The other day I was trying to start skid steer when everything went dead. I checked the battery terminals and they are good. I checked all relays and fuses and they are fine. I have no juice going to my ignition switch. Everything is dead on the machine. Not sure what to look for. Thanks

How about safety switches seat or seat belt safety bar
Nothing, everything is dead. It acts as if the battery is completely dead. Battery is charged.

If it's a later model machine it may have blown the 100 amp fuse. What's the first 7 digits of your machine serial number?
I purchased it new around 2000. I check all fuses that are located below the seat. Where would the 100 amp fuse be located? I haven't found that. Thanks

Year purchased means nothing, everything Bobcat(manuals, wiring schematics and parts) is serial number driven.
If your machine has the 100 amp fuse here's where it's at.

There are two red wires coming from your positive battery terminal. One goes to the starter, the other goes strait up about 1 foot. From there it goes into a smallish black plastic box. Open the box and inside the cable is bolted to a terminal. The fuse is right there you will see it. I've saw this cable become corroded and only need cleaning or possibly just tightened up a bit.
I tested the wire going to the starter. That has power. When it leaves the starter is where I lose power. Would this rule out the 100 amp fuse?

Can't give you a answer until you provide the serial number info to determine if your machine has the 100 amp fuse.
Ok, I'll get it tomorrow. Thanks

You should have power to the starter. One positive cable runs directly from the battery to the starter. If there is a second red cable coming from the positive terminal of the battery, running strait up above the battery. That cable connects to the fuse. Thats the main fuse for your machine, if its blown you will not have any power coming into the machine. Its the easiest thing to check.
