CAT 257b won't start

I recently bought this machine and it started up fine. After not using it for a week it wouldn't turn over. I gave it a jump but I had to keep the cables connected for a half hour before it would turn over but after that it started fine for the rest of the day. A few days later it was dead again this time i disconnected the battery and hooked the jumper cables up directly to the battery cables (with no battery) and gave it a jump. It started right up and ran fine even without a battery so it's not the alternator. A few day later I tried to do the same thing but I accidentally touched the positive jumper cable to ground. I think I blew a fuse to the starter or damaged it somehow because it's not even cranking now. I looked at the fuses underneath the seat and they were all fine. Is there a fuse somewhere else on the machine that I should check?
