Looks like you need to get a fixed drawbar, looks like yours is missing.
that is the best and easiest place to mount a trailer with a ball or a pin.
watch this video clip to see what it is... The Drawbar - YouTube

This helped and thanks, where can I get a genuine set-up? I see aftermarket bars on E-bay but Id like to have genuine assy

This is a perfect example of why it can be helpful to have your location in your profile... at least your state, that way someone in your area can stand a chance of knowing where you could find Local tractor salvages...
Like Most tractor components for older tractors, Used is just as good as New, you are much more likely to find good used pieces for great prices... Another thing to do is 'Google' Kubota tractor salvages... KennyV

Hello 1930 - I used to have a Kubota B6100DT about the same vintage as yours. Your pictures look very familiar.

To answer your question about getting a "genuine" set up for the draw-bar, there is no such thing as far as I know. A draw bar is an "attachment" and so any manufacturer's attachments that are CAT1 (That's basically a size specification) will fit and work on your B6100E. There is no reason go get Kubota attachments. You can get drawbars and other attachments at places like Tractor Supply, you local tractor dealer or on line.

As to specific parts for your tractor (filters, switches, etc) check out Messicks on line: Kubota B61 Parts

As to the glow plug - my light came on as soon as I put the switch in the pre-heat position - which I held for max 30 seconds in winter - maybe 10 seconds otherwise. My oil pressure light came on within seconds of engine start. As I recall there was a warning in the manual that said if it doesn't come on in 5 seconds after start - shut the engine down.

Get a Kubota "FIXED drawbar", NOT a "3point lift, bar"... there are many ways to do the same task, generally several wrong ways, usually Only one right way. Stick with the right way and you can avoid finding out why there are several wrong ways to do something.
The bar that mounts between the 2 lifting arms on a tractor 3point is Not a 'Fixed Drawbar'. Dont use it as one and you will Not need to know the various reasons why you shouldn't.

KennyV is right - to pull a trailer you need a Cat1 "Fixed Drawbar"

FIXED DRAWBAR ................ 3Point lift Bar

A fixed drawbar has extensions to the toplink that prevents it from rotating between the 3 point lift arms.

The Fixed drawbar I am referring to is shown in the video clip I included in the #9 post to this thread...
You are correct that the combination lower and upper attachment is an improvement over the regular 3Point lift bar... But it still is Not a good substitute for the Tractor Fixed Draw bar.
When you attach anything to the 3Point there are inherent dangers to the operator and equipment that will not become apparent until it is too late. That is why it is best to use the Fixed Drawbar for it's intended application keeping the bar Under the rear axle at all times.

I watched that video, my set-up isnt exactly like his. I will get what you say, I agree cause I read what you mention in the manual and others have said it as well. I google Kabota fixed drawbar and I am shown many different options and Im not sure that any of them are correct for my exact set-up.

This is what I have at this point, a well used place to attach a fixed drawbar.

Can you suggest one that will fit properly no doubt about it or do I need to take some measurements?

Ill need hardware as well.
