Question about 722.3 MB Trannys....Tougher than we think?

Hi all,

I was down under my car inspecting rust damage and formulating plans the other day when I noticed that there appears to be mounting "ears" on the back of the transmission. Now, these ears look very similar to the ones on many american truck/suv transmissions for mounting 4x4 transfer cases.

So therefore, my question is this: Was the 722.3 Automatic transmission used on the Unimog, etc? I know that in europe there are Unimogs with diesels, so it would stand to reason.......And in that case, there shouldn't be any concern for the transmission in pulling snowmobile/jetski/motorcycle trailers, etc.....Especially if one were to put a secondary transmission cooler in after the radiator heat-exchanger cooler.

Just a thought I had.

Here is a picture of the "ears":
