If it's from the mid 90's I'd avoid it! In general Mustang are good skid steers but the small ones from that era were WAY under powered. I rented one to do a job in very tight quarters and down a 4' retaining wall. One thing I don't like about Mustangs is that the hydraulic tank is in the belly of the machine. It didn't have enough power to back up the ramps to get out of the hole! It ended up tipping forward on the bucket when I tried to take a little(12") run to get up the ramps. Now I had a scary situation. The bucket was raised about 1/2 way so it wouldn't drag on the ground when I started up the ramps. I couldn't lower the boom to put the machine back on all fours because it was starved for oil. I had no other choice but to crawl out of the machine when it was tipped forward. I had to use all my chains a couple boomers hooked to a tree to right it. Mustang used to have their own style single pin quick attach that nothing else fit. I would also suggest going up a size to a 1000 or preferably a 1300 lb. rated capacity skid steer. Much more stable and will do a ton more work.
