just a question. will a M925 winch fit in the same place on a M818. from looking at 925 winch kinda looks the same. i think.

the winches are the same

but driven by hydraulic motor instead of drive shaft

I figured something was different when i saw a hydraulic resivoir on the starboard side in back. So the input has an adapter for the hydrastic motor. Can a drive shaft be used instead.

. Spring is here and my mechanical winch wants to be placed on my M818. As a former multi year gov employee I tend to knot to do things on time when I own it.

Nope. If you have a hydraulic powered winch - no - you can't power it with a driveshaft. Unless you can find the part that bolts in place on the winch itself...
