Turn turn turn! Not with keyframes, but with the sweetness of a dynamic simulation. Good luck with yours. Mine worked just fine.
A nice extra touch would be a grinding gear sound. If it fits, it adds so much to your animation!
There are many in-depth tutorials in my channel which cover dynamic simulations. But only one with a functioning set of gears. Try this out as well: • Maya: Rotating Gears [Expressions]
The music: "Short and Sweet", composed and performed by me, Maximilian Schönherr, licensed via GEMA, Germany.
