I've had this wheeled loader and backhoe for a couple of months; it works well but it's not been looked after for the past few years.
I used it a couple of days ago to move a machine weighing about 500kg slung from the front bucket. All was going well until I stopped to sort out where I was going to put the machine.
When I tried to start, nothing - no horn, no lights, no glow plugs, nothing! Checked the battery and had about 13v, checked the earth lead which was well grounded.
I took out the dash and checked the main switch which was also okay.
Am I missing something? Is there a fuse or safety switch I've missed - I've looked all round and can find nothing - there's a few loose wires behind the dash that look like they've not been connected for years leading to lights etc and I've replaced a couple of suspect wires but still nothing.
Any ideas,?

We don't have RW30's in the USA, but I can give you general info based on the way Kubota does things.
Look down by the starter for a main fuse or a fusible link (it will look like a connector with a loop of wire).
