In most cases, you will need the older drill to be equipped with a "grass seeder attachment" if you want to be able to get a reasonable (low) seeding rate.
The drill will likely have a 6" or 7" spacing.

You set the drill to run REAL shallow, just scattering the soil around a bit over the seed, followed by the press wheels or cover chains.
In this photo of a newer DEERE drill, the little box with the cover open at the front of the main seed hopper is the "grass seeder attachment". Older drills and/or other makes will be set up in similar fashion.
