Is it electric 4WD or manual 4WD? Are there any lights illuminated on the dash? Are you sure the front axles are locked?

Hard to say exactly what it might be since it's been sitting a long time. You're going to have to start with the basics and check the linkage, see if the axles lock, check for any rotted or loose connections, etc.
