Might be worth while to contact Skywatcher USA directly. I think there might be some more mounting hardware missing than just the gear so they are the best bet for having the parts you need.
Will try to email them. Thanks!

I don't own this mount so I can't say for sure. It looks like there is a small brass gear on the right side of the "head".
I would think this engages with a large, fixed gear that would be mounted to the base (missing in your picture). That way when the small drive gear starts moving it rotates the AZ axis with a significant gear reduction. This is probably the mechanism that sits in the "bowl" section in Gfamily's picture.
I believe that the missing part is the gear. Do you have any idea where to buy those large gear?

I tried to operate it and it is not moving? The motor is running but the body is not moving. I was wondering what part is missing.

Just an update:
I contacted Rother Valley Optics for spare parts.

Are they a good company?
