I agree, I've never seen a vehicle of any sort with a fuse on the starter cable. If you really wanted to do something, a circuit breaker would be more appropriate than a fuse, but I can't even imagine how may amps it would need to be to crank a diesel. Just stick to protecting the cables. And of course the lead terminal itself serves as a fuse on a severe cable short, I've seen the terminal melted right off the battery on a bad short on a piece of machinery.
