First off be careful because you will be working under your vehicle.
Check your linkages, fittings, bolts (that none are missing), and splines.
Obtain a new gasket and gear oil then drain and remove the inspection cover (s). Check that the gears, splines, bushings, bearings, etc. are good and intact.
Check oil sump areas for fragments or broken parts.
My guess something inside the transfer case has snapped but you never know could be something that came loose.

SOURCE: I have a 1999 Polaris Ranger 6 x 6 what engages the front wheels transmission or front gear box

I'm in the UK and not familiar with your particular vehicle..
However, the front gearbox as you call it is probably a transfer unit/case. This transfer case takes power from your auto transmission and transfers it to the front wheels.

You can remove the front propshaft (drive shaft) from the transfer case/front differential and make your vehicle 2 wheel drive. This, supposedly, gives you better mpg.
