It would depend on the cost to replace the jack with a similar one. If it was a Snap-On jack, it's probably worth repairing. A cheap 2 ton jack from Advance Auto Parts, probably not!

you can service the hydraulic jack but is it worth it. if it's an old jack and is leaking, the seals are probably bad. replaceable but at a price, and that price is usually more than a new jack. especially if you have to order the parts by mail.
i rebuild mine because my grandpa gave it to me, but it's a loss money wise.

When I poured it into a better container that had a cover I saw that the bottom of the container was wet. So of course was the bottom of the salt that just came out of it. Can it be used this winter? Do I need to do anything to it to get it dry? Lay it out in the sun while it's not too humid here?

I wish I would have listened to my husband while he was still around better than I did. I think I remember him doing something like this long ago, probably to another jack. I think I'm better off than many widows in that I know lots about what all this garage stuff does but I'm stumped on this stuff. If the jack is fixable I could give it away. If not it will go in the trash.
