Since the battery load tests good, lets assume it is good for the moment.
Try the starter a few more times and make some observations.
Do the cables feel hot at any connection? Feel the cable ends, the ground connection at the engine block, the connection at the solenoid, and the connection going into the starter. If any are hot, or showing signs of heat discoloration, check the connection.
Do the cables jump and get warm all the way to the starter, and does the starter case get warm? If yes, then power is getting to the starter.
Look the controls over carefully, is there a hydraulic lever stuck in any position besides neutral? Are all the engine accessories turning, water pump, alternator, etc? Can you manually turn the engine through with reasonable force? Did anything unusual happen last time it ran, overheating, smoke, loss of power, oil level low or high?
If everything checks out, jumping or swapping the battery doesn't help, good chance it's a starter problem. Could just be a bad bushing.
