Can anyone tell me where the Clutch Safety Switch is located on an AC6080 2WD?

Remove the black panel down by you feet. Maybe about 8 metric bolts to remove. It's in there. If it won't crank over, there are a couple of PTO safety switches that can also cause that.

It’s a real pain to get to it so be prepared. The pto switches are on the right side of the transmission below the pto disconnect lever. There are 2 of those. All 3 switches are the same type. Make sure you get them adjusted correctly or you will damage the switch.

There's more to it. Of the two switches on the right hand side, one of them is for the engine cranking circuit. The other one, just turns the light on in the dash. There's a second PTO safety switch for engine cranking on the left-hand side, below the seasonal disconnect lever. At least one of the levers has to be in a disconnect position before the engine will turn over. Between the switches, wiring connections, and voltage drop in the harnesses, it can cause a low voltage problem at the starter solenoid. An auxiliary slave solenoid or relay can help to make sure that you're getting a solid 12 volts to the white wire on the starter solenoid.
