share a second male bracket, one connecting means above the other, the two brackets mounted on the other of the cutting head and the vehicle horizontally spaced apart and parallel to each other, the male brackets snugly insertable into the female brackets. 5. A mounting as claimed in claim 1 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member within which the resilient tubular sleeve is mounted, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support. 6. A mounting as claimed in claim 3 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member within which the resilient tubular sleeve is mounted, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support. 7. A mounting as claimed in claim 3 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member within which the resilient tubular sleeve is mounted, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support. 8. A mounting as claimed in claim 4 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member within which the resilient tubular sleeve is mounted, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support, the rigid tubular member mounted within the bracket. 9. A mounting as claimed in claim 3 wherein each female connecting means on each bracket includes a pair of spaced apart ears extending forwardly from the bracket, a hole in each ear horizontally aligned with the hole in the other ear, the bolt passing through the holes. 10. A mounting as claimed in claim 9 wherein two of the male connecting means share a first male bracket, one connecting means above the other, and the other two male connecting means share a second male bracket, one connecting means above the other, the two brackets mounted on the other of the cutting head and the vehicle horizontally spaced apart and parallel to each other, the male brackets snugly insertable into the female brackets between the spaced pairs of ears. 11. A mounting as claimed in claim 10 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member fixedly mounted with the male bracket, the resilient tubular sleeve mounted within the rigid tubular member, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support and the aligned holes in the ears in the female connecting means. 12. A mounting as claimed in claim 9 wherein each male connecting means carries a rigid tubular member within which the resilient tubular sleeve is mounted, and a rigid tubular support mounted within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the tubular support. 13. A mounting as claimed in claim 1 wherein each female connecting means has a female bracket, each bracket including a pair of spaced apart ears extending forwardly from the female bracket, a hole in each ear horizontally aligned with the hole in the other ear, the bolt passing through the holes. 14. A mounting as claimed in claim 13 wherein each male connecting means has a male bracket, a rigid tubular member fixedly mounted within the bracket and aligned with holes in the male bracket, the resilient tubular member mounted within the rigid tubular member, a rigid tubular support within the tubular sleeve, the bolt passing through the holes in the male bracket and through the rigid tubular support.
