[Jon]

Here is a gear problem I solved...

... or kinduv. At least I shed some light on all possible solutions... but
not rotely analytically... but maybe...

see what you think

Jon,

You seem to be drawing the sides of the teeth as straight lines.
On actual gears they are an involute so they don't grind.

The geometry of gear and screw design is an interesting blend of
practice and science.
