Front prop turns when stationary? If it does then you've broken something in your front axle, diff, cv, half, shaft etc! Try it in diff lock. It should put the drive to the rear axle too but you'll only be two wheel drive and may get orrible noises out the front axle depending on what's broken,

Take the front prop off and use difflock.

try the h/l to make sure its in neutral

make sure diffs are ok jack one wheel up off the ground to check do this on the front and back because if the rear is knackered then you can drive in 2wd
also do you have any drive ? in any gear ?
have you a good clutch ?

clutch is fine , when we engage gear and release clutch front prop turns but makes grinding noises , when we select either hi or low , still same effect front turns but not rear and no drive at all ..

Read my post! Front prop should not be able to turn when stationary! It should make the wheels turn, soooo something is broken in the front axle! If you put it in diff lock it will put drive to the rear wheels as I said in my first post and it will drive but you will still have a broken front axle!!!

To lock the diff you need to push the hi - lo lever to the left

If its never been used its probably pretty seized, work it side to side and make sure it's not in the neutral position
