It's not uncommon for there to be a bad internal connection between the lead battery cable end and the wires inside it, especially when more than one wire enters the lead end.
When it appears to be ''dead'' check directly between the battery POSTS with a test light.
If that shows the battery has power, turn the headlights on for a load, then use the test light between the (-) battery POST and the chassis. If the light comes on the poor connection is at the ground side.
Do the same thing between the (+) POST and the battery-side terminal on the starter solenoid, and wherever any additional wires from the (+) terminal go. With the headlights on and potentially drawing power the test light will come on when across a bad connection.
I am betting you will find the problem inside one of the cable ends.
If NOT, there's several fuseable links feeding various circuits from the solenoid stud where the battery cable attaches and weird things can go on with the fuseable links or the connections at either end of them.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
