If your original Heavy Duty Systems HD 500 radio has failed, choose from three practical replacement options for 12-volt and 24-volt equipment
The original HD 500 was a two-piece factory-installed audio system commonly used in skid steers and construction equipment. The control head was mounted near the operator, while the larger tuner box was hidden behind or beside the seat.
Before ordering, locate the hidden tuner box and confirm whether your equipment uses a 12-volt or 24-volt system
