You asked about John Deere hand clutches. They are, as I stated, easy to work on. That is not to imply that they have to be worked on a lot. They are very durable, BUT, they do invite poor operator technique in that they are very easy to "feather" (slip) for certain applications, i.e., traveling short distances, slow creep, etc. As an example, our neighbor used to have his daughter drive his A pulling a wagon loading bales of hay that had been free dropped. Load was about half full when she said: "Daddy, I can't touch the clutch handle, it's too hot". She wasn't fully engaging the clutch by giving it that final over center poke. The clutch had gotten so hot from the constant slipping that the heat had traveled all the way up the handle. Still, the clutch continued to operate OK once cooled down. Otherwise, they are about the easiest clutch in the world to repair. No splitting the tractor or pulling the engine. Just pop off the pulley cover and replace about ten or so parts. Facings, bonded drive and slider discs, dogs, springs, T bolts, hex nuts, etc. Good idea to check everything, belt pulley brake lining, clutch lever pivot bushing and bolt, etc. JD manuals are readily available.
