Lanse; The main options to look for would be double disk openers, grass seed box and press wheels. Those options would be hard to find together on an older Van Brundt drill. They can be found on JD 8000 series drills. The different models numbers on the 8000 drills mean different base machines. The 8200 would just have a single top door and smaller grain box than the JD 8300. The 8300 has a double top doors so it has a larger seed box. The JD 8350 drill has the same double door setup but is split into a fertilizer hopper and seed hopper. The 450 drills really where about the same as the JD 8300 just with a single top door. Also the JD 8300 seed rate setting on the flute feed was one for each side. So sometimes getting each side of the box to empty evenly took some fiddling. The JD 450 had one adjustment for the entire drill.
The JD 8300 drills and JD 450 drill could be sold with many different options. So you need to look at a specific drill so we can comment on the options. I would suggest for your type of seeding that flute feed, double disk openers, grass seed box and press wheels would be the options you would get the most good out of. In the south you should be able to find a JD 8300 optioned this way for $2000-3500 depending on condition. The further north the more valuable a drill setup like this would be.
I would tend to stay away from a drill that has fertilizer. It is darn rare that the prior owners kept it clean and oiled when stored. So the majority of them are rusted and or stuck.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
