I have a decision to make and I am looking for some input.

My Harbor Freight 60 gallon single stage air compressor (single phase 220V 3.75 hp motor) stopped working over the weekend. Upon some investigation, the pump seems to be worn. I can obtain a new pump exactly like the one on the compressor for $200 plus shipping. Is this a good idea or given the entire machine is 15 years old, is it worth fixing of just start new?

A new compressor of similar size runs around $800. I use this compressor almost daily in my personal shop wrenching on the many cars/trucks/atvs that come by.

Thoughts?
