I have a Yamaha big bear 350 4x4 I put new cv axis on both front still make grinding sound

If the CV Joints are new and correctly inserted, the most likely culprit for the noise would be the brakes. Remove the front wheels and turn the hub.

It could also be the front differential, or failed wheel bearings. Details in the link.

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.

Polaris 325 magnum

It sounds like it could possibly be the ring gear in the rear differential. (Where the drive shaft enters the diff.) If the ring gear gets stripped the drive shaft will turn but it's not transferring that power to the rear axle. Lift the rear end off the ground and spin the rear wheel by hand. Listen for a clicking sound at the rear differential. If it is clicking then I would bet the ring gear is stripped.

Rear wheels lock up at high speeds

Sounds like a bent axle.... or something in the rear differential. ...the heat generated by the bent axle will cause all the clearances to disappear!!!
