If my ranger's hubs lock and turning the front driveshaft does noot make the front wheels turn, what are the possible problems?

Broken Spiders,
Broken R&P
Anything Else?

When its jacked up, turning a wheel has NO effect on the other or the shaft.

And yes, hubs are locked.

What gives?

you say turning the d-shaft doesnt turn the wheels...does it turn the axle shafts??? if so it could be as simple as a broken hub, i would suspect a hub before anything else!

If the axle spins when turning the driveshaft its a hub If each axle spins when turning a wheel spider gears if one spins and one doesnt axle....

Are the back wheels off the ground? If the tranny is in gear and you left the back wheels on the ground you wont be able to to turn it.
